My father heard Chris Lytle speak a few months ago and he was so impressed he bought this book. When I was home for Christmas, I picked it up off his desk and within 2 chapters I was so hooked I pulled out a highlighter and started marking up the book. I ended up buying him a replacement copy, bought one for my sister in Sun Prairie, Wi, and one for my business associate in Connecticut.
On Saturday after I got back home to California, I had an unfortunate message on my voice mail from an upset customer that was dropping our service. I called her and she immediately told me she didn't have time to talk. An hour later she was not only not going to drop us, she is likely going to move up to our highest package. I already put to use some ideas I had learned only days earlier from this book. I didn't use any manipulative technique, nor would I ever stoop to that level, but used what I learned from this book to maximize my effectiveness with the customer. In the end what I really care about is giving my customers top rate service, a top rate product and hopefully we'll all have fun in the process.
I didn't know it until I read The Accidental Salesperson, but I am the epitome of an accidental salesperson. I am a software engineer that started an Internet service 5 years ago in my spare time that I have nurtured and slowly picked up more customers. This last month it is really starting to pick up. I am scrambling to learn how to be the best salesperson I can be because I am thinking about quitting my full-time job to give this a go. I am going through this book, wearing out my highlighter, and am building a bunch of ideas about how I can become a salesperson, on purpose.
Email me if you have any question as to why this book should be $40 instead of $18. stevek@caladventures.com

I sell insurance, and I'm new to the profession.
I picked up this book because I could relate to the title. I didn't plan a career in sales, it's just kind of happened that way, but I wanted to take the ball and run with it. That's exactly what this book helps you accomplish.
The book is full of good ideas and helps you break down the sales process into something more digestible, understandable and organizational. I have flagged about 30 pages in the book for good ideas to reference.
In the beginning of the book he wants to help you understand the difference of "just going through the motions" of someone in sales, versus becoming a true resource for your clients. When you achieve that mentality, people will not view you as just another salesperson but more of a consultant. Example: Don't just leave fliers for clients, ask them what they would like in their packet. Make personal contacts. Tease some interest. I would say it's a bit like dating.
To achieve that higher level of operation, Lytle offers a process to track your own sales goals and leads. If there were ever the "hands-on" how-to that you did not get in sales school, it is here.
I recommend this book with 5 stars because there is so much helpful information to help bring you to a new level. It's easy to read but well written. Keep an eye out for the "free sales seminars" he refers to, such as movies or books. Helps you keep your eyes open to learning opportunities.

Good if you already work in a sales dept, but not what I wanted
2008年3月10日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
If you already work in a sales department, you call prospects to arrange meetings, qualify clients, present proposals and close sales, then this is a great book and you should definitely buy it. Five stars, no question.
But I'd been led to believe that this book covered more than that, and it doesn't. Specifically, I'm interested in improving back-of-room sales of my books and other products when I run workshops and seminars. I would definitely call myself an accidental salesperson, in the sense that I now find myself trying to sell things as well as delivering my talks or leading workshops. I don't work in a sales department and have no wish to. I don't phone corporate clients to arrange meetings, I don't present proposals, etc, which is what this book is all about. I don't have any problems getting people to come to my workshops and seminars - in fact they're often over-subscribed.
But the author's definition of an accidental salesperson differs from mine. His (only) definition is someone who now works in a sales department when it wasn't their original ambition to do so.
Since the author runs seminars and is a speaker himself, I hoped he'd have some useful tips to pass on about increasing back-of-room sales. But from reading the book it appears that he only gives seminars and courses for corporate clients, and all of his sales efforts are concentrated on getting those bookings. So he is a salesperson in the traditional sense, presenting proposals to his corporate clients about how much better their sales people will perform after taking his course or attending his seminar. He doesn't appear to have any back-of-of room sales. Or if he does, he doesn't mention anything about it in his book. So for me it was useless - no stars.
I've compromised and given it a middling score of 3, because if you do work in a sales department I can see that it would be a useful book.

Did not change my life but did reiterate basic selling tips I had forgotten over the decades. I would say it is geared to a younger audience.

very rare five-star review!
2011年9月5日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Look at the rest of my reviews of business titles and you will see that I almost never give five-star reviews. Even books that I really like, I tend to give four stars. My belief is that if we give five stars to books we like...even a lot...there is nothing to separate those books from the all-time classics.
To me, THIS is an all-time title. I work with smaller businesses and start-up entrepreneurs. Frequently, business titles only apply tangentially. I this case, I tell darn near every entrepreneur that will have a sales element to his or her business that this book is a MUST READ.
Lytle does a great job of spelling out the process involved with making a sale. For small business people who think that they can just place a few ads and wait for the phone to ring so they can start getting rich, this book is a GREAT look at what it REALLY takes to get somebody to spend money with your business.
I'll read it again and again.
