Book Reviews

See what our readers are saying.
"In our current times, it is important to venture into new skills and adapt to an ever-changing society. As such, technical experts need to immerse themselves with understanding a solution from a client perspective, understanding a client’s mentality and ability to provide appropriate suggestions. In his book The Art of Technical Closing, Hamed Al Herbawi has been able to demonstrate this transition through a carefully orchestrated set of steps that will enhance one’s own closing skills."

"During my 20 years as a sales trainer, I’ve come across numerous technical sellers from all over the world. If I had to come up with one piece of advice for all of them, it would be to go beyond your rational, technical know-how and build a bridge to the emotional side of your clients. The Art of Technical Closing does exactly that: it shows technical sales professionals an easy and straight-forward way to close deals by building real customer value. A must-read for all those techies who want to bring their knowledge and experience closer to their clients."

"I worked with Mr. Herbawi recently in a very challenging industry that mildly put, is both competitive and highly technical. However, over-promotion and technical malaise was endemic to the industry yet in his mild but assertive solution selling approach, he became highly successful and respected, in an unusually short time. When I asked how he accomplished this, he shared with me the exact same strategy that he will now share with you."

Closing deals is among the most important skills that are essential to assure business continuity and career improvement. Yet, it is not given much attention during the academic years – in almost all technical specialties such as Computer Science and Engineering.

This fact has a shocking impact on us – technical people – as we only learn to focus on solution related issues such as design and implementation. We simply have a problem or a requirement; and we learn how to create a solution to it. That is often not the case in the real world.

Whether you are an Engineer, a Programmer, a pharmacist or in any other technical profession, you will find yourself forced to start dealing with customers in order to progress with your career, and even more if you decided to start your own business.

If you are serious about improving your career, I very much urge you to pay serious attention to improving your sales and deal closing skills. Otherwise, you would find yourself facing unnecessary career challenges.

In this book “The Art of Technical Closing”, you will find a result oriented methodology that can help technical professionals in gaining immense and intensive understanding of the most necessary skills required to start winning deals.

This book will provide you with many shortcuts. You will find the tips and advices that are easy to implement and very effective.

Being a software engineer myself, I tried to be as straightforward as possible.

I wish you a pleasant read & hope that you would benefit from my book.
