Counter-intuitive is accurate… This book fills a missing gap.,
As a seasoned sales, sales management and sales training leader who has spent 18+ years helping companies improve sales performance, I’ve read literally hundreds of books on sales over the years… some absolutely great; many absolutely worthless; most just floating in the mundane middle.
In comparison to most, I found this book refreshing and insightful. Admittedly, maybe it’s because, like Concevitch, I’ve spent time leading both sales teams and training teams, and tend to focus on creating lasting behavior change (it’s the only way to tap into the huge potential of the 70% of sales performers in the middle… who are neither the top 20%, nor the bottom 10%). But that is a big focus of the book – so it’s had to ignore – and frankly, it’s right on target and much needed in most of the sales forces I’ve observed. If you want to create some lasting, positive change in your sales force, there are some good tips here.
As a training pro, it’s also hard to ignore the mnemonic acronyms, like G.U.I.D.O., N.E.R.D., H.E.R.B and H.A.N.K. – all part of the Decision-Maker Rater system. Okay, perhaps they foster a slight wry grin, but in doing that, they also stick in your memory. More importantly, the concepts make sense… a sort of account development primer for how to identify the decision roles within accounts and navigate appropriately.
Those who enjoy the story-telling style made popular by other business authors in recent years will also easily follow the sales rep, Ken, through his journey learning from his sales mentor, Frank. Somewhat subliminally, this also underscores the critical element of coaching and mentoring – also missing elements in some of the sales forces with which I’ve worked or consulted.
Now, having said all that, you won’t find sales training basics here. It’s not a treatise on basic selling skills, territory management strategies, or pipeline/opportunity management. If you need those basics, there are other places to learn them. But if you’re seeking to break out of the mold, think solidly about account development, and change some behaviors to increase your major-account (maybe “tough” account) selling prowess, you’ll pick up some food for thought and actionable ideas here.
