Features: We do not want this book to be a theoretical treatise, but rather a practical tool for salespeople in their daily work. We will even teach you step-by-step how to apply it in real-world scenarios. We emphasize the practical applicability of the content in the book. We do not want salespeople to put the book aside after reading it and gradually forget its contents over time. We hope that salespeople can immediately apply these concepts to their actual sales processes and gradually internalize them through practical exercises. We believe that dry lectures and one-sided (force-feeding) cannot help our readers "implement it immediately." For this reason, we will not include any obscure theoretical teachings in this book. Instead, we have interspersed numerous case studies, self-assessment questions, and practice exercises throughout the book. As you read this book, you will find that you are not passively receiving knowledge but actively engaging in thought processes to understand and reinforce the material.
