Nothing But The #SalesTruth – A Book Review of #Sales Truth by Mike Weinberg
Sales Truth by Mike Weinberg
I am a huge fan of Mike Weinberg’s previous works New Sales Simplified and Sales Management Simplified, so when I learned that he had another book coming out I eagerly awaited it’s arrival. Mike Weinberg’s new book is entitled #SalesTruth: Debunk the Myths. Apply Powerful Principles. Win More New Sales and boy does it pack a punch! Mike Weinberg has brought clarity and distilled selling’s most critical issues and done it in the most direct an unabashed way imaginable. #SalesTruth slaughters many myths that are all the rage right now and cuts to the quick on what actually works. I found #SalesTruth both refreshing and full of value.

#SalesTruth = Sales Value
Mike Weinberg
I usually share the key insights in each of my reviews but there are so many insights in #SalesTruth that I wouldn’t know where to start. There is so much here. I used up two highlighters reading this book. The section on messaging is worth the price of the book alone. The proactive calling script is worth the price of the book alone. The “money line” is worth 100 times the price of the book alone. And there is so much more. I really could not recommend a book any higher. What you’re getting here is straight-up wisdom from an expert seller that both lived the sales life and has witnessed all the pitfalls we typically fall into while working with his clients. You’re straight-talk advice on the potholes to avoid and exactly what to do to execute best-practice. This book is emotionally engaging and eminently practical. Every sales professional should invest in this book and read it 2-3 times a year – because, if followed, it will make a massive difference on your sales success.
