The Sales Advantage: How to Get It, Keep It, and Sell More Than Ever

by Dale Carnegie (Author), Dale Carnegie (Author), J. Oliver Crom (Author), Michael A. Crom (Author)

Synopsis

The two questions most often asked by salespeople are: 'how can I close more sales?' and 'what can I do to reduce objections?' The answer to both questions is the same: you learn to sell from a buyer's point of view. Global markets, increased technology, information overload, corporate mergers and complex products and services have combined to make the buying/selling process more complicated then ever. Salespeople must understand and balance these factors to survive amidst a broad spectrum of competition. THE SALES ADVANTAGE will enable any salesperson to develop long-term customer relationships and help make those customers more successful, a key competitive advantage. The book includes specific advice for each of the eleven-stage selling process, set out in clear easy-to-understand prose with numerous case studies. THE SALES ADVANTAGE is a proven, logical, step-by-step guide that will create mutually beneficial results for salespeople and customers alike.

Media Reviews
John W. Thiel Managing Director, Merrill Lynch While knowledge is fundamental, what highlights the professional salesperson is the skill and attitude he displays. The Sales Advantage creates a playbook to develop these skills and attitudes and to perfect the sales process from the critical perspective -- namely the client's. The Dale Carnegie Human Relations Principles, along with years of field experience, inspired this must-read for the sales professional.
Gerhard Gschwandtner Founder and Publisher, Selling Power Magazine: Solutions for Sales Management The Sales Advantage follows the blueprint for writing books that made Dale Carnegie a worldwide bestselling author. There isn't a single idea in the book that hasn't been field-tested with a real customer and classroom-tested by a Dale Carnegie instructor. The result is a book packed with brilliant sales gems destined to enrich every reader and delight their customers.
Jason Gonella Vice President of Sales, Premium Services for the Philadelphia Eagles The Sales Advantage increased our sales and made our sales people more effective and productive. It's a great system that really worked for us.
Brad Houge John Deere Company, North American Training Shortly after training our people with the Dale Carnegie Sales Advantage approach, one of our dealers had a big success at their open house. They sold four times more product than at previous similar events. The objective of The Sales Advantage is to strengthen the performance and behavior of salespeople. We saw it happen. John Deere Company uses the Sales Advantage program to improve both our sales staff's performance and the bottom line for our clients and us. The concepts provide a repeatable and proven sales process that helps salespeople to sell from a buyer's point of view. Once the concepts were implemented we saw a positive behavioral change in our salespeople and in their results.
