Why you should read GenderSell

Judith C. Tingley, Ph.D., and Lee E. Robert tell you why men are super-salespeople on Mars but idiots on Venus. This challenging and important topic - selling to the opposite gender - is, in itself, a pretty tough sell. The danger is that it inherently involves working with gender generalities and variabilities, and we have all been properly conditioned against that. The authors are a couple of experienced veterans who sometimes seem to lapse into stereotypes. Anyone who has been in the sales trenches would have to agree they are on to something, however, particularly when their advice is specific. In fact, many of the common-sense pointers presented in these pages would be applicable in relationships both professional and personal. As such, getAbstract.com recommends this book to anyone who wants to improve his or her rapport with the opposite sex - for business or otherwise.
