SPIN Selling by Neil Rackham Publish by Mcgraw-Hill Education 1988, Hardcover SPIN Selling by Neil Rackham is a seminal work on sales strategy, specifically focused on handling large, complex sales. Published by McGraw-Hill Education in 1988, the book introduces the SPIN framework, a research-backed methodology for successful selling in high-stakes environments. Rackham's research, conducted through thousands of sales calls, highlights the unique dynamics of large sales compared to smaller transactions and presents effective techniques for guiding prospects through the sales process. Key Concepts of the SPIN Model: The SPIN framework is an acronym that outlines a sequence of question types used to identify and build on customer needs: Situation Questions: These are questions to gather basic information about the prospect’s current situation. Rackham notes, however, that seasoned sellers use these sparingly to avoid overwhelming the prospect. Problem Questions: The focus here is on uncovering issues or difficulties that the customer is experiencing. Effective sellers identify problems that they can address with their product or service.
