By A Customer
Tom Hopkins does it again. His contribution to the "dummies" series is great. For all those people in a sales environment this book is a must for you. Learn how to prospect, who to prospect, and what to say. Whilst the scripts do not cater to everyone, they can be adapted to suit yourself.

Well Done.
