Ask HN: Great startup B2B sales books (2017-)?
6 points by Biba 2841 days ago
Looking for recommendations for books about inbound and outbound sales with the latest techniques (from building the funnel to MQL, SQL, Closing, Cold Emailing, Nurturing, etc.)

Building a Story Brand - How to communicate your value so people will listen. Fanatical Prospecting - the entire sales process. New books aren't changing the sales game... the same principles apply today as they did 50 years ago: fill a pipeline with outbound calls and then close as many accounts as you can.
Great, already read it :)

It's not the 'latest techniques', but tried and true consultative selling (being a doctor, finding out what's wrong and figuring out a solution for your potential customer, rather than using sales tricks).
