Recommendation
The primary decision maker in corporate purchasing no longer exists. Today, groups of diverse individuals – with conflicting agendas and representing varied organizational interests – make buying decisions, so previously effective sales strategies no longer work. Authors Brent Adamson, Matthew Dixon, Pat Spenner and Nick Toman tackle these issues in this companion book to The Challenger Sale. Their strategies call for finding champions within the organization, “Mobilizers,” to help gain group consensus and drive the buying process. Their manual offers numerous graphs and multi-step processes. Although some of the text is wordy, it is very informative and getAbstract believes the authors intelligently address a significant challenge for B2B sales professionals.
