Click here and take less than 2 minutes to hear directly from Author Frank Hurtte about why you need this book.
Specialists are used by a supermajority of top-performing distributors. Especially in today's down economy, many distributors consider the specialist role vital for their business.
The specialist is the distributor employee who supports the “front-line” sales team and other departments by playing a specific—usually product- or technology-related—role in the sales process. The specialist furnishes technical support, sales backup, marketing direction, and product management within a distributor organization. This book shows you the business results that specialists can help you achieve, potential pitfalls of specialist utilization, and ways to build from scratch or strengthen your specialist team. Relevant case studies straight from the trenches pepper each chapter to show you not only what needs to be done, but how to get started.
