A Review of SalesHood by Elay Cohen

A Review of SalesHood by Elay Cohen

By Dave Kellogg on December 9, 2014

I recently completed SalesHood by my former Salesforce colleague Elay Cohen and wanted to do a quick book review in this post. Net/net:  I think SalesHood, along with Predictable Revenue (by another former Salesforce leader Aaron Ross) are two of the best books out there on contemporary business-to-business high-technology sales.

Book Review: End of Business as We Know It, Brian Solis

By Paul Greenberg on December 6, 2011

A short, sort of review of Nicholas Carr’s “The Shallows. What Google is Doing to our Brains.”
