In the ever-changing world of sales, there is no single, sure- fire, tried-and-true method that can be readily imitated by anyone to miraculously improve performance. In fact, the world's best salespeople are not characterized at all by their technique. But they do share one common trait: Successful sales reps use their individual aptitudes to succeed in their work environment. DISCOVER YOUR SALES STRENGTHS is an extraordinary program built upon the concept that every person already possesses the tools necessary to become an amazing salesperson. Grounded in extensive Gallup research conducted over 40 years and based on hundreds of thousands of interviews with sales managers, salesmen, and consumers, it teaches individuals to focus on personal strengths and talents, and then guides them to transform those assets into solid sales skills-and successful careers.

Great Book for Your Organization:
Our company employs Gallup to do their strengths training and everyone of our sales reps gets this book when they are hired on. Fantastic!
Builds Off Strengthfinder:
If you are familiar with Strengthsfinder and you need to develop a sales force or, to a lesser degree, your own personal sales techniques, then this is a good purchase. On the otherhand, the other books are not a pre-req. There is enough intro to Strengthsfinder concepts reading the previous works that this book can give someone the basics if a sales focus is the only goal. I consider Strengthsfinder so valuable, that I'm glad to have read both.
Excellent Sales Skills Resource!:
Excellent material! (I do like the original, "Now, Discover your strengths", better as a book. I think the original is more smoothly written, but sales people like to read sales examples.)
We are using this book with our(pharma)sales reps and also with the corporate personel they work with. This book and the strengthsfinder assessment helps sales people identify their strengths and really focus on them. I have moved to this model in my sales skills training as well as in our performance management... more info
