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)

Timeless Wisdom for Every Salesperson (and their leaders)

Mike does a masterful job of breaking down the tools, techniques, and necessary elements of nearly any sales process. He provides numerous real world examples along with immediate, simple actionable insights anyone can begin to deploy to connect more frequently with prospects and dramatically improve results. You’ll likely consume it more than once and return to certain chapters for refreshers when your world starts to get noisy. A true classic and Mike is correct to promote it as such.

Solid sales advice

As a sales trainer, I am speaking about the concepts Mike covers on a daily basis. I found his book very comprehensive and based on what I believe to be the truths of selling.
This is a great resource for someone selling today, not only ten years ago.

Best book about B2B sales process

I wish I had read this book when I started my sales career. Unfortunately, most business courses are focused on marketing and general management, few describe a sales process and explain it.
Mike explains a full sales process and its most critical stages. I can recommend this book for both rookie sales representatives and seasoned sales managers.

Insightful & Immediately Actionable

As someone who loves sales, I typically despise sales books. This one was actually pretty badass. Prepare to be called out, and then immediately shown how to overcome your biggest sales obstacles.
