Matthew Dixon and Brent Adamson share the secret to sales success: don't just build relationships with customers. Challenge them!

What's the secret to sales success?

Their conclusion? The best salespeople don't just build relationships with customers. They challenge them.

Any sales rep, once equipped with the tools in this book, can drive higher levels of customer loyalty and, ultimately, greater growth. And this book will help them get there.
