The Psychology of Sales Success
Gerhard Gschwandtner · 2007
64/100
👎 Skip It
Gschwandtner's three-pillar framework — understanding success, understanding your customer, understanding yourself — is a clean way to organize the psychology of selling, and drawing on actual psychologists rather than anecdote alone gives it more credibility than most sales motivation titles. For experienced sales professionals, though, the brief SellingPower Library format leaves too little room to go deep on any of the dimensions it raises.
