<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>For those whose career as a salesperson chose them instead of the other way around, this road map provides the critical information you need to master the essentials and hit the ground running.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Author Chris Lytle knows from firsthand experience that not all salespeople plan on a career in sales. Like him, sales may have chosen you--and you've suddenly found yourself in a profession you're not fully prepared for. In The Accidental Salesperson, the now-acclaimed leader in sales training offers advice and inspiration new salespeople might have missed when they skipped the career-planning stage--and provides the tools you need to fast-track your sales success. Filled with money-generating strategies, humorous yet instructive anecdotes, thought-provoking axioms, and powerful tools, this essential book includes guidance on selling to people who don't have time to meet, differentiating between information seekers and genuine prospects, using social media and other online tools, and building relationships competitors can't steal.Lively, entertaining, and mercifully free of the dull theories, manipulative methods, and high-pressure tactics of most sales books--the fully updated second edition of The Accidental Salesperson guides readers through every aspect of selling to customers in today's marketplace.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><i>The Accidental Salesperson</i>, 2ed -- paperback jacket copy </p> </p> <b>Advance Praise for<i> The Accidental Salesperson</i></b> </p> </p> "If you only read one book about sales this year, make <i>The Accidental Salesperson</i> your choice!" </p> </p> -- Jeff Sleete, Corporate Director of Marketing (Sales), Sinclair Broadcast Group </p> </p> "Anyone, not just sales professionals, can benefit from reading <i>The Accidental Salesperson</i>.

Patterson, Senior Vice President--Wealth Management, Financial Advisor </p> </p> Have you chosen a career in sales? Or has it chosen you? Never fear if you didn't plan on your sales role--the fact is, most people who sell got into sales "accidentally." A classic guide that shows you how to master the essentials and hit the ground running, <i>The Accidental Salesperson</i> provides a lively, entertaining boost of inspiration, giving you immediately usable, repeatable processes for: </p> </p> Generating leads and inquiries </p> </p> - Getting your first face-to-face meeting or telephone meeting with a prospect </p> </p> - Weeding out prospects from information seekers </p> </p> - Keeping the sale open long enough to get it closed </p> </p> - Writing and making proposals </p> </p> - Confirming the sale </p> </p> - Following up and growing the relationship </p> </p> Fully updated to account for the changes in the marketplace since the book's original publication, the second edition helps you contend with buyers who now have access to an unprecedented amount of information on the Internet; sell to committees rather than to a single decision maker; and use social media, Skype, GoToMeeting, WebEx, and other online tools. The book contains new features, such as The Proposal Producer, which helps you transform data into client-focused proposals, and a Platinum Service Checklist, enabling you to follow up each sale with a systematic series of "touches" designed to help you build relationships your competitors can't steal. </p> </p> Whether you're a young professional who's just discovered the best jobs are sales jobs or a veteran sales pro in need of a booster shot to take you to the next level, <i>The Accidental Salesperson</i> gives you the money-generating strategies you need to master every step of the selling process and sell successfully to today's customers. </p> </p> CHRIS LYTLE is the President of Sparque, Inc.
