No B. S. Sales Success In The New Economy
(Dan S. Kennedy)
Join the Sales Elite!
The old economy is shattered and GONE FOREVER. It is never coming back as it was...and many sales professionals will become extinct waiting for it to return. However, if you plan to stick around (and succeed), then you must know this about the emerging, new economy: the power has returned to the consumer. Tolerance for anything ordinary is zero. Gone are the days of surplus customers on buying sprees, happily buying and freely spending.
