EDITORIAL REVIEW

The phone is the most important tool most sales professionals will ever use, especially now that companies are cutting back travel budgets and other sales-related expenses. But few sales professionals have ever had any real training in how to sell over the phone; at most they are given a script and some talking points. Effective phone selling means tailoring the approach to each individual customer, and Selling to Anyone Over the Phone shows how to do it much better. This priceless tool will help salespeople: * build rapport * identify and adapt to personality types * generate excitement about a business or product * listen for information that will lead to a sale * control voice inflection and tone * consistently close more deals over the phone Customers are busier than ever and are being more and more selective in their purchases and business relationships. In a clear, reader-friendly tone, Selling to Anyone Over the Phone shows sellers how to develop truly exceptional phone skills and close more sales faster.

Secret to Inside Sales Success
~ Written on Jun 18, 2009. out of users found this review helpful.

If you are in an inside sales role, this book is a MUST READ! I have people calling me back, setting appointments and have experienced a 100% increase in people coming to our tradeshow booth from my phone calls and the techniques I learned from reading this book. If you follow their easy to understand steps, you are sure to be a success! When other sales professionals are telling you that no one will call them back...you can rest assured they haven't read this book and that you are going to win that business instead of them!

For beginning beginners who are just starting only.

I am UNIMPRESSED by this book. The first fifty pages read like a Junior High School essay - the book seem to be trying to convince the reader that it contains valuable knowlege, which it then fails to deliver. There are some good ideas in there, but you have to mine through trite platitudes and shamefully plain observations to get to them. I don't recommend this one unless you are an absolute beginner in phone sales - or rather, a beginner in talking on the phone.

Excellent sales book which goes well beyond the basics of phone selling

This book serves as a great sales basics book for newer sales people, however, there are many valuable messages for all sales people regardless of experience.

The most valuable section of the book, in my opinion, is chapter 8; Asking High-Value Questions.

Phone selling can never be a personal as is in-person field sales so it is even more important to ask valuable and insightful question towards understanding the customer's needs, and building a valuable relationship.

The simple recommended question in the book: "Tell me about your situation" is a very powerful way to get into the head of the customer. I had never used this phrase before but intend on doing so regularly in the future.

Practical and Enjoyable Way to Learn How to Sell Over the Phone
~ Written on Nov 25, 2008. 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.

As an educational sales rep, my company, Pearson, purchased a copy of this book for the inside sales team, and we worked through each chapter, week by week. Each week, a new team would present the concepts to the rest of the group, and we enjoyed this interactive way of learning. We had fun analyzing our personality types, and even guessing other people in the company. Then, we went back to the phones to see if we could implement these new concepts. Each chapter has a practical exercise and activity so we can actually implement the new concepts to experience results. I recommend this book for summer workshops to help sales teams improve their selling skills over the phone.
