More About the Book Don authored and published a book entitled, 'KEEPING THE FUNNEL FULL' based on his long and successful selling career. This book, a powerful selling tool, achieved Best Seller status in February, 2009. “KEEPING THE FUNNEL FULL details a wide range of time tested processes, tactics, and strategies that will enable any sales professional to obtain more meetings and close more business. Using real life experiences from his career, Thomson bridges the gap between the clinical, ‘how to’ and the ‘overly simplistic’ approaches to this topic. The Charlotte story is an example of a major victory thanks to some common sense and flexible action while being level locked throughout the campaign. The concept of empowering the screening source is vintage Thomson at his best – a chapter worth the price of the book and a process that Don developed uniquely and still practices to this day. Read the book, absorb the content, implement the concepts, make more sales and watch your FUNNEL grow.” Fran Moynihan Vice President, Sales Fujitsu Transaction Solutions Inc.
