Book Brief.......2007-04-02

The book is formatted very well. It has helped me approach my child in a new manner with excellent results. Some of the tasks we take for granted are broken into smaller steps that can be overlooked. This book helps you identify missing steps and provides multiple methods of application. It isn't a "one size fits all" approach. It gives good ideas for praise and correction if consistently followed.

The page layouts are easy to read and the cartoons are cute. Everything addressed in this book has samples to serve as a guide for you. The appendices has more ideas for aiding with independence. Overall, the application of this book, used in a routine, is great for any age and any skill level.

No parent OR special education teacher should be without this book! Easy to read, and the content is excellent! Step-by-step approaches to teaching everyday skills to children with special needs, but would be just as valuable to ANY parent! After reading this book, I have found it easier to establish goals for my students and everyone is using the same approach to teaching everyday living skills (play, toileting, self-help, PLUS behavior management)! It is working fabulous! The students are learning more with less frustration! A must-have for your resource library!

This book is great.

Also explains the use of rewards for motivation etc.

Book Description

Harness the power of information to outsell the competition.

It has become a buyers' world. Salespeople are faced with a proliferation of competitors, commoditization of their products and services, reduced customer budgets, and more complex and longer customer buying cycles. In addition, the endless flow of information available to their prospects over the Internet make them far less dependent on the salesperson for solutions, even further limiting access to decision makers.

How do salespeople transform themselves into savvy professionals who can be counted on to continue to win business even under these tough, seemingly insurmountable conditions? Author and sales consultant Dave Stein has helped thousands of CEOs, VPs, sales managers, marketing directors, and sales teams navigate the most complex opportunities with precision and speed, even during challenging economic times.

In How Winners Sell, Stein shows readers how to plan strategically for scenarios when details are most important-so they never come up short in the eyes of a client. Readers will also discover how to:

* Develop new skills needed to thrive in today's hyper- competitive marketplace.

* Decide which sales opportunities are really worth pursuing.

* Identify what's important to top executives to gain and maintain access to them.

* Recruit and influence people within their accounts to sell on their behalf.

* Learn crucial information about the competition that will help win the big sale.

* Use information to increase the size of the opportunity, get prospects to close sooner, and spend fewer resources winning the big sale.

How Winners Sell gives salespeople what they need to position themselves with executive-level credibility, offer greater and more meaningful service to their clients, and know their competitor's next move-so they can move first!

Differentiate Yourself from Your Competitors.......2006-11-06

Have you been wondering why your competition continues to outsell you or you can't seem to hit your numbers consistently? Perhaps you're not researching your prospect well enough or positioning your product properly. The first step to fixing that is to completely understand your existing and potential customer base and realize it's all about how you can either make them money, reduce their expenses, or minimize risks. If you are "in it" for anything else, your chances at success are greatly diminished. By shifting your focus to conjoin the customer's, you'll have the foundation of future success.

Be sure to take an honest and objective inventory of what you do well and what you don't. Figure out ways you can capitalize on your strengths and minimize your weaknesses.

Engage yourself in the customer's business to where you take pride in how they perform--your customer will notice and reward you with a solid stream of business.

Some of the methodologies outlined in this book may seem like common sense to many, but they bear repeating especially if you're not selling as well as you desire.

I'd highly recommend this book primarily for the "solution selling" type of rep.

Eye Opener.......2005-12-04

I recently read this book that I issued from Chicago Public Library. I am a management graduate & have read lot of books. Though I read management/sales books, I hate them as I find them very generic. So, I picked up this book just for the heck of it. I generally finish books in 3-4 hours but this book is just so different. It made me think & rethink what I am doing as a sales person. It was quite an eye opener. I have been buying things online for the last 6 years but this is the first time when I really felt like buying a bought online. This book is a must READ. I would recommend it to all sales people irrespective of how many years of sales experience you have. Happy reading... Brajesh (brajesh2@yahoo.com)

Insightful and Succinct.......2005-06-23

I love Dave Stein's style. His 21 proven strategies are to the point and broken into manageable pieces. The only gripe I had was with the section on available research tools. The point is well taken that one must spend time researching a company for a sales call, but I felt too much space was given to something so basic. Maybe it's just me because I work in the technology sector, but I was surprised that the company research tools and techniques Dave mentioned are not common knowledge to almost everyone of working age.

One section of the book I find useful over and over again is the Review (Summary) section. Before going on a coaching sales call with a Rep, I sometimes review parts of this section (what parts depends on the Rep's strengths and weaknesses) and find that it can really improve performance.

Dave Stein Writes Another Winner!!.......2004-10-24

The new second edition of "How Winners Sell: 21 Proven Strategies to Outsell Your Competition & Win the Big Sale" is exceptional in both its clarity and ease of use. I am a former Fortune 50 marketing/sales executive who now teaches professional selling at the University of Central Florida. Our university enjoys an international reputation for its strength in sales training. Dave Stein's book is REQUIRED READING for the students in our Advanced Professional Selling course. Moreover, Dave now assists in coaching our nationally-famous collegiate sales competition teams. Our teaching philosophy is that 'sales is not a performance; it is a response.' Further, we see sales as much as an 'art as it is a science.' Dave Stein's book is fully compatible with our philosophy. It moves the reader to an even better understanding of the entire sales process. They [good sales guides] don't get any better than this.

Something Old, Something New.......2004-06-24

Selling is a combination of the tried and true with what's happening in our society today. The world has changed since 911 and the collapse of companies like Enron, Global Crossing, et al. Selling hasn't gotten any easier, and you need to remember the basics once in a while.

This book gives you a good overview of the basics, but also brings out some new points that I hadn't considered in my own selling. It's also a rather easy read. There are 21 'strategies' or things you need to keep in mind during the sales cycle. And the points he brings up are good. When I've lost a sale and do a post mortem later, I find that I've usually skipped one or more of these points.

Not a big book at a little over 200 pages, it is well worth the time if it helps you on one big sale.

I am sending over 150 copies of How Winners Sell to my better business clients as gifts this week, to help them be more successful, which may well help me (as their lawyer) be more successful.
If they get as much from the book as I did (and I'm not even in "sales") we'll all be Winners.

Excellent ideas for beginners and seasoned sales rep.

Essentially he states that what you learned about sales in the past isn't enough anymore - and it's time to retool your skills to get business in the new economy.

"How Winners Sell" is full of many useful strategies and tactics you can implement to:

As a sales consultant, I highly recommend "How Winners Sell" to my clients and anyone else who asks me about the best sales books to read.

If you're committed to being successful, buy this no-nonsense, easy-to-read book.
