About the Book

Wall Street Journal and Business Week best-selling author and leader of one of America's top sales training companies, Todd Duncan reveals the 10 most common mistakes salespeople make, and offers insight on how to avoid them.

Some salespeople are very successful, but a greater percentage end up victims of the sales industry-and their own mistakes. Some mistakes are normal bumps in the road toward success. Others are more damaging. But many are fatal to a career.

Duncan addresses these catastrophic mistakes with clarity and directness. Whether you're a seasoned sales professional or someone considering sales as a career, Duncan's wisdom can help you avoid errors in perception, practice, and performance that could not only cost you a sale, but also your career.
