The absolute best selling system in existence.

Every other "modern " selling approach has components of what David designed (in the late 60's/early 70's) in this system. If you're going to adopt and own a selling strategy/set of tools, might as well get your concepts, ideas, etc. directly from the source. Sandler is the way.

Excellent book

Learned a lot! Made a lot of sense! Now I know why I have been unsuccessful in selling!

The clarity is real.

This book is one of, if not the best sales book I have read. It teaches you how to take all the pressure off of you, and on to the suspect. Read more than once to clear up all of your "mind trash" that you you've accumulated over the years.

The Ultimate Sales Psychology System

This book begins with the Psychology of sales from both the prospect's perspective and the salesman's. It demonstrates what used to be effective in traditional sales systems and why it's now antiquated. Rooted in transactional analysis, we're introduced to a sales system that begins with building self esteem and ends with the complete anatomy of a successful sales system.
