Simple Steps to Sales Success: From Lead to Close Published by Outskirts Press

Toms River, NJ, January 16, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published From Lead to Close: A Four Step Guide to Effective Selling by Robert F. Wolff. The author's most recent book to date is a 5 x 8 paperback in the business, economics, sales and selling category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/fromleadtoclose was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.

When most sales people are hired, they receive some initial training on product knowledge, spend a few days observing a current sales representative’s daily routine, then are given an annual sales quota and sent on their way with very little, if any, ongoing support.

From Lead to Close provides a logical, step-by-step success plan to not only achieve but exceed personal sales goals and shows how to sustain success once after reaching it. The book teaches how to:

• Contact and meet with prospective clients
• Consistently close deals
• Organize daily and weekly work schedules
• Achieve and exceed monthly and annual sales quotas
• Create an annual territory sales plan
• Create an easy-to-use and informative database of prospects and clients
• Project a Territory Sales Plan to accurately forecast future sales
• Calculate a Sales Conversion Rate Formula to determine a realistic quota
• Design an Overload Formula to consistently exceed annual goals
• Hone closing techniques
• Develop essential time management skills and techniques
• Reinforce techniques that focus on positive energy to sustain long-term sales success

Whether one is just starting out or is a seasoned sales professional, there’s always something to learn that will allow a salesperson to grow and become more productive and successful. From Lead to Close will help do just that.

105 pages in length, From Lead to Close: A Four Step Guide to Effective Selling is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the business, economics, sales and selling category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, From Lead to Close meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $9.95.
