Hi, I’m Brian Jeffrey,
a.k.a. The Sales Wizard.

Why this website…

This is my last “hoorah,” my digital legacy. After more than 50 years in sales, sales management, sales training, and sales management consulting, I’m hanging up my wizard’s hat.

Over that time, I have written 20+ e-books and more than 160 articles, and authored “The Sales Wizard’s Secrets of Sales Management,” “The Sales Wizard’s Secrets of Professional Selling,” (see below) as well as the “5-Minute Sales Trainer.” I didn’t want all those resources lost when we shut down our last business (Quintarra Consulting). Hence this website.

Call it what you will – my desire to be of benefit to mankind, (well, sales mankind), wanting to help harried sales managers, or just an oversized ego – but here are a number of resources to help you be even better at your chosen profession, be it sales or sales management.

Successful salespeople do
what unsuccessful salespeople
are simply unwilling to do.

The “Secrets” Books

The Sales Wizard’s Secrets of Sales Management is full of common-sense tips and techniques for managing the small business sales force and is primarily intended for sales managers, salespeople aspiring to become sales managers, business owners, and anyone who is tasked with the challenge of managing salespeople.

Like selling itself, these sales management “secrets” are timeless and every bit as applicable to today’s fast-paced world of sales. They are your keys to becoming an even more effective sales manager. Available on Amazon here.

The Sales Wizard’s Secrets of Professional Selling is a collection of tightly written articles intended for professional salespeople who want to up their game and be the best they can be. The book is full of sales tips and techniques that professional salespeople need to know if they are to lead the pack. Available on Amazon here.

Articles

Most of the articles are a result of my documenting the solutions to challenges my clients were having. Other articles are simply opinion pieces or Wizard gems that I thought were worth documenting.

On the “Articles” page you will find over 160 of these “gems” broadly categorized under three categories:

For Sales Managers
For Salespeople and
On Hiring Salespeople

Each of those three categories have several sub-categories, as you will see on the Articles page.

I welcome your comments, thoughts, or questions. Use the Contact Me page to reach out to me. I’m in my 80s now so it’s best to contact me sooner rather than later. 😊

E-Books for Salespeople
