Most of us think of sales as convincing potential customers to believe or do something they don't really want to. 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. It's far more productive (and satisfying) when salespeople think like Go-Givers and focus exclusively on creating value for the customer.

Most of us think of sales as convincing potential customers to believe or do something they don't really want to. 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. It's far more productive (and satisfying) when salespeople think like Go-Givers and focus exclusively on creating value for the customer.

Listen to this book!
Every chapter has a relevant lesson. Chapter 4 on public speaking is a must-read. I read and listened to the book, and preferred the audible version. LB’s voice, personality, sensitivity, and humor breathe life into the book. The Irreverent Guide to Spectacular Communication will touch your heart, engage your intellect, and make you laugh out loud.
I highly recommend this work of art.
