Ask in the right way and ye shall receive raises, discounts, nights out with the boys, you name it according to this sprightly self-helper. Williams, a saleswoman and life coach, feels that people aren't getting what they want because they re too reticent, shy or fearful of rejection to pipe up and demand it. ...The author teaches us to suss out the hidden "What's in It For Me" motivators, from financial gain to altruistic glow, that make others accede to requests. Readers also learn to insinuate positive expectations into the request, to mirror the recipient's mood and body language, to rationally deflect objections and, ... to beyond... We learn the subtle art of the non-request request, ... and a sure-fire trick for taking your plea right to the CEO: tell his screening secretary that he wouldn't want anyone else to know why I'm calling. There's much practical wisdom here on everything from wringing the best deal out of a car salesman or mortgage lender to asking a motormouth coworker to shut up... this is an insightful, insistent how-to guide. An entertaining mix of canny advice and brash inspiration."
