I have read a number of sales books over the years, and when I decided to purchase this one, I must admit I wondered if the bookshelf needed another one to collect dust !! The answer is NO, this book is simply written, simply stated and easy to refer back to. There are some areas that I probably wont need to use/consider, but the authors make it clear, the whole idea of the book is to use what parts are relevant to your level of know how, and help build on that.

I also found the questions at the end of the chapters to be very useful in determining what I thought of my abilities, aspirations and methods. I really have found the book a real gem.

My congrats to both Jeremy and Tom, guys you have not made this book pretentious or part of some major complex matrix of further enlightment, you have simply written a book that sales people need to know, do and say !! Thanks, Alan Wellington, New Zealand.

Very often I find business books to be either 'light weight,' offering nothing but regurgitated content, or, mind numbingly boring, with long and over detailed explanations of the most simple concepts.

Thankfully this book is neither - in fact it hits the mark perfectly, with a blend of core foundations that are well explained, and stretching concepts that will be new to many sales people.

The book opens with a chapter on how your mentality / personality / current mindset and other factors can impact your success. This is so important, yet so often over looked - buy this book, read only this chapter and take some action (the key bit) and you will have got more benefit than 99% of sales training courses will offer you.

One of the core principles covered in later chapter is that of giving and establishing an environment for reciprocity. The authors have put their principles into action and give more great content with planning, influencing, understanding your buyer, presenting solutions and developing customers all covered in later chapters.

A nice feature of the way the book has been written are the 'brilliant re-caps' at the end of each section and the exercises throughout to get you working right away on the right things for you. In this way it is almost a 'training manual' rather than a book and the page markers, scribbles in the margin and folded pages of my copy certainly reflect this.

In summary, all that you need to ramp up your selling skills - skills that we are use in someway in our lives, whether our job title is 'Sales' or not.

Can you really afford not to invest in yourself in this area?

I put this in the top three business books I have ever read (alongside Julian Richer's excellent 'The Richer Way' and Malcolm Gladwell's 'The Tipping Point' which - thinking about - it isn't really a business book, so make that 'top two'). Cassell and Bird effortlessly fuse a range of techniques, templates, stories and tips into a handbook that anyone can use - whether they are an out and out salesmen, business owner, or simply wanting to get better at influencing. You don't need to change the way you are with this book - most people are how they are. But it gives you the tools to start making small changes in the way you operate. I heartily recommend it to you, as I have to countless people personally.
