Red= Can't find maybe you can?


1) "The Challenger Sale: Taking Control of the Customer Conversation" by Matthew Dixon and Brent Adamson
According to a study of thousands of sales reps across multiple industries and geographies, the most successful put their energy toward delivering valuable insights -- not becoming their prospect’s friend. Join the ranks of the top performers with Adamson and Dixon’s signature Teach, Tailor, and Take Control methodology.

Review excerpt: “This is an excellent book, with provocative insights and useful information for salespeople looking for ways to break out of the pack.”


2) "The Challenger Customer: Selling to the Hidden Influencer Who Can Multiply Your Results" by Brent Adamson, Matthew Dixon, Pat Spenner, and Nick Toman
CEB’s latest research reveals even Challenger salespeople struggle to close without the help of a very specific type of customer stakeholder: The Mobilizer. In this book, you’ll learn how to identify Mobilizers, engage them, and work with them to get deals over the finish line.

Review excerpt: “What a great follow-up to the Challenger Sale. (It) provided me with additional insight on how to approach selling to a group of stakeholders. It has real data, real studies and real tactical strategies. If you're in the B2B space, this book is a must!”


3) "New Sales. Simplified.: The Essential Handbook for Prospecting and New Business Development" by Mike Weinberg
Looking for a one-stop guide to bringing on new business? Look no further. In this book, Weinberg lays out a proven formula for finding prospects, developing the relationship, and reaching a mutually beneficial agreement.

Review excerpt: “I loved the stories, the irreverent tone, and the honesty of this book. But what I appreciated most was that it delivered on its title -- this book really does simplify what you have to do successfully acquire new customers.”


4) "The Psychology of Selling: Increase Your Sales Faster and Easier Than You Ever Thought Possible" by Brian Tracy
Learn how to harness psychological principles in the sales process while simultaneously getting a dose of personal motivation.

Review excerpt: “‘The Psychology of Selling’ is a superb, practical, easy-to-read return to the fundamentals of professional salesmanship for novices, journeymen, and seasoned, top-performing salespeople. More than common sense placed into form, it serves as an instructional blueprint -- or as a road map -- to establish, build, grow, and maintain a successful sales career.”


5) "The Science of Selling: Proven Strategies to Make Your Pitch, Influence Decisions, and Close the Deal" by David Hoffeld
Hoffeld’s advice is based on the latest research in behavioral economics, social psychology, and neuroscience. You’ll learn a science-based approach to asking questions, securing incremental commitments, resolving objections, reducing your competition’s influence, and more.

Review excerpt: “‘The Science of Selling’ is the ultimate collection of evidence-based practices for sales ever collected in one volume. Until now, most of the studies in ‘The Science of Selling’ have been scattered and tucked away in academic journals, (making them) virtually inaccessible to sales leaders. Most readers will find the material new, and I expect, quite surprising.”

6) "The Sales Acceleration Formula: Using Data, Technology, and Inbound Selling to go from $0 to $100 Million" by Mark Roberge
Sales leaders aiming to scale their sales team and build a multi-million dollar business should definitely pick up this book, written by former HubSpot CRO Mark Roberge.

Review excerpt: “Every company -- regardless of its business and sales strategy -- will absolutely benefit from reading this book. The stories (Roberge) tells, the way his selling initiatives fit together, the combination of selling and technology he describes … even the use cases he lists make the approach he describes applicable to any sales organization -- however well-entrenched.”



7) "Influence: Science and Practice" by Robert B. Cialdini
Cialdini reveals the six psychological principles that cause people to comply. Once you’ve incorporated these powerful concepts into your messaging, leading your prospects to say “yes” will be less challenging.

Review excerpt: “Whether you are on the selling or buying end of any transaction, knowing what Mr Cialdini discovered through years of research and testing will be to your financial advantage. (But) 'Influence' is not just about money. It is a guide to getting what you want or need in a fair and ethical manner.”



8) "To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Moving Others" by Daniel H. Pink
If you’re currently working in sales, you’re probably well-aware the old playbook doesn’t work. Pink offers fresh yet practical insights to modern selling, including how to move others, make your message clearer and more persuasive, and gain referrals.

Review excerpt: “No, this is not 'another' book about selling. I've read a lot of them, written a few of them, and I can tell you: This book stands alone in a special category.”



9) "Secrets of Closing the Sale" by Zig Ziglar
This book includes more than 100 different ways to close depending on the situation and 700 thought-provoking questions to use with prospects. You’ll also find suggestions from a hundred of America’s most successful salespeople.

Review excerpt: “An excellent and enjoyable read. Michael Port lays out a fresh and honest approach to marketing yourself and your business. 'Be true to yourself' and the people you serve. This takes the pressure off of trying to contrive an image of someone (or something) that is really not you, and makes self-promotion almost natural!”

If you’re not generating warm introductions to potential customers, you’re losing out on a valuable source of business. Discover the concrete steps that will win you referrals. Although “7L” is geared toward real estate professionals, its takeaways are applicable to any sales role.
