The Little Red Book of Selling: 12.5 Principles of Sales Greatness
Jeffrey Gitomer
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
Rank: 465
From Publishers Weekly If salespeople are worried about how to sell, Gitomer (The Sales Bible)
believes they are missing out on the more important aspect of sales: why
people buy. This, he says, is "all that matters," and his latest book aims
to demystify buying principles for salespeople.
From the red cloth cover to
the small trim size to the amusing (but not cloying) cartoons on almost
every page, this is an appealing and accessible book.
The author is
obviously enthusiastic, if not manic, about sales, and though some of his
mantras verge on hokey, much of his prose is straightforward and
realistic.
Each chapter includes a mini table of contents, pull quotes and
takeaway sound bites, examples of typical whines from salespeople (e.g.,
"the client said they spent their whole budget") paired with a positive
response (e.g., "Decision makers make the budget. Non-decision makers
spend the budget"), and plenty of advice and ideas that can be taken in
and studied as a whole or referred to at random for
inspiration. Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of
