دانلود کتاب Negotiating with Backbone: Eight Sales Strategies to Defend Your Price and Value

Sales professionals now confront the most serious threat to their success. Regardless of their size, industry, country, customer type, nature of the relationship or amount of value they provide, sales professionals are finding that purchasing decisions are increasingly being limited by procurement.
