The Challenger Sale

Matthew Dixon and Brent Adamson

The VMT Review

The book argues that strong B2B sellers teach customers something valuable, tailor the message, and constructively guide the buying process. It is particularly useful for complex sales in which the customer does not fully understand the cost or implications of the problem. Its classifications should not be applied mechanically.
