About the book:

Insight Selling describes how the authors studied over 700 business-to-business purchases and identified how sales winners sell radically differently from those that lose the sale. They call these sellers, insight sellers, and introduce a simple three-level sales model, based on what buyers say make sales winners. It teaches how to connect, convince and collaborate with buyers in order to inspire them, influence their agendas, and maximize value. It is both a strategic and practical guide that shows how much of current sales advice is bad for sales results.

Key features:

  1. Describes the results from the author’s research on what sales winners do differently.
  2. Provides a three-level model of ‘insight’ selling to connect, convince and collaborate with buyers.
  3. Explains how the current approaches taken by sellers can actually damage sales results.
