The behaviour of sales people and the added personal connection that they can offer is often a rich and overlooked source of differentiation. Smarter Selling focuses on developing attitudes and skills that drive differentiated sales behaviours in order to drive sales success.
The accessible, practical and thoroughly tested sales strategies contained in this book will help readers to build trust with their buyer; to understand what they need and want, and to give it to them in a way that is helping them rather than selling to them.
The strategies are presented as a series of easy-to-learn tools that will help readers drive their sales relationships towards sustainable, trusted partnerships.
This new edition will be completely updated throughout and includes insights on how the global economic crisis has impacted what buyers are looking for, how sales organisations are now changing their entire business models in order to be more relationship oriented and how leading organisations have adopted these methodologies such as Adidas, Morgan Stanley, KPMG, PwC, GHD etc.

About the Authors
X.J. Kennedy, after graduation from Seton Hall and Columbia, became a journalist second class in the Navy ("Actually, I was pretty eighth class"). His poems, some published in the New Yorker, were first collected in Nude Descending a Staircase (1961). Since then he has written five more collections, several widely adopted literature and writing textbooks, and seventeen books for children, including two novels. He has taught at Michigan, North Carolina (Greensboro), California (Irvine), Wellesley, Tufts, and Leeds. Cited in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations and reprinted in some 200 anthologies, his verse has brought him a Guggenheim fellowship, a Lamont Award, a Los Angeles Times Book Prize, an award from the American Academy for Poetry for Children from the National Council of Teachers of English. He now lives in Lexington, Massachusetts, where he and his wife Dorothy have collaborated on four books and five children.
Dana Gioia is a poet, critic, and teacher. Born in Los Angeles, he attended Stanford and Harvard before taking a detour into business. ("Not many poets have a Stanford M.B.A., thank goodness!")
