Great Ideas to help shorten your sales cycle
As a business owner I HIGHLY recommend this book. If you are currently selling products and services in a market where the sales cycle tends to drag on, then Short Cycle Selling is a great resource in reducing this potential lenghty process. I found myself stopping to take notes as I read the book. I have already started to implement some of the ideas shared by Jim Kasper. He does a great job of taking you from the early stages (prospect) all the way through to getting a referral from your client.

Must read for large account selling and closing large deals
While there are hundreds of sales books only a handful deal with large accounts or the process of longer, more involved sales. Reducing the time it takes to get business and controlling the process instead of launching a proposal over the wall and then praying for a phone call is what this book is all about. May be the most important book on sales in a long time. A must read for anyone who sells to corporations, hospitals, or other sales that can't be closed in one meeting. This isn't a book about someone else's success or entertaining stories. The book explains a way of thinking and a process to control the sale in order to make more of them in a shorter period of time. Similar Products
