Publisher's summary

Here is a book that applies the lessons of the best-selling parable The Go-Giver to real-world situations.

The Go-Giver took the business world by storm with its message that giving is the most fulfilling and most effective path to success. It has inspired more than 125,000 readers and listeners—but some have wondered how the story's lessons stand up to the tough challenges of everyday, real-world business. Now Bob Burg and John David Mann answer that question in Go-Givers Sell More, a practical guide that makes giving the cornerstone of a powerful and effective approach to selling.

Most of us think of sales as convincing potential customers to believe or do something they don't really want to. But that cutthroat mentality makes the process much harder than it has to be—especially in an economic downturn, when customers are more suspicious and defensive. It's far more productive (and satisfying) when salespeople think like Go-Givers and focus exclusively on creating value for the customer. Cultivate a trusting relationship and provide outstanding service, say the authors, and great results will follow automatically. Illustrating their points with a wide range of real-life examples, Burg and Mann offer tips and strategies that anyone in sales can start applying right away.

Great follow-up to Go Giver

You'd definitely need to read or listen to the first book, "Go Giver" first. Overall, I am familiar with the concept and very grateful there's books relating to my intuitive sales style.

I have 10 years in sales and my last boss and I used to butt heads at times. He used to get a bit bothered that I didn't know my stats better. I used to tell him I learned the stats when we had our weekly meetings and he would tell the team our individual and collective stats.

I also told him my focus was on serving my clients, giving them my focus, time, attention, helping them solve problems, and having friendships with them. I said that I don't need to focus on the numbers, because I trust the sales will follow.

Being a young female in a male dominant industry, it took time to prove myself and build trust. But once it happened, it happened! I led the company in sales a number of years, only coming in second to the New York rep at times.

I recommend you read the 3 books in the series, even if you are a successful salesperson. There are universal laws at work, whether or not you're aware of them. It is best to work with these laws to truly prosper at anything you set your mind to doing. Sales is merely an example for this book, but they apply to all things you desire to succeed in doing.

A good compliment

Selling is like Farming

Cultivate the soil then plant Trust Harvest! Selling is about helping others make decisions they want to make not getting them to do what you want.
