SPIN selling has been the dominant technique for the past decade, but "Connective Selling" makes the sales process easier and more sophisticated. The practical '8 junction' approach will help you sell effectively without the 'hard sell'. "Connective Selling" is for salespeople who want to win business with techniques that really work.
