Must-know concepts and smart strategies for every step of a sale—from the new Business Essentials Series for busy professionals

The focus of sales always seems to be on the ultimate goal of closing deals, which makes it easy to overlook the crucial steps that come before, during, and after the sale. But, the reality is, knowing the right things to do in all steps of the process is what sets us up for success. Whether you're just starting out or are looking to improve your sales skills, this book from industry expert Rana Salman is a start-to-finish guide that will quickly lead you toward quota-crushing performance. Everything you need to know is here, in three easy-to-digest parts:
