Linda Richardson new book,Changing the Sales Conversation: Connect, Collaborate, and Close is one of the few sales books that I have read that puts an emphasis from a Service Dominant Perspective (SD-Logic) versus selling from a Good Dominant Logic (GD-Logic) position. It is the new sales conversation that had to happen.

Linda is the Founder and Executive Chairwoman of Richardson, a global sales training business. As a recognized leader in the industry, she has won the coveted Stevie Award for Lifetime Achievement in Sales Excellence for 2006 and in 2007 she was identified by Training Industry, Inc. as one of the “Top 20 Most Influential Training Professionals.”

Linda is credited with the movement to Consultative Selling, captured in the book Perfect Selling, which is the cornerstone of Richardson’s methodology. Other innovations Linda has spearheaded in the sales training industry are: development of a comprehensive, integrated curriculum dedicated exclusively to sales, commitment to customization vs. generic training, and development of an interactive coaching-type training methodology.
