Selling to CEOs

[dru-man]

I'm looking for info, books perhaps, from copywriters or sales strategists who've offered sound advice/strategies on marketing and selling consulting services to executives. Or maybe someone here has a few tips from experience?

This is to try and find some clarity for a potential client (I'm a copywriter), so I'm just researching here at the moment.

Asked on FB and was referred to a book called "Selling To Vito," so going to start there.

But I'd be handicapping myself if I didn't throw the question out to the fastlaners too!

Thanks in advance
