It is absolutely clear: Sales leadership as usual just will not work any longer. At The Brooks Group, we have been training and coaching business-to-business salespeople and sales leaders for more than 40 years. Throughout that time, we have seen a steady group of core fundamentals as critical to success - prospect intelligently and consistently, prepare to have quality sales calls, ask good questions to understand what really motivates buyers, and connect the dots between what buyers need and want and what you offer as a supplier. Selling fads and quirky approaches have come and gone, but the fundamentals - what our founder Bill Brooks called IMPACT Selling - have consistently been the way to improve results.That said, starting late in the twenty-teens, as the makeup of typical B2B sales forces and the technologies used in their day-to-day work were changing, we started to see the best sales organizations add some important things to our list of selling fundamentals. Intentional sales cultures, team alignment, understanding of buyer journeys, and useful metrics were just a few of the areas the best of the best sales teams used to stay ahead of the competition.Then 2020 happened. Walking day-by-day with our clients through the start, middle, and now (we hope) the end of the pandemic has helped us see very clearly that, to quote Marshall Goldsmith, "What got you here won't get you there." Today's B2B customers are very clear that they see little value in most sales calls. Buyers have wrestled control of the buying process away from sellers, seeking contact and content only after they have short-listed options and built an evaluation model, including a low, cost-based price. If any of these issues sound familiar to you, please read on. Through research examples, client conversations, and our own experience, we describe six key trends making their impact on sales organizations today. We have also worked hard to provide implementable ideas and resources that will help you lead where you need to go. Not sure where, exactly, you need to head? Reading this book is a good first step.

Durham City in Colour 1960 - 1970 is a fascinating account of an ancient city and its people at work and play. This is the first time such a pictorial record of the 1960s has been collected in book form. The styles of the era are well covered, along with the many changes that occurred with the demolition of buildings and construction of new roads. Long-forgotten public houses and business premises are shown, alongside numerous vehicles of the period. The photographs, 180 in total, complete with informative captions, have been carefully chosen to appeal to all ages; partly with help from a younger generation, in the form of Michelle Richardson, Michael's daughter. This volume is a valuable record of a particular period of great change and will appeal to all who have affection for the city.
