Srinivasan, from Chakrath Consultants (chakrathks£yahoo.com) is not about accounting but selling - The First 30 Days of my Sales Career. In your initial days in this profession, you will suddenly realise the enormity of the learning required as sales professionals need to develop skills which span the entire spectrum of business management capabilities, writes Ra)eev Bakshi in his foreword. "These range from basic communication skills, to people management, to commercial and even marketing skills. It is an arduous and complicated learning process."

For, "if you feel shy or hesitant, you will be the loser." Each day reveals its lessons to the eager 'Chin' and the book has useful quotes and apt illustrations. The senior contributes a lot to the learning process in terms of different styles he or she adopts in the market, such as, "patience, aggression, flexibility, assertiveness, problem -solving, guidance, innovation," and so forth. A book that can make you want to change your profession - from auditing to selling!
