The new power base selling - Jim Holden

Power Base Selling, originally published in 1990, left readers with an understanding of and language for gaining political advantage within accounts.

The New Power Base Selling offers an updated and more in-depth edition of the original classic with an empirically based breakthrough to significantly increasing sales performance.
