A Must Have For Sales Personnel - This book, together with The New Conceptual Selling should be mandatory for any sales person. It introduces among other things, the concept of the Sales Funnel and of Win Results. If you are interested in repeat business and customer referrals you will not want to miss this book. Highly recommended!
Review of Strategic Selling - The main gripe I have with this book is that the authors are still selling it in the body of the book - well after I ve already purchased it! I suppose it s to be expected, they are in sales after all...Even so, it is a good baseline method for anyone that is involved in selling where there is or will be a long term relationship to manage. It draws on principles from other fields such as change management - and while it isn t new to learn that you need to identify your influencers, and that you need to show them the win that they will achieve by backing you - it is it is good to be reminded of this and the other tenets that are laid out in this book.Overall, a good purchase
Very helpful - I am a Regional Sales Manager for a medical device company, and this book is extremely helpful for anyone who is selling into a complex environment. It gives very useful tips on how to identify exactly where you stand with an account, who s who in an account, and how to cover all of your bases so you don t get torpedo d by someone who you never even knew was involved in the sale in the first place. I bought copies for all of our outside field reps as well.
Great B2B Book - It is one of the BEST - This book is still one of the best. I recommend it to all the executives and companies I work with in turnarounding sales organizations and sales people who are struggling in the strategy of the deal.It is a GREAT framework for working a complex sale whether you are selling professional services, or a complex, large scale solution.It is not written and designed for anyone who is selling B2C or selling retail goods. There is no 10 steps to closing the deal - it s about professional selling.Best of luck - JosephBMurphy.com
