People don't buy from people they like. No! Your buyer doesn't care about you or your product or service. It's not your job to overcome objections, it's your buyer's. Closing isn't a skill of good salespeople; it's the skill of weak salespeople. Price isn't the main reason salespeople lose the sale. Gap Selling shreds traditional and closely held sales beliefs that have been hurting salespeople for decades. For years, salespeople have embraced a myriad of sales tactics and belief systems that have unknowingly created many of the issues they have been trying to avoid.

Written by a teenager - all be it a millionaire.
What did you like best about Predictable Revenue? What did you like least?
A few gems are hidden in here. However as an audio book it sucks because they reference so many images which you have to look up online. Really not what you want while commuting!
Also I found a lot of it very matter of fact, and unhelpful "e.g. never give up, always try harder, stay focused to succeed" - not that useful...
Would you ever listen to anything by Aaron Ross and Marylou Tyler again?
No.
What didn’t you like about Mary Jane Wells’s performance?
She was fine.
Could you see Predictable Revenue being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
No
Any additional comments?
Probably better as a book rather than an audio book!

heavy on the SFDC greatness
really struggled with this book. There are for me much more accessible and better process driven books than this one on prospecting. The clue is also in the title they go on and on about Salesforce.com (SFDC). Don't get me wrong if you have been ever prospected or target marketed by SFDC they are great (I have been many times), but they are a specific case with a specific budget. So unless you are working in a comparable business and budget as SFDC I really would not recommend this book as a go to for prospecting.

First off. I hated how the author was referred to in the third person. Damn that was really annoying. I felt like i was being told a story from his secretary.
Other than that there were some interesting thoughts in here. I'm not sure how relevant they are now compared to when salesforce first started using them but we implemented some of them with modest success.

Absolutely terrible narration. Not recommended.
What disappointed you about Predictable Revenue?
Mary Jane Wells did an absolutely terrible job of narrating this book.
What could Aaron Ross and Marylou Tyler have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Different narrator. Mary Jane Wells did this book an extreme injustice. I have listened to tons of audiobooks and this is by far the worst one. It's a shame too because the book came highly recommended by a few people.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Mary Jane Wells?
Someone who narrates with emphasis in proper areas and on proper sentences. Mary Jane Wells read the book with the most bland, boring tone I've heard. It sounds as though she was reading the book for the first time because she had no confidence or familiarity in the material. She made it extremely difficult to focus and listen for more than a few minutes at a time.
Any additional comments?
I recommend reading the book instead of listening to the audio given the terrible narration.
