Author: Neil Rackham

“If you are in the business of larger dollar amount sales (i.e. not hawking cell phones at the local Verizon shop, but are in the business of solutions selling), these are the only two sales books you will ever need: Spin Selling & Spin Selling Fieldbook”

3. Challenger Sale

Author: Matthew Dixon and Brent Adamson

Based on an exhaustive study of thousands of sales reps across multiple industries and geographies, The Challenger Sale argues that classic relationship building is a losing approach, especially when it comes to selling complex, large-scale business-to-business solutions.

The authors’ study found that every sales rep in the world falls into one of five distinct profiles, and while all of these types of reps can deliver average sales performance, only one—the Challenger—delivers consistently high performance.

“I’ve read the Challenger Sale after it was given to me at a conference. Certainly a contrarian view to sales that is very very important to understand. Highly recommend it.”
