Scientific Selling: Creating High Performance Sales Teams through Applied Psychology and Testing
Products don't sell themselves. Engineers, marketers, and CEOs don't sell products either. But a skilled sales team does. And when equipped with effective measurement tools to assemble and train a specialized team, a sales force can score huge wins consistently—and present that success to the rest of the company.Scientific Selling shows how statistically valid measurement can improve every element of the sales environment—from management to coaching to training to creating long-term sustainable sales results. Sales organizations that embrace applied psychology and testing become more competitive because they don't waste resources on irrelevant or counterproductive activities. Managers can better assess the reasons behind individual and group performance and predictably improve sales results, while fostering a sales culture that attracts and retains personnel who have the drive and motivation to be successful.Scientific Selling includes more than a dozen specific stories demonstrating how scientific measurement improved overall sales performance through easily understood graphics, charts, and descriptions.
