Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Creative Selling
A. J. Faria · 1992
42/100
👎 Skip It
A college sales textbook from 1992 covering cold calling and territory management has little to offer in an era of CRM platforms, social selling, and digital pipelines. The foundational structure is solid for its time, but there is no updated edition and the content is simply too dated to recommend to anyone not researching the history of sales methodology.
