Everybody works in sales-Niraj Kapur 5* non fiction
Sales. Why ever would you want to read a book on sales?
Bear with me- and you might be more interested than you imagine.
We either love them- shopping in them, or loathe them. Just put
“person” after the word. Those phone calls that you either don’t
want or the person on the other end cannot deviate from a script
and so can’t answer your question. We have all suffered this so
many times. You, yes you reading this, think you have nothing to
do with sales. Did you try to get your children/significant other/friend
to do something for you recently- go out maybe or a favour?
Welcome to the world of sales- you sold an idea to them without
even knowing it. Did you debate/argue/discuss something to put
across your point of view? You were selling an idea/thought/whatever.
This book is all about that. It gives Niraj’s life through his successes
and failures, jobs, hobbies and experiences his views on the world
of sales in every aspect. There are some wonderful quotes:
“People rarely leave a bad company- they more often leave a bad boss”.
My favourite has to be Einstein- “ definition of an idiot- someone who
does the same thing over and over expecting to get a different result”.
In other words- Do what you’ve always done- get what you've always
got. An easy read, a book to learn from (I spent most of my working
life in sales and found this a very interesting read). Guess what- you
reading this- this is sales pitch, so is watching the ads on TV- you
don’t always know you have been sold to. Humming a tune? That
TV ad worked better than you ever knew!
