Recommendation

As publisher of Selling Power magazine, Gerhard Gschwandtner interviewed many human-psyche experts and then related their insights to the sales profession. Now, he shares his findings to explain what makes you and your customers tick. He offers techniques for improving your people skills and strengthening your relationships. Readers will learn the characteristics and personality traits of successful people, whom the author calls “super-achievers.” He also covers methods for coping with the emotions generated by the dark side of sales – rejection, frustration, helplessness and anger. getAbstract recommends this book to salespeople and managers, and to anyone who wants to take a peek at other people’s inner workings.

Take-Aways

  • A positive, upbeat attitude is the best sales tool you can possess.
  • Superachievers work a bit harder and improve a bit more than other people.
  • Finding balance and managing rejection are essential skills for salespeople.
