Customer Reviews

A Must-Buy and Must-Study for Sales Management

I have been in sales and sales management for over a decade and managed a division of 150 people. Never have I found a single resource like this book by Mr. Brooks that so concisely provides every bit of wisdom a sales manager MUST have to be successful. If you are in sales management OR IF YOU OWN A COMPANY, you simply must purchase this book, study it and implement every last word of it. Your staff will thank you, your clients will thank you, and your healthy bottom line will be more than enough reward.

Excellent scientific approach to sales management

This book is a thorough treatise on how to create an environment for salespeople in a company. Most companies do not have a systematic approach to hiring, training and retaining salespeople. This book provides an approach that is tested to help sales managers implement this approach.

Breakthrough Book!

This book is one of the best I've read on sales management and overall business strategies in years. The principles and ideas Brooks presents in "The New Science" are causing me to re-think the way I'm running my operation...and I've been running a sales-driven organization for over 30 years!I'd highly recommend this book to anyone whose income and success are driven by the performance of a sales team.

A must-have book

As a Sales Trainer for 22 years, I recommend this book as a must-have, must read book for any serious student of selling and sales management. I will recommend it in all of my seminars. Bill Brooks has shown again his grasp of what it takes to build a successful sales career and a successful sales organization.

A Great Read!

This is a dramatic, breakthrough book on selling. It takes a new and relevant approach to sales from both an organizational and individual point of view. This is an extremely important addition to the field of sales training.
