Saleskills: Everything You Need to Learn About Selling

Rating:
Summary: Insightful, entertaining and dowright useful!
Review: Mr. Lux takes the role of a wanna-be salesperson and transforms them into a cutting edge, not to be reckoned with hitter! His tone is brusque but why sugar coat what works? I bought a copy for each of my sales staff and made it mandatory reading. For my new hires it is a required manual for learning sales technique!

Summary: It works!
Review: SalesKills is a terrific primer for anyone in sales; and after reading this, I realized...we're all in sales in one form or another.

Without fluff, Steve Lux leads the reader through all the classic and lesser known sales techniques. His writing style is raw, but very digestible, and extremely useful. I'm sure any decent salesman will dramatically increase the deals they close after reading this book. Don't be put off by the skull and cross bones book cover and claims of being not politically correct. This book is powerful stuff made clear with concrete examples.

This text is destined to be a classic. I bought four copies for friends, and enthusiastically recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Aptly named book
Review: SalesKills is well named. I purchased it along with a few other sales techniques books, hoping to learn techniques to polish my selling/communicating ability. Instead I read about high pressure, hard line sales techniques, all written in a tone that gave me the impression the author thought little of the client and would be willing to go to any lengths to make a sale.
There is better sales material out there.
