I always thought Buyology by Martin Lindstrom was a good sales read. Light and a little on the sciency side, but overall very interesting. It is kind of basic, but sometimes a little walk on the back to basics side helps me onto something else.

Idk about sales psychology but I loved The charisma Myth.

Don't ask them about the weather, ask them about their business, industry, and how the initiative you'd be working on with them will affect their career personally.

Make sure the customer wins or has an opportunity to advance their career with what you sell them. Help them to build their resume.
