Why you should read The Career Salesperson

Some business professionals say selling is a young person’s game, but not Stephan Schiffman. He offers excellent advice to older salespeople who want to retain their competitive edge. Over three decades, Schiffman personally trained hundreds of thousands of salespeople, so he brings great expertise to the subject. Some readers may find his periodic reminders to buy his books and sign up for his training courses a smidge pushy. However, his guidance is useful and getAbstract recommends this book to longtime sales professionals who want to re-energize their approach to serving their employers and marketing themselves.
