An excellent book for improving B2B sales

The book is written in a very personal way and Jim is a great story teller. He has included many real life scenarios from sales meetings in board rooms, to interviews, to dealing with competitors and even life lessons from his own personal life, which were very enlightening. His knowledge and vast experience from over 40 years of perfecting his craft really shine though.


Jim portrays an honesty in his writing and reinforces the message that relationships, connection and collaboration are what make good business. The best way to 'win a deal' is when all sides are happy and not just one. Indeed, his stories about meeting rival competitors years down the line and sharing friendly conversations about deals won and lost shines some warmth on what many people could see as a ruthless business industry.


I personally listened to the audio book of The B2B Selling Guidebook which is very well narrated by Jim himself and a nice length at just over four hours long. If you are a business owner who sells B2B or work in sales and want to learn more from real life experience, whilst being entertained with some incredible stories at the same time, this will be a fantastic read for you.
