A Winner of a Book about Sales

Integrity Selling for the 21st Century: How to Sell the Way People Want to Buy is a useful book based on a customer needs-focused philosphy. It teaches a six step program: 1. Approach 2. Interview 3. Demonstrate 4. Validate 5. Netotiate 6. Close This easy-to-understand system can be applied to most selling challenges. This book is an interactive book with self-evaluation required. It is useful not only for the people who consider selling part of their business, but also for almost everyone. We are all selling something. The book is easy to read, and the headings are clear. It is a useful study tool. I like the principle that states that the main challenge of selling is emotional control. Many of us need to work on negative feelings before we try to sell. If we can learn to manage our emotions, we can learn to manage our sales outcomes. An excellent choice!

If everyone could read this book...

the world would be a better place to buy and sell. Willingham doesn't have a ground breaking concept, he just explains the concept in very concrete, easy to understand terms that are easy to implement. You might also want to check out, Soft Selling in a Hard World, by Jerry Vass.

If a person follows the process in this book, he/she will be successful in selling, no matter what the product. It is particularly valuable in taching how to sell high-dollar and multi-sales-call products/services.
