As someone who has never been crazy about sales, I found the book very helpful in understanding the process flow. Furthermore, I will look at every interaction going forward as an opportunity to practice since one is always working to build and maintain good rapport...Hopefully, the trust I gain from such rapport will make me the "go to guy" for referrals when someone brings up the services I offer.
