Sell Now! Adaptive Strategies for Today’s Marketplace.Stacia Skinner.
Sell Now! Adaptive Strategies for Today’s Marketplace.Stacia Skinner. 2011. ISBN 1440533792. This is a free Kindle book available from Amazon. I liked it. It covers the basics for sales efficiency as well as giving young and old reps something to work with. This is a quick but very useful read. The content gives a good analysis of a sales cycle and why sales conditions change over time. I liked that this book stresses the basics of sales people being proactive and self motivating.
