They pulled it all together into a field-tested framework that will help you influence change. It's a book for sales professionals and for anyone else–executives, politicians, teachers, attorneys, consultants, parents, etc.–whose work involves influencing others, whether you're "selling" products, services, ideas, advice, or beliefs.
