I’ve made a 30 year journey through Engineering and then Sales to learnt techniques of selling value. I had the good fortune of having a quality product and great role models to learn from. What I did not have was this book. I surely could have avoided many pitfalls, been a better employee, and served my customers better had this been placed in my hands. It’s now in yours. Give it a read…or two.
In this rapidly changing world, salespeople are constantly facing new situations and challenges. In an extremely relatable style, this book brings us real insight and useful instruction on how to continue to provide value to our customers, even when times are tough. Thank you, Paul. I’m looking forward to sharing the book with my sales team and continually using it as a reference in our training.
