Value-based guidance on selling to senior executives
If you are in sales, getAbstract thinks you’ll like this book by Nicholas A.C. Read and Stephen J. Bistritz, who offer solid advice on how to sell to senior-level executives.

One of the few sales books to be based on that rare blend of actual research into what works today, and the authors' experience of having led actual sales teams so the theory is tempered by street smarts. Read (joined by Bistritz in this book) has delivered a masterwork that is easily accessible, entertaining and pragmatic. As last generation's sales guru Neil Rackham put it: "this book is worth its weight in commission checks".

So far so good. I am a chapter in and it's obvious that this is another "sales system". It's a methodically researched piece that provides case based examples of how one should approach selling to larger organizations.

Very practical, fact based approach to defining what works in building a trusted advisor relationship with C-suite persons. Usable in both a selling and operational role, when building trust with a senior executive.
Easy read but packed with great ideas and concepts.
Very helpful ideas for preparing for executive conversations.
Great book-highly recommend for anyone involved in complex selling. Lots a good ideas and will be used as a reference. I found the templates very useful.
To sell to a corporation's chief executive officer, chief operating officer and chief information officer is an art form I need to learn about.

“With the average tenure of sales directors being three years, it’s not too great a stretch to conclude that they spend their first 12 months finding out what’s broken, the next 12 months papering over the cracks, and the final 12 months shopping their CV for a new job.”
