The first time Tom Freese oversold his sales quota by 200%, everybody thought it was a fluke. When it happened again, they figured he must be some sort of freak. Over and over for seven consecutive years, Tom not only exceeded his sales quota, he doubled it. Suddenly, his success was more than a trend. It was a business phenomenon.
This raises an age-old question. Why is it that average salespeople are consistently average while top performers are consistently lapping the field? Typically, they both work hard. They may even work smart. So what is it that separates exceptional performance form average results? More often than not, the difference is strategy and technique.
With over 17 years of experience in the sales and sales management trenches, Tom has packaged his unique approach into a proven sales methodology called Question Based Selling. As founder and president of QBS Research, Inc., Tom now works with companies and salespeople all over the world to show them how a question-based approach can exponentially increase their sales results.
QBS is the culmination of a life long journey, one which propelled Tom to the top of his field in sales, and which has now brought him to the top again, as one of the foremost authorities on sales methods, buyer motivation, and selling strategy. Tom's book is a must read for all sales professionals.
