An excellent personal coach for salespeople
By Alison Lester
I spent quite a few years using the Beyond Selling Value approach (book by Mark Shonka and Dan Kosch) to help salespeople improve their approach and avoid the "vendor trap". So I couldn't help comparing The SOHO Solution to this book while I read it.
I definitely prefer The SOHO Solution.
First, Tom Abbott doesn't pad the book. Salespeople are busy, and it always felt to me that Shonka and Kosch overwrote their book. Abbott's book says what's necessary, and doesn't waste your time.
Abbott also writes in an extremely engaging way, including good stories about his own trials and errors and successes during his decade-long development of his sales coaching business. He's not spouting theory. He's explaining practice, and he does so in a very open, friendly manner. And with his book he's actually coaching you, as each chapter ends with a task for the week (all of which are very doable, not at all intimidating, and inclined to make you feel "How can I have waited so long to do this?". It's not a book to read in one sitting, but rather a companion for your own personal 21-week course.
The two books have somewhat different target readers, and this has to be taken into account. BSV is designed for people who already have sales strategies but are finding them unproductive. SOHO is designed to help people grow their small business. As such, SOHO spends a lot of time making sure that small business owners understand the questions they need to be asking themselves about their own business, about their niche, about the industries that will be their best target markets, and about how they can differentiate themselves from their competition. BSV really focuses on the questions salespeople need to ask in order to understand their prospects. They place a great amount of emphasis on pre-meeting research into the prospective client, and offer detailed advice on the dozens and dozens of things to consider in an effort to sell to a key decision-maker. Abbott briefly mentions the need to do research on a prospect, while BSV goes into extreme detail. What Abbott does is take a more emotional approach, talking about how the sales process feels to the prospect, and how to make sure that what is happening fits both the values and the businesses of the buyer and the seller.
Both books offer help with scripting calls and helpful language for developing a partnership. What I like about Abbott's approach is that he trusts you to think for yourself. This is what his tasks are all about. It's not spoon-feeding at all, but rather offering the opportunity to think it through and come up with your own way to represent your business. He's a coach as well as a salesman, after all.
BSV talks about the business fit and the solution fit. SOHO talks about how to sell the benefits of your product or service rather than just the features, since people buy benefits. It's great that Abbott spends a good deal of time (but, as I said, not too much) on this important concept, since salespeople everywhere are still going on sales calls and basically saying "Here are our super products and all the things they have and do. They're really cool. Don't you want to buy them?" Since you can't get someone to buy a benefit unless you can make sure it's a benefit that fits their business, then it's clear that asking questions is key. Abbott suggests that asking questions during the first call and the first meeting will be the way to start the relationship off. He also suggests developing a self-assessment document that prospects can fill out. He talks about the difference between relational selling and transactional selling in a helpful way too. (BSV wants you to do massive amounts of research before the call to the decision-maker. Which does make sense too.)
Because SOHO is focused on small businesses, Abbott knows there can be challenges in terms of process and organization. This is one of the ways this book really stands out. Abbott spends a whole chapter on helping small business owners think through the best way to organize their prospecting information and progress. Remarkably, he also spends a chapter on communication and adapting your style to the buyer. The thinking he employs is similar to DISC, and his concise description of how to communicate with different types will no doubt help a lot of people. There's also emphasis near the end of the book on soliciting and using feedback in order to continue improving. How many busy business owners forget the importance of this?
The one area that Abbot doesn't spend much time on, and where BSV goes into great detail, is ways to get around gatekeepers. Shonka and Kosch seem to be targeting large companies who sell to large companies, but the advice applies to small business as well (we want to sell to big companies too!). Gatekeepers are everywhere in the marketplace, and can make it really difficult to get meetings with key decision-makers.
I still give The SOHO Solution an unreserved five stars, though. It's such an enjoyable read, and there's no doubt in my mind that following the weekly tasks will lead to a much more flourishing business for any reader.

Action plan for sales success!
By Nishant Kasibhatla
This is a fantastic book on growing small businesses! The 21 Selling Strategies in the book pretty much nail all the things I need to do to grow my business. What I particularly liked is the layout of the content into a weekly action plan. The action plan takes the pressure off and helps me to zero-in on one aspect of my business at one time. I am very impressed by the content in the book - from discovering your niche to qualifying prospects, from discovering ways to reach customers to studying the competitors, from sales scripts to closing techniques! Each week's strategy is packed with powerful techniques and ends with specific action plan. This is a great book and written in simple language! If you own a business and want to take it to the next level, you will find this book VERY useful.
