Business Title Offers Retention Tips
	Hot off the press this month is Finders Keepers--—Attracting and Retaining Top Sales Professionals, by Russell J. Riendeau, a veteran executive recruiter. The book offers innovative, insightful ways to attract and keep the “cream of the crop” among sales professionals. As Neil Rackham, author of the best-selling SPIN Selling, says in the Foreword to the book, “There are books on selecting sales people, but no one has ever written about keeping them. Finders Keepers provides a valuable and practical approach to retention of top talent and it deserves to succeed for that alone.”
