Average Customer Rating:

Practical, easy on paper... harder in practice though	Customer Rating:
Selling is not easy, specially "the major sale"... this book gives you a real start point after reading the SPIN Selling book (must read first). The only reason I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is the presentation of the paperback version. Fieldbooks should only be hardcover, mine is all bent and dirty now, only because i'm using it the way it is supposed to be used.

This book will help you determine how serious you are about achieving sales success

Customer Rating:

This book is a 206 page powerhouse, but I want to direct you to pages 50 and 51: "The Good News"... "The good news is that the Spin model has proved to be a versatile sales tool, works across cultures, applies across industries, is equally applicable to selling services or products." "The Bad News"... "Our one million users would tell you in one voice: It's a lot harder than it seems. SPIN isn't a magic pill that you can take and turn yourself into an instant sales success. It's hard work. One of the immutable laws of business is that there's always a link between risk and reward. The more rewarding the outcome, the tougher it is to obtain. If SPIN questions were simple and automatic, then everyone would be using them already, and there would be no competitive advantage from the model. " So there you have it. You will not only have to learn the basic principles of SPIN (Situation - Problem - Implication - Need Payoff), you will also have to personalize these principles into a game plan for each prospect, current customer, former customer... ...and in doing so you will be ahead of the curve. You'll be far down the road from the people who are still fumbling around for a "simple and automatic" approach. You will find few books on sales that are as honest as this one. Author Neil Rackham hands you a powerful set of tools, but make no mistake about it: your success will come entirely from what you choose to do with them. VERY highly recommended.

Better than the standard Spin Selling Book	Customer Rating:
This field book is better than the original book was. If you are going to buy just one of the two you should probably just buy the field book. It allows you to apply the ideas very quickly.

Practice makes perfect.	Customer Rating:
Usually is not enough to read a book to have the knowledge, you need to practice, and that is what this book helps to, giving you ideas on how to put SPIN method into practice.
