What People are Saying:

"I found it to be a fun, dynamic read – not your typical book about sales.  I would recommend this to anyone – from sales beginners to willy veterans."
 - Mark Peterson, President and CEO of Greater Rochester Enterprise.

five-star-amazonA must read for sales leaders - This book should be read by every sales leader. The game of selling has changed fundamentally and the author has been living and breathing B2B sales and he has the uncanny ability to clearly describe what needs to be done to win the game. One of my favorite sales books of 2013.”
- Gerhard Gschwandtner, February 22, 2013 (originally posted on Amazon.com)

five-star-amazonGreat Read for Business Professionals - This book, The Game of Business to Business Sales, is an insightful guide that focuses on strategies and builds a success plan for key areas- prospecting, client relationships and driving revenue.”
-Mavish, March 13, 2013 (originally posted on Amazon.com)

five-star-amazonA business professional MUST READ! - Being a business owner and professional, Matthew's book is a great read and diagram for success. Whether you're a Sales Director, an experienced sales professional or just starting out in the world of sales and business, this book is a great book to help guide you to success.”
- Abram Michaels, February 18, 2013 (originally posted on Amazon.com)

five-star-bnThe was an excellent book. A “for the serious B2B sales professional” looking to take his sales abilities to the next level. The authors style incorporates historical facts, personal life experience and professional business sales acumen to very clearly illustrate to the reader what they need to do in order to become the highest producing sales professional in their respective industry. Maximizing resources for prospecting new business, using the latest technology to develop relationships and get in front of decision makers and teaching the reader how to truly differentiate themselves; you can't lose. This is a must have for Sales Managers with mediocre sales staff. Following this outline will most certainly develop a team of over performers and quota busters! FAR exceeding my expectations, this is best sales book I have read in years!”
