Sales managers have the most difficult job in the business
world. They are responsible not just for revenue, but also for the
hiring, coaching, training, and deployment of the employees who
must generate it.
Before the advancements that inspired Scientific Selling,
sales managers had few tools to help them succeed at these
disparate yet essential tasks. Today, however, the scientific
approaches described in this book allow sales managers to more
effectively measure, refine, and improve every aspect of the sales
environment.
Using easily-understood examples, graphics, charts, and
explanations, Scientific Selling describes how to:
* Predictably improve sales results.
* Attract and retain top sales performers.
* Sharply decrease employee turnover.
* Spend sales training dollars more wisely.
* Better target sales coaching efforts.
* Move into consultative selling more quickly.
* And much more.
Scientific Selling features over a dozen case studies
illustrating exactly how scientific measurement and testing have
improved sales performance within different kinds of sales groups
inside multiple industries.
