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.
