Best Sales Books of 2008 Honors Go to Two of WBusiness Books’ Sales Education Books

Dec. 22, 2008 - PRLog -- El Monte, Calif -- Best Sales Books of 2008 honors have gone to two of  WBusiness Books’ sales education books, including a Gold Medal for “Reality Sells,” authored by Bill Guertin and Andrew Corbus, and a Silver Medal for “Soar Despite Your Dodo Sales Manager,” authored by Lee B. Salz, announced Arthur Chou, publisher.

Additionally, the two books were named among the top 12 Landslide Sales Book of the Year Finalists, Chou said.

Of the Best Sales Books of 2008 winners, two are from WBusiness Books, two are from Simon & Schuster, and two are from McGraw-Hill.

The Sales Book Awards program recognizes books, authors, and publishers whose work advances sales as a profession. Entries were judged in 10 separate categories related to selling. The awards program’s web site can be found at www.salesbookawards.org

“With the current economic challenges facing our nation, there has never been a greater need for sales books that empower, that give sales people the ideas, processes and resources to improve how they connect with their customers,” said Chou. “It is gratifying that two of our books have been judged as among the best sales education books in the marketplace, and we know they can help sales professionals do a better job of selling.”

“Reality Sells,” written by Bill Guertin and Andrew Corbus, received a gold medal in the awards program’s Sales Methodology / Process category, while “Soar Despite Your Dodo Sales Manager,” written by Lee B. Salz, received a silver medal in the Sales Motivation category.

“We’re deeply honored by the judges’ decision,” said Corbus. “We’ve seen the trend toward authenticity in business for several years, and with all the current media coverage on those who have misrepresented themselves, the message of ‘Reality Sells’ is even more relevant to anyone involved in selling.”

“It’s terrific news, and we’re grateful,” said Guertin. “Readers have told us that they’ve followed the advice in our book, and they’re succeeding. We’re thrilled to receive an award like this from a nonpartisan group comparing our work to the hundreds of other sales books that are available.”

Added Salz, president of Sales Architects and a sales management guru who specializes in helping companies hire the right sales people, get them on-board, and focus their sales behaviors, about his silver medal: “It’s a great honor for me. By following the teachings in ‘Soar Despite Your Dodo Sales Manager,’ sales people will be empowered and provided with processes that enable them to be successful under any economic condition.”
