In short, the Fuess Method:
is a way of planting the seed of an idea in your mind through a series of questions that lead you to a logical outcome — and one that you wouldn’t propose if you didn’t think it was a good idea anyway. It’s a unique way of having you take the credit for making your own decision.
It is a methodology derived by many classical sales approaches using concepts and constructs trying to filter all these approaches and methodologies to an easy to-go sales approach.
The book contains an excellent rationale and real-world case studies to demonstrate the Fuess Method and how to implement it across various industries and business sections.
