1.0 out of 5 stars Ok nothing that new really, very small amount of information

This review is from: How to Beat the 80/20 Rule in Selling: Why Most Salespeople Don't Perform and What to Do About It (Paperback)
This book was written for three different audiences: those considering a sales job, managers without a sales background, and those who wonder why their sales force is in the 80/20 category. Rigg enumerates reasons why salespeople perform at different rates and what personnel attributes contribute to sales success. He then defines the various relationship preferences and selling styles, and debunks common sales recruiting myths. Next he describes how to develop prospecting plans and how to close sales more effectively. The remainder of the book is focused more on sales management: forecasting and pipeline management; assigning sales territories; creating effective compensation plans; effective training programs; and evaluating incentives.

A quick and easy read, yet substantive and informative. Recommended reading for all types of sales managers including those in the direct selling businesses.
