Go-Givers Sell More

"The Go-Giver" took the business world by storm with its message that giving is the simplest, most fulfilling, and most effective path to success. It has inspired hundreds of thousands of readers around the world-but some have wondered how the story's lessons stand up to the tough challenges of everyday, real-world business.

Bob Burg and John David Mann answer that question in "Go-Givers Sell More," a practical guide that turns giving into the cornerstone of a powerful and effective approach to selling.

Most of us think of sales as a struggle to make people do something they don't really want to do. 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 than ever.

It's far more effective (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.

Drawing on a wide range of real-life examples of salespeople who have prospered by giving more, Burg and Mann offer tips and strategies that anyone in sales can start applying right away.
