Critic Reviews

"'New Sales. Simplified. is truly priceless. This is a book you don't read once; it's one you read with a highlighter and pad, taking notes on each topic. After you've read it and marked it up, you'll find yourself coming back time and time again for more ideas to help you grow your sales." (Mark Hunter, The Sales Hunter, author of High-Profit Selling)

"Mike Weinberg's coaching and the approach presented in New Sales. Simplified. have been game-changers for our firm. Our revamped sales story is getting us in front of significantly more Fortune 500 prospects, and Mike's method for conducting sales calls has changed the entire dynamic of the sales dance and helped shorten our sales cycle." (Thomas H. Lawrence, CEO, Smartlight Subrogation)

"Everyone in sales is responsible for new business development. Period. End of story. But as Mike Weinberg so clearly puts it, 'No one ever defaults to prospecting.' If you constantly struggle to generate new business, you owe it yourself to read New Sales. Simplified. You will learn everything you need to do to stand out from the competition, get more appointments, and close more deals. Oh, and you will have more fun doing it!' (Kelley Robertson, CEO, The Robertson Training Group, and author of Stop, Ask and Listen and The Secrets of Power Selling)

I wish I was given this book when I started in B2B Sales.

This book isn’t trying to be anything more than it is.

A comprehensive sales guide for the basics from prospecting to closing. There’s no fancy new age methodology. It is simple, tried and true basics.

I like this book over others because it is something that can be implemented with average sales ability and a modicum of confidence. It’s not asking you to do the impossible but merely follow a robust, and sis synced process. No bs, no special sauce. Just good old 1 2 3.

It will provide a solid foundation for professionals to explore and implement other sales methodologies.

Great book, lots of useful information I did not find elsewhere. Would however love to get a perspective on B2C sales as well in future books.

Start with the customer

Sales can be a dry subject. This book is well written and read so as to make the process and tactics interesting and easy to apply.

Too many organisations still live in the past and use the look at me approach.

Thankfully the author focuses on discovery and preparation.
