Cheating Death: From Salesperson to Sales Practitioner
Robert Herbst · 2025
🎙 Narrated by Robert Herbst (author-narrated)
58/100
👎 Skip It
Robert Herbst has three-plus decades of B2B sales experience behind this 'sales practitioner' reframe, and the problem-solving-over-pitching philosophy is sound on its face. But this is a brand-new 2025 release whose praise so far comes mostly from the publisher's own promotional material rather than independent critics, so it's worth waiting on; Herbst narrates it himself, though nothing on record describes how that read actually comes across.
