ConclusionReviews'I couldn't put this book down. It's great! I love the myth-busting style. The book moves quickly and stays focused on specific areas, so it's easy to dip in and out. It's also practical: you can look at a myth, read it and apply what you've learned. It's very reader-friendly.' Liz Allison, People and Culture Director, Hamilton Court FX 'When I began reading Untangle Your Sales, I didn't know what to expect. I often find business books dry and stuffed with obvious statements aimed at people with a variety of problems that look nothing like mine. As I read Untangle Your Sales, it was like Lynne and Martin had been watching me for years, studying my progress, and had decided it really was time to help me out. In their own quirky way, they demonstrate a genuine understanding of an entrepreneur's journey from start-up, when passion and enthusiasm drive the business on, to the point when the need for a more structured approach to sales kicks in. This is one of the few books I wish I'd read earlier.' Tony Stein, Chief Executive, Healthcare Management Solutions 'The world is changing more rapidly than ever, and, for a business leader employing a sales team, it can be easy to become entangled in endless how to books and seminars. In Untangle Your Sales Lynne and Martin debunk corporate myths, with their people-centred, down-to-earth approach. Read and apply this book to bring a new energy to the sales within your business.' Paul Hargreaves, CEO, Cotswold Fayre, B Corp Ambassador, speaker, and author of Forces for Good 'Martin and Lynne tackle the pressing question of how you can carry out the dirty business of sales effectively yet purposefully - aligned with your own beliefs and core purpose. As the owner of a small business that has grown organically, this book spoke my language and spoke to the very challenges I was facing when it came to selling. A must-read for any leader who feels daunted by the prospect of tackling those dreaded sales knots.' Dave Vann, Managing Director, ABA | Building brands with purpose 'I have never managed to read any business book all the way through - until now. I found Untangle Your Sales engaging, thought-provoking and exhilarating. It has made me rethink some of the ways of working within my own business, and I have found myself returning to the book and digging back into the sales myths. Martin and Lynne have certainly managed to reboot my inner energy, and I am now relooking at how we can excite our internal sales teams, clients, trade customers and consumers.' Mandy Willmore, Managing Director, Powermed Plus 'A brilliant guide to sales, specifically the parts people don't usually tell you about. It's superb and busts all the classic myths we are told. I wish I could have read this earlier.'
