Best Gifts for Sales Reps, Job Hunters, College Grads (and Yourself!)

Wondering what to give to those on your Christmas list? I can’t help you with the kids’ presents (I’m giving my kids a Ping Pong Table!), but I certainly know that you can change people’s lives with great books and tools that will help them excel in their professional lives. So here are a few recommendations: Christmas gifts

For anyone contemplating a sales role:

Spin Selling by Neil Rackham

For college grads and professionals who are job hunting:

A LinkedIn Profile Tutorial – LinkedIn is the very best social networking site on the net for getting a job or making a contact that can help you in your career. Your friend/wife/hubby needs to be here – you can make it easy for them to do it right.

For sales professionals who are interviewing:

A 30/60/90-Day Sales Plan Template – This little tool/template could get them the offer (or it could be used to get a promotion!):

For sales managers:

Topgrading: How Leading Companies Win by Hiring, Coaching, and Keeping the Best People by Bradford Smart – this is a great book about hiring and how to do it successfully.

Other great ideas:

Amazon Kindle – Wireless Reading Device

Selling Power Magazine

One last thought (this one’s just for you):

What have you done for your career lately? Have you considered hiring a career coach? When I think about it, I have purchased music lessons, horse riding lessons, gymnastics lessons for my girl and sent my son to football and basketball camps. I am investing in their success. It is that important to me. But what do we normally invest in our careers? This is the area where our investment can have a true ROI (return on investment)—in the short-term, as well as in the long-term.
