10 Sales Tips From The Quintessential Salesperson

Is it possible to learn salesmanship from a guy who admits he’s never been a salesman?

Maybe so, after all!

In this hilarious collection of anecdotes, author James Howard relates his experiences as a business customer who was called on by sales people almost every day.

In his words, “Some were professional and knowledgeable, some were decent and could’ve used some improvement, and some were utterly hopeless!”

But some of the sales people who called on him obtained the honor of being called a “Quintessential Salesperson.” Their observations and sagely advice when discussing the foibles presented are the real treasure of this little book.

James says, “I just lived each encounter, described it, and let the Quintessential Salesperson do the teaching.”

Here are some of the cases you’ll read, and the tips that go with them –

Case #1 – Salesperson who promises to bring lunch…and doesn’t.

Case #4 – Salesperson who fails to provide a quote.

Case #9 – Salesperson who makes outrageous claims.

Case #15 – Salesperson hamstrung by lousy inside sales people.

There are 18 cases in all, and James strenuously maintains that all of the incredible foibles related are 100% true!

So, come get a perspective from the other side of the desk with 10 Sales Tips from the Quintessential Salesperson!

Now with 8 bonus cases and tips!
