Recommendation

Few salespeople can rely on pure instinct to sell successfully. Those few who become sales millionaires without working to improve their skills were probably sustained by a doting aunt in the first place. But, those who look on sales as a business that can be learned and must be practiced and refined are the ones who usually become sales millionaires. Donald Moine and Ken Lloyd preach what they practice. Both men have earned a significant living selling themselves and selling what they learned in the process. Although they have never sold a car or a bungalow, their analysis of the salesperson's dilemma is specific and accurate. Their techniques for motivating sales excellence will ring true to everyone who ever faced a sales objection and drew a blank. Their suggestions for improving your sales potential are exact and practical. getAbstract.com recommends this book to sales professionals, sales managers and sales trainers.

Car salespeople have a saying, "behind the wheel, you got the deal." Seventy percent of the people who visit a dealership two times buy a car, especially if they take a test drive. Like every other product (and sales professionals are products, too), BMW needed a very strong "Unique Selling Proposition" (USP) to anchor its sales strategy. Like the best USPs, this one needed to overcome objections and direct potential buyers to the point of sale. BMW decided to call its car, "The ultimate driving machine." How many other auto USPs can you recall? How good are they?
