"Linda Richardson is in the Sales Hall of Fame. Her new book, Changing the Sales Conversation, is not an option. It's an imperative. When Linda Richardson says it's time to change the sales conversation, you can bet your job, and your wallet, that it's time to change."

Jeffrey Gitomer, author of The Little Red Book of Selling

"The sales game has changed radically in recent years, and there's no going back. Richardson not only gets the big picture about the new world of sales, but she also provides the kind of insidebaseball details new and experienced salespeople can really use. This book stands out in a field bloated with old thinking and tired cliches."

Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and To Sell Is Human

These days, when those of us who sell need every molecule of competitive edge we can muster, Linda cleverly pulls it together for us. And she does it with a voice radiating experience, knowledge, and sincere empathy for the challenging job we all have."

Dave Stein, CEO & Founder, ES Research Group, Inc., and author of How Winners Sell
