most CEOs don't concern themselves with actual selling, so this is good

Fanatical Prospecting was a game changer early in my sales career. Still reference it to this day.

The Psychology of Selling - Brian Tracy

I also really like Secrets of Closing the Sale - Zig Ziglar

Maybe I am just a sucker for the old school, but these two books have boosted my sales career more than any other books I have read.

I really liked Zig Ziglar too. The audio book is read by him and is even better because of the southern charm.

Chris Voss is very good. I personally like his mentor Jim Camp, Start with No. Full disclosure, I was trained by Jim.

So BRUH this topic has been beaten to death on this forum.

Never split the difference is the holy grail, and the only book I could fully get through. I find sales books to be the most uninteresting, boring, dull and repetitive jargon.

One that isn't directly sales related but tons of applicable learnings is Only the Paranoid survive by Andy Grove. A wee bit dated but still solid as hell.
