5 out of 5 stars Good overview for beginners.......2007-04-10

This is the first book I have read that provides a good foundation for salesman who are beginners.

5 out of 5 stars Develop an unfair advantage & truly differentiate your offering.......2006-09-14

Tremendous foundation of how to change the fundamentals, rules of engagement, the game and give yourself a wonderfully unfair advantage in business development that involves complex sales. Excellent read prior to reading Jeff Thull's other two (excellent) books, The Prime Process and Exceptional Selling, which get into more detailed tactics and how-to's. Consultative selling is not a way to differentiate yourself and your offering any longer. Most salespeople now use that approach. As Thull puts it, to truly differentiate yourself, you've got to be a diagnostic business developer. This book book will teach you if you how if you choose to implement the fundamentals of the Prime Process described. He makes the point that spectacular results always begin with unspectacular (unglamorous) preparation.

4 out of 5 stars not much meat .......2006-09-13

I like thull and his perspective on sales and selling. But I was disapointed to find that there are too few examples of dialogues and samples about how conversations should go. paging thru his other book exceptional selling seem to have the meat I am looking for as an IT solution provider

it also echos what is in "top IT consultant"

5 out of 5 stars Looking at things differently.......2006-02-16

This book is a great guide to help you view the sale through the customer's eyes. It has helped me think about the other side, rather than always thinking of what I need out of the deal. It has helped my sales considerably.
