I really enjoyed this book, as I found it insightful and very well structured. The book is very concise with 5 parts that outline 22 specific common mistakes that sales managers make. You really find yourself nodding in agreement as you read through these mistakes. I think we've all experienced (and made!) at least a few of them.



I recommend this book for sales managers and business owners who are willing to identify their areas of weakness in management, learn from common mistake of others, and most importantly learn from their own mistakes.



Here are the 22 mistakes. If you find yourself making some of these, pick up the book to find the solutions!
