The book is Jeffrey Gitomer\u2019s collection of sales strategies gathered from his 40 years of experience in the field. To Gitomer, selling is a science and a discipline, not an art\u2014it\u2019s a learnable, repeatable process that you follow to move another person to make a purchase. He writes that there are thousands of ways to sell and that you can choose the method that suits you best; however, your personal method should be grounded in a positive attitude, solid product knowledge, and excellent customer service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Gitomer says that anyone can learn to sell, but if you\u2019re not technically in the field of sales, you may not think his advice applies to you. However, Daniel Pink, who writes about the intersection between business, creativity, and behavior, argues that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/to-sell-is-human\/part-1\"><em>everyone<\/em> is selling something<\/a>, so it\u2019s important to learn how to do it. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/to-sell-is-human\"><em>To Sell Is Human<\/em><\/a>, Pink writes that people spend 40 percent of their time at work in <em>contemporary<\/em> <em>selling<\/em>\u2014influencing or convincing others to give up an intangible resource\u2014so the skill is critical for professional success, regardless of your field.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gitomer began writing the first edition of <em>The Sales Bible<\/em> in 1993 and has since updated it to reflect changes in the selling landscape. (Shortform&#8217;s guide is based on his 2010 updated version.) <strong>He describes the contents of the book not as a system, but as practical strategies and solutions to common selling problems. <\/strong>He emphasizes that the first step is to have a positive attitude or you\u2019ll never be successful. From there, he offers detailed tips for various parts of the selling process: setting goals, making the best impression, building and maintaining relationships, learning to listen, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/closing-the-deal-in-sales\/\">closing the sale<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Beyond Principles: Specific Selling Methods<\/strong><br><br>Gitomer offers plenty of practical tips for everyday selling scenarios, but he doesn\u2019t go in depth into a specific selling methodology. Some of the more popular selling methods you can explore are:<br><br><strong>The Five-Step Selling Process<\/strong>: In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/sell-or-be-sold\"><em>Sell or Be Sold<\/em>,<\/a> Grant Cardone outlines the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/sell-or-be-sold\/part-3\">five universal steps of selling:<\/a> 1) Greet the customer, 2) figure out what the customer wants and needs, 3) present a product, 4) make an offer, and 5) close.<br><br><strong>SPIN Selling<\/strong>: This methodology makes use of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/spin-selling\">a questioning method summarized by the acronym SPIN:<\/a> Situation, Problem, Implications, and Need-Payoff.
