About Our Business

Mastering Technical Sales started as a vision shared by
Aron Bohlig and John Care back in 2000. Tired of struggling
through yet another "sales" class and reading yet another sales
book focused entirely upon Account Executives they thought "
what if
we wrote the definitive handbook for Sales Engineers?
"

From this thought a manuscript was created and "
Mastering
Technical Sales: The Sales Engineers Handbook
" was published
by
Artech House in 2002. You can purchase the book through the
merchant links on the right of the web page.

The authors have just completed the Second Edition,  published
on September 5th, 2008.
