Stop Killing Deals. How to avoid deadly assumptions and achieve sales excellence. George Bronten.

Stop Killing Deals. How to avoid deadly assumptions and achieve sales excellence. George Bronten. 2020.

The author has really hit to the core of much that causes sales initiatives to fail.  I agree with his three false assumptions:
Salespeople are born, not made..
Salespeople are disciplined..
Buyers and sellers are logical.

From these is built a solid argument on how to make things better.  A rigorous and proven sales process model with resources, better coaching from sales management and getting away from a reliance on CRM systems that have false assumptions.

The author also provides a plethora of useful tools to help an organization transition to to better way.  Along the way you learn a little bit about his product Membrain.   Its all good. I recommend this book.
