Sales Growth by Thomas Baumgartner

The challenges facing today's sales executives and their organizations continue to grow, but so do the expectations that they will find ways to overcome them and drive consistent sales growth.

Sales Growth belongs in the selling-as-science schoolThe book argues that data, process management and outsourcing can do as much for sales departments as for other areas of the corporation. This book, which finally gives the field some proper attention, is long overdue. - The Economist "Reading this book is like walking into a room where more than a hundred of the world's sales leaders are openly sharing their perspectives. Sales Growth puts sales management back where it belongs: at the center of management thinking about what makes businesses successful." - Marc Benioff, Chairman and CEO, Salesforce "Sales Growth reflects a deep understanding of face-to-face sales while also bringing to life the issues and lessons to learn around e-commerce and new channels. Filled with pragmatic insights, this book is essential reading for anyone managing sales in both today's and tomorrow's multichannel world." Robert Friedmann, Chairman, Central Managing Board, Wurth Group "Sales Growth shares wisdom that successful sales leaders have cultivated to create greater value for their customers and their companies. It offers a compelling set of case examples that combine the art of selling with true analytical rigor and operational know-how." Gerhard Gschwandtner, CEO, Selling Power magazine "Sales Growth is essential reading for business leaders and MBA students. It is a thoughtful and practical addition to the discipline of sales management. Using timely stories and provocative anecdotes, the authors provide executives with an important and accessible book." David Schmittlein, John C. Head III Dean, MIT Sloan School of Management
