- Improve your sales persons' performance
I bought this book for one of my Call Center sales and service agents. His customer service skills were excellent but he was reluctant to "sell people on something they don't need or can't afford." If they didn't ask about a product, he didn't tell them about it. If he didn't increase his sales quickly, I would be forced to let him go. After reading this book, the employee realized that telling customers about the benefits of our products was merely an extension of good customer service. He said he learned to "visualize the sale" before he answered each call. Immediately his sales increased and he has been one of my most consistent performers in the three months since he read the book. He has increased his potential income from $26,000 to about $43,000 annually due to meeting pay-for-performance ... Read More

- Sophomoric
This book was suggested to me by my office manager and I was underwhelmed! The sing-songy writing and "story-telling" impressed me as juvenile and sophomoric. The "tips" were nothing more than the basics of common courtesy and commitment to customer service that anyone who has experienced a good degree of success in their profession would have already mastered or they would not be successful in the first place. Perhaps if you were clueless it might be helpful, but it left me cold.

- Great book and easy to read
I loved the one minute manager and I love the one minute sales Person. Sound principles in less than a minute. In the book he includes the most important thing that sales reps forget is to sell yourself first.

- Light on content, but focuses on important basics
I think this is a worthwhile book for someone who is beginning a sales career or has an antagonist attitude toward the profession, but wants to change that maybe because they are starting a business, doing consulting, etc. It is particularly good for people who don't feel comfortable with the whole idea of selling, but realize it's an important skill and is even required in daily life e.g. to sell an idea, convince a child to do something in their best interests, etc.

I have read some reviews of this book that sound harsh; I think that some of them may be overstated. While this book is short, simple and a quick read, it does a very good job of driving the basics home in a way that represents the sales profession well and honors an ethical approach to business. While the ideas themselves ... Read More

- One minute stretches bit too hard
Compared with the monstrous success of "One Minute Manager", this sales version is kind of disappointed. The book still keeps the simple style to present main stages of sales with diagrams and big bold words. In each stage, it also tries its best to describe the process flow with necessary details.

However, I found it's kind of awkward to navigate in those diagrams for fast comprehension. Furthermore, the extended connection with goal setting, reward, and punishment weakens the emphasis of some key factors of sales: finding customer needs, telling a compelling story, and winning the trust.

Maybe salesmanship is the kind of art which is too hard to teach in a short book (just like the leadership). At this scenario, I would rather to read the big and great book for best descriptions ... Read More
