The Challenger Sale: Taking Control of the Customer Conversation by Matthew Dixon and Brent Adamson: Conversation Starters

The Challenger Sale opens with this question: What's the secret to sales success? Most business leaders would answer the question with relationships. While that is fundamentally true, Matthew Dixon and Brent Adamson argue that it is not enough to build relationships with customers. To be successful, business leaders need to challenge their relationships. Dixon and Adamson needed to understand what sets apart top-performing reps from the average performing ones. Together with their colleagues at Corporate Executive Board, Dixon and Adamson investigate the attitudes, behaviors, knowledge, and skills that matter to reps that have the highest sales performance. Their discovery may come as a shock to decades-old conventional sales wisdom.

SPIN Selling author Professor Neil Rackham says that Dixon and Adamson’s research is “game-changing.” His advice is not just to read it but also “think about it, implement it. You, and your organization will be glad you did.” DuPont former chief sales officer Dan James says that the amazing thing about this book is that it “breaks the winning elements of this powerful approach into a set of teachable skills.” Oakwood Temporary Housing Vice President Ken Revenaugh says that The Challenger Sale is “a must-read book for every sales professional.”
