Superb Book For Anyone in Sales!!!

Pink has written what I believe to be one of the best books ever on how to excel in sales. While he writes from a clearly Christian perspective, anyone with any sense of moral values will benefit from the book. Pink's writing style is concise, clear, and lacks the "preachy" content of some of the Chrisian books I have read. Indeed, he writes with humility and freely shares the failures he has learned from. Among the points covered in the book include: 1. Preparation is key for preparing a territory strategy. 2. 4 rules of building rapport with your customers. 3. Excellent notes on giving respect to your customers. 4. 5 ways to build trust and 7 ways to build a climate of trust with your customers. 5. Tips on asking good questions and listening to your customers. 6. 8 kinds of questions to ask to uncover a customer's pain and addressing their pain. 7. How to address objections. 8. 31 ways to successfully negotiate win-win situations. 9. Using Noah and the Ark as a means of living strategically. 10. 9 ways to boost your self-confidence and using words wisely. Pink does his part to try to restore credibility and honor to a profession that unfortunately has somewhat of a negative image (and some of it is deserved!). And yes, a Christian can be successful in sales without compromising his or her relationship with Jesus Christ! Read the book for practical strategies and also biblical insights into the selling profession. Highly recommended. Read and enjoy!

Powerful!!!

This is the book that helps me put my newfound career in sales in proper perspective, His Perspective. I am by profession an early childhood teacher who is now also a consultant for a cosmetic co. I just could not figure out how sales which is generally looked unfavorably on by my family could be as honorable as teaching. Used to getting a paycheck for services from my employer, I was so uncomfortable handling money directly from the consumer. Also with a negative view and understanding of the profession as a whole, I also couldn't see sales fitting into Our Father's Plans for my life, His Kingdom and for His Good in world.( Now I have the potential to give more $$$ to charities and missionaries for His Purposes than I ever could on $16,000 a year). Pink's writing style is so down-to earth and non-preachy that if you are christian or not it shouldn't matter.If you want to be a salesperson from a point of honor, character and intergrity this book will guide you.

Selling amoung wolves without joining the pack

Where to start with this book i don't know I will say that i hate to read I am 18 years old and a High School student I have Commited my life to Christ but have not lived the most Christian life I am always Going to parties and having fun as a Kid would do But I am looking to get in to sales and will start school for my Real estate license in Feb. I read this book at work and it was great I read it once and liked it so much I went back and took notes on it I would realy recomend it to anyone who is looking for a career in sales and needs a place to start IT IS A REALLY GREAT BOOK!!!!

After reading the book, I had to meet the author.

It's provocative title and interesting cover pale by it's powerful content. I picked it off the stand in the airport and could not put it down during my flight. More than Christian principals in the sales profession, in "Selling Among Wolves...." we see Christ as a salesman, and honor and dignity returned to our profession. Michael Pink has created an outstanding work which should be read by all Christian businessmen seeking to synergize their faith with their work. I was so impressed with the book that I flew the author to my company to see if he was as genuine as his advice. He was! Read this book!

Finally!

There are a lot of good books on the topic of sales. Many of those have been written by people who operate from a Christian worldview, but this is the first time I've seen a business book about sales, that is not only written from a Christian worldview but it makes no attempt to hide or camoflauge its foundational principles. The principles outlined and strategies put forth are exceptional and work well. Excellent work!
