“We set out to write a book that could make all us Johnnies better sales people—and now you hold the results of that desire in your hands. Who should be reading it? Sales executives and managers who want to build a better team, CEOs who want to better understand why their Johnnys can’t sell, sales people who want to sell more and get (back) on top, and the maverick salesperson who simply needs more ideas on how to drive his or her sales manager crazy.”—From the Introduction
 
 
Merge sales and product training practices to dramatically increase sales.
 
In the competitive world of sales, organizations and managers have long bought into popular methodologies, exposing sales teams to a multitude of new approaches in the hopes of capitalizing on the next hot thing. But while many things work in the short term, no success seems to last.
 
Why Johnny Can’t Sell . . . and What to Do About It is the story of “Johnny,” the sales professional who has tried it all and still hasn’t found the formula for consistent success that helps him understand his product, his customers, and how to close the deal. 
 
Nick and Kantin chart Johnny’s course through the sales process, examining his methods and providing sound advice and practical exercises. Why Johnny Can’t Sell is an essential sales companion, helping readers increase sales by bridging the gap between product and sales training.
 
Managers, sales teams, and field reps will learn to:
 
*  Recognize training gaps
*  Build sales tools that boost selling power
*  Communicate success to customers
*  Determine the value of a product or service to a prospect
*  Demonstrate value with compelling proposals and presentations 

Why Johnny Can’t Sell guides salespeople of all levels throughout the sales process, providing sound advice and practical exercises to build confidence and create custom sales approaches increasing the bottom line.

5Great practical advise on a complex problem  Sep 08, 2006 By Edward Golod "Revenue Accelerators"
Having been a sales mentor since 1999, and a 20+ year career selling techology into the Enterprise, I truly appreciate this book. I have been a VP of Sales several times, and wish I had had these roadmaps back then.

The book helps you visualize the problems of driving revenues not in a silo, but in a full holistic view. The sales proposal section is practical and accurate, and the ROI section is terrific in it's coverage of a complex and common topic. But, how the book ties them togther with consultative selling is the most valuable.

Once you see this, and understand how you need to plan and execute on all three disciplines to be successful, is worth the read! Then, the author guides you into building tools and strategies to execute on creating revenue...in a practical and intuitive manner.

I recommend this to ANY person in sales management to senior exec's'owners who have to drive their company. In today's tech market, we all need help selling complex solutions faster and easier, and with predicable results, and this boook is the bible.

5Spend $15 to Insure your Sales Success  Sep 01, 2006 By Jim Morton
This is the best $15 I have ever spent. For all of us that are very busy and strapped for time, the book is an easy read. The book takes you step by step through what you need to analyze and possibly adjust in order to have your best shot at sales success. It is obvious from the start that this is not one of those sales strategy books that once you get into a few pages you realize that the strategies are not feasible for you. It is clear from the start that this book was written by someone that fully understands today's sales and sales management environment, and what it takes to maximize your chances for success. The strategies and processes covered in the book are applicable to a wide range of markets, and the strategies are applicable to both sales reps, sales managers, and executives.

I plan to buy copies for all of my sales people.

3The value is in the beginning  Aug 05, 2007 By Scott Burns
This book and the valuable message is what kind of sale cycle are you in, complex or simple. Get this right and everything else flows from there. I started off the read engaged and then had to force myself to finish as all the valuable reminders were upfront. If you are new to sales, this is a good read but the experienced service sales person will find it to be a nice reminder.


4Worthwhile for the right reader  Mar 05, 2011 By Orren "O."
This book is a comprehensive picture of the challenge of selling against competition in today's corporate or institutional market. While the principles it outlines and the process it advocates are valid in any market, they are less relevant for sales that are simpler than to corporate customers by corporate sellers. The value of the book, it seems to me, lies in its breakdown of the components of the process of this type of sale, and it's far more about this process and its pieces than it is about "Johnny" and what may be lacking in him.


3OK Book  Jan 01, 2008 By Michael L. Griffin "michaellouisgriffin"
This book is Ok but I don't think it has given me any new insights into selling and it is perhaps just a little silly.
