Sales Out of Service oleh Norman Cohn

The American consumer has become the frog in the water. The old sales model that is taught and practiced in this country has conditioned us to accept deceit and nondisclosure. Instead of being served, we are pitched and manipulated. Relationship, service, and authenticity take a back seat to the salesperson’s end game, which is earning commission and generating sales.

This book, which is more accurately described as a sales training manual, introduces and teaches a new sales paradigm that is based upon honesty, integrity, relationship, and service.
