These books support our main theme that the marketing and sales of complex, technical services are distinctly different from simpler consumer services. The professionals who provide these services earn their livings by developing solutions to complex problems, yet are also asked to participate in selling their services to customers. Because of the human factors in how customers make buying choices, we contend there is art combined with the selling and buying of science. Selling technical professional services consists of two different components, both of which are critical. The first part is the technical content, familiar territory to engineers and applied scientists, based on their schooling, experience, and personality.
