If you are looking for a unique gift or a way to say thank you to your staff, team or customers, try something different. Business books are something I have used for years with great response and here are some ideas from me and others to possibly fit your shopping lists. This is not only a great gift but a resource for improvement in the New Year.
Customer Gift Books
Do you know the problems and challenges your clients face? Try sending them a book to help meet the challenge. You could also give them an inspirational book, a Leadership Classic, or simply one that looks good on a coffee table. This lets the customer know you listen to all their business issues and not just the sales areas your product or service fits. In the last paragraph of this post are links to book gift ideas for you to consider.
Employee Gift Books
To motivate your sales staff, I suggest my newly released book The Sales Messenger (now also available in e-book).
If you would like to build a gift basket of books on this topic, you might also want to check out the Top 10 Books About Sales List released in October by Small Business Trends. Or if you want to build an educational library at various sales offices, consider many of the books written by respected sales authors who I have featured on this blog by checking out video posts starting in August. Here are a few more classic sales and motivation books I recommend that are not on any of the other lists mentioned here:
- 22 Life Changing Classics
- Passionate Performance
- Leading an Inspired Life
- The Nature of Excellence
- Who Moved My Cheese
If you want to motivate other company employees or if you do not know a particular customer problem area, consider the books and tapes listed in my guest post for Tremendous Life Books or their list of Tremendous Motivational Books. Below are lists of leadership and management books or other business gift ideas that you may find helpful in various business areas you wish to consider for customers or employees:
