5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for sales people who are serious about success., March 11, 2008

By	Paul Flood "www.paulfloodmarketing.com" (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Paul McCord has done it again with Super Star Selling. While there are many excellent sales books and guides on the market, many of them are about strategies and techniques that help improve the likelihood of closing the sale. The majority of them ignore the personality and psychology of the sales person and tend to say "Do what I say and you will succeed in sales." Not too many actually make you ask "Am I cut out for this profession?"

Paul McCord has taken a dramatically different approach that requires the reader to perform a detailed analysis of their personality and activities over the past year. They can use the results to determine if they are in the right industry or if they should even be in sales. Paul's exercises aren't just about crunching numbers to see if you are making enough calls. Rather, they are part of a strategic selling mindset and system used to improve your selling results.

This is not a book that you are going to read and set it on your library shelf. You will find yourself using it to analyze your activities and to create a long term plan and strategy for success in sales, either with your current company or in an entirely different industry.

He also goes beyond traditional sales training by teaching us how to successfully market ourselves and our products or services and he also presents a wealth of both online and off-line resources to help us learn the marketing function. So many sales reps have said to me "I would be really great in sales if only I could get in front of more prospects." Well, the new reality, also taught by Frank Rumbauskas in Cold Calling is a Waste of Time is that if you are in sales, you need to become a marketer because the reality is that it is the rare business that has clients beating on the door to buy from us!

Paul McCord writes to us in a a style that is very personal and easy to understand language and flows nicely from chapter to chapter. He shares with us a lot of practical real world experience from both selling his own services as well as examples from his clients and those of other sales experts.

Attention sales professionals!!! There is a new sales book on the market that is a must-have in your library. It is called Super Star Selling by Paul McCord. Buy it, read it and apply what you've learned and you will see your income go up!
