Great Sales Force Reference
Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4
This was the required text for my Sales Force Management MBA class, and I found it to be a very thorough and practical reference. I am almost certain I will refer back to it in the future.

Not Enough Stars for this Masterpiece!

Whewie! I had many reservations about buying this book. The previous reviews made me skeptical, especially when I looked at the price tag and acknowledged the fact that I was going to bleed to death reading a blah-blah boring has-been couple of spineless professors rant about their lame memoirs and anecdotes lazily collected by one of their pet clones.

To be precise, this book was written by two of the most influential consultants, professors and businessmen in the world. They worked with sales forces and represented companies of all sizes, in addition to being 'team-driven' by their own successful consultancy spanning thirty years.

In many instances, they gained from the output of academia and collaborated their research with students associated from the prestigious Northwestern's J.K. Kellogg Graduate School of Management.

This book has foundation, structure, conceptual analysis and excellent ideas for any student, manager-in-training or business executive who is trying to avoid the "art of selling" or "quick buck motivational" 'diaper-training series' collections (sold at newsstands everywhere).

There are chapters from other excellent contributors related to Internet Strategies, Market Strategy and Segmentation. I found the material to be factual, concise and thoughtful.

This is a rare book written about sales forces. Sales forces are the life-blood of ANY company. Your ability to communicate with people will increase your power, wealth and happiness. A sales force can easily become 'unruly beasts' because the sales force are people dealing with people. Great sales managers must understand CONCEPTS about how to FOCUS, CHANNEL and DISCIPLINE people without disrupting profitability...AND LOSING GREAT PEOPLE!!!

"The Complete Guide to Accelerating Sales Force Performance provides education the way a textbook does, but it also provides guidance. It advises, similar to a manager's manual, and it seeks to provide the sales manager with an understanding of the entire sales force system by presenting frameworks for sales force design and performance enhancement."

Buckle Up! This book contains "all muscle and no fat." It is a mental and physical exercise book that requires considerable attention. "The quality of the selling organization has a direct effect on a company's sales and profitability." Now, time for me to mold my sales force into terrific shape. :)

A Good Read!

To boost your sales group's performance, give your salespeople very specific assessments and instructions, as per authors Andris A. Zoltners, Prabhakant Sinha and Greggor A. Zoltners. The trouble here is that the instructions are not only detailed, they are highly technical. You have to see sales as a science to make the best use of the graphs, charts, lists, diagrams and formulas. If you can make your way through the academic writing, you'll find some useful hard data, such as statistical evidence that backs the need for precise sales performance assessments. Despite its lengthy retelling of some very basic sales principles, we recommend this manual to the audience its authors suggest, "sales managers, top managers, salespeople who want to advance professionally, divisional presidents and business owners" plus business school students. If you're going to be academic, you might as well learn something.
