I need to master the basics of selling. I don't really know, however, what those basics are exactly. For closing, I know that you must ask for the order, and sound enthusiastic, and shut up after asking a closing question. That's about it. I've tried reading sales books, but I suddenly realized today that the books are written by sales professionals who are aiming the book towards other sales professionals. My past experience in sales is light. I haven't checked it out, but isn't there a sales for dummies book? I'm certain that if I could just get a good dose of intensive training in sales basics, I would become much better at selling. Books like "Mastering the Art of Sales" aren't at my level. I'm really at the bottom trying to pick up whatever I can. Anyone know a good place to start?
