Each week we'll be sharing an overview of a list of books we think are important for salespeople to read. Some are well known in the profession, some less so. The goal will be to glean whatever valuable information we can from the books — in some cases we may glean little, in other cases we'll all love the book.

All of the books were pre-selected based on our current site contributors having read them in the past.

The Google Calendar below allows you to scroll through the weeks and months (use the little arrows at the top left) to see which books we'll be reviewing which weeks. You can even subscribe to the calendar (bottom-right of the calendar) so you see it without visiting this page again. Click here to see a quick list of the first 18 books/weeks.

We'd like to encourage you to read along and share any insights you have here at the site via our comments, or via your own blog that links back here, so others can hear what you have to say. At any rate, a true professional is always striving to stay sharp in his or her career in terms of knowledge, habits and skills. So feel free to review our calendar and share your suggestions for the weeks beyond those already scheduled.
