This book will help you determine how serious you are about achieving sales success - This book is a 206 page powerhouse, but I want to direct you to pages 50 and 51:The Good News...The good news is that the Spin model has proved to be a versatile sales tool, works across cultures, applies across industries, is equally applicable to selling services or products.The Bad News...Our one million users would tell you in one voice: It s a lot harder than it seems. SPIN isn t a magic pill that you can take and turn yourself into an instant sales success. It s hard work. One of the immutable laws of business is that there s always a link between risk and reward. The more rewarding the outcome, the tougher it is to obtain. If SPIN questions were simple and automatic, then everyone would be using them already, and there would be no competitive advantage from the model. So there you have it. You will not only have to learn the basic principles of SPIN (Situation - Problem - Implication - Need Payoff), you will also have to personalize these principles into a game plan for each prospect, current customer, former customer......and in doing so you will be ahead of the curve. You ll be far down the road from the people who are still fumbling around for a simple and automatic approach. You will find few books on sales that are as honest as this one. Author Neil Rackham hands you a powerful set of tools, but make no mistake about it: your success will come entirely from what you choose to do with them. VERY highly recommended.
The Ultimate Step-by-Step Selling Guide - I speak around the world on lead generation and marketing strategy. Neil did an outstanding job crafting The SPIN Selling Fieldbook to give you a roadmap on how to master complex sales strategy. There is no other resource I can think of where you can easily perfect your approach and positioning sales strategy. Neil gives you step-by-step plan that anyone can follow in their quest to excel at marketing their products or services.The SPIN Selling Fieldbook gives you valuable hands on tools. I recommend the SPIN Selling Fieldbook. It is an invaluable resource that any salesperson or sales executive should have in their personal library.Joe Heller, Trust Cycle Selling
Better than the standard Spin Selling Book - This field book is better than the original book was. If you are going to buy just one of the two you should probably just buy the field book. It allows you to apply the ideas very quickly.
Practice makes perfect. - Usually is not enough to read a book to have the knowledge, you need to practice, and that is what this book helps to, giving you ideas on how to put SPIN method into practice.
Nice book, but too easy after reading SPIN Selling - I bought this book together with SPIN Selling. I read the Fieldbook after reading SPIN Selling. If you ve already read SPIN Selling, this book is not going to tell you much new things. If you would read the Fieldbook instead of SPIN Selling, then I think the Fieldbook is not thorough enough, at least if you compare it to SPIN Selling.In general I think the audience of this book is perhaps college students, or clever highschool students, but not really experienced salespeople. Maybe that s also because of the cartoons every now and then which make the book look like it s meant for younger people.What I expected when I bought both books was that the Fieldbook offerd some transcriptions of salescalls, and an explanation of why certain aspects are wrong and how this could be improved using SPIN Selling. This was not really the case, it was more like a simple summary of SPIN Selling. So not really the Fieldbook I expected.Anyway, the book is not bad, but I would not recommend to buy both SPIN Selling and the Fieldbook together. Also, if you re a serious and experienced salesperson I would recommend SPIN Selling. If you re new to sales or if you re still in college, I would recommend the Fieldbook.
