In my 35+ years in sales, so many sales effectiveness fads have come and gone. Ignore the fads and read this book; Neil nails it. Service, relationships, research, and reading the room are the cornerstones of sales success. I've read dozens and dozens of books on sales. This one's a gem. Highly recommended!
