Detailed Explanation with Focus on SaaS

Garin does really well in his detailed explanation. The book reads like the book is part of the sales cycle for his own business products and that is not a bad thing.

Because the point is to have the buyer's sell themselves while the vendor makes the process ever easier. I took away many notes for a book that did not directly target me. Overall a good guide for anyone around sales that will show the process flipped on it's head.

The book provides an interesting perspective of sales from a buyer point of view. That is the angle sales neglect by trying to push the deal forward. Same was with me when I used to work in sales. You will find good tips on how to make sales more efficient and also automated demos which seem to be an interesting solution.
