Summary: Same Game New Rules
Review: From the very first time I picked up the book, it amazes me, how many of the points the author makes, that I was unintentionally guilty of actually commiting.

Initially, I was apprehensive to even speak to a suspect, prospect, or an existing client, until I finished reading the book at least once. I was fearful that if I had not, I may say or do something that would prove fatal to yet another sales call.

In all the years of education, self help books, seminars, and motivational speakers, I have finally found an author who hit the mark for me. Thanks Bill.

Summary: Paradiagm Shift
Review: I have read sales and motivational books, listened to 'success' tapes, and taken sales training courses before and they were all the same. They all dealt with techniques and tricks to use on a prospect. The insights in this book deal with the sales professionals "Inner Game," a psychological restructuring of how to see and approach the marketplace. I have a whole new mindset and philosophy as a sales professional after reading this book. The insights are quite simple yet strong. I found myself physically shaking my head yes to numerous passages. I would recommend this book to any sales professional, period.

Summary: Account management for results
Review: Many of the sales 'How to' books on the market are formula based and would like you to think selling was simply a matter of memorizing the right phrases and smiling at the right times. I found Mr. Cakey's book, Same Game, New Rules to be refreshing and from my experience exactly on target for developing the right thought processes for account management in today's fast paced and competitive marketplace. This isn't a book on just making a sale. It's about doing the right things for both your company and your customer. This means profit for your business (not just low margin sales revenue) and a customer that recognizes the 'value proposition' your organization brings over your competition. Logically organized and well written.
