He begins by looking at attitudes, interpersonal skills and preparation. Next he looks at the psychology of selling before mapping out the four key steps to making the sale. In the chapter on 'reducing resistance' four basic personality types are profiled and in each case the author gives suggestions for winning them over. There are also sample question-and-answer sessions, between prospect and salesperson, to demonstrate how to deal with a range of concerns. Practical and informative.
