(More customer reviews)I'm one of those who likes to read reviews before buying a book. In this case, I concur with all the reviews except for the two who seem to have skipped Duncan's Introduction in the book. After reading the other reviewers' comments, I was a little skeptical to buy "High Trust Selling" at first because of the two reviewers who say Duncan doesn't ever define "high trust." But when I picked up the book and read the Intro, "high trust" was clearly defined there, and then expanded upon in great detail throughout the remainder of the book. In the Intro Duncan writes, "...sales are made when trust exists. But in the sales profession there's more to steady success than being a trustworthy person - although that's certainly where it starts. Long-term sales success happens when HIGH trust exists - when you are a trustworthy salesperson running a trustworthy sales business. When it's clear to your clients that you are a person of integrity who will not only do what you say but who also has the means to deliver. It is one thing to be a trustworthy person with a sales job; it's another to be a trustworthy salesperson with a reliable business.
"A trustworthy person will do everything in his power to follow through on what he has promised - and that's very important. But if a trustworthy person is not ALSO an efficient salesperson running an efficient sales business, trust will only go so far. It may land a sale or two, but it rarely will last beyond that. High trust is necessary to climb to the top, whether you're selling cars or copiers; hats or home loans; footwear or financial services. And high trust happens by design, not by accident. It's earned and preserved, but never finagled. Despite what you've read or been taught to this point in your sales career, it takes more than fortitude and flattery to become great in the sales profession. If you are a trustworthy salesperson running a respectable, reliable sales business, you will succeed in the sales profession . . . in less time than you think and with much less stress than you're accustomed to. More than that, with high trust on your side you will climb to the top of your industry and remain there."
All things considered, this is a very valuable book - even if you're already successful in a sales industry. This book will both teach you and keep you focused on the keys to staying on top as a salesperson. I highly recommend it.
