Top Sales, Business, and Life Book Recommendations

I have been getting asked recently for my list of top sales book.. I find most sales book fairly redundant and propose a similar methodology in different terms. If you're going to listen to any one in the sales world, I defer directly to Jeffrey Gitomer. He "gets it" and will make you do the same.

I am starting to read more around social psychology and books geared towards the history and movement of technology...

The following books have made a tremendous impact in my personal and professional life (in no particular order):

  1. Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time
  2. Red-Hot Cold Call Selling: Prospecting Techniques That Really Pay Off
  3. Little Red Book of Selling: 12.5 Principles of Sales Greatness
  4. How to Win Friends and Influence People
  5. How to Castrate a Bull: Unexpected Lessons on Risk, Growth, and Success in Business
  6. Chasing Quota
  7. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
  8. The World is Flat: a Brief History of the Twenty-First Century 
  9. The Fine Art of Small Talk: How To Start a Conversation, Keep It Going, Build Networking Skills -- and Leave a Positive Impression!
  10. The Big Moo: Stop Trying to Be Perfect and Start Being Remarkable
Enjoy.
