The Challenger SaleMatthew Dixon & Brent Adamson
What's the secret to sales success? If you're like most business leaders, you'd say it's fundamentally about relationships-and you'd be wrong. The best salespeople don't just build relationships with customers. They challenge them. The need to understand what top-performing reps are doing that their average performing colleagues are not drove Matthew Dixon, Brent Adamson, and their colleagues at Corporate Executive Board to investigate the skills, behaviors, knowledge, and attitudes that matter most for high performance. And what they discovered may be the biggest shock to conventional sales wisdom in decades. Based on an exhaustive study of thousands of sales reps across multiple industries and geographies, The Challenger Sale argues that classic relationship building is a losing approach, especially when it comes to selling complex, large-scale business-to-business solutions. The authors' study found that every sales rep in the world falls into one of five distinct profiles, and while all of these types of reps can deliver average sales performance, only one-the Challenger- delivers consistently high performance. Instead of bludgeoning customers with endless facts and features about their company and products, Challengers approach customers with unique insights about how they can save or make money. They tailor their sales message to the customer's specific needs and objectives. Rather than acquiescing to the customer's every demand or objection, they are assertive, pushing back when necessary and taking control of the sale. The things that make Challengers unique are replicable and teachable to the average sales rep. Once you understand how to identify the Challengers in your organization, you can model their approach and embed it throughout your sales force. The authors explain how almost any average-performing rep, once equipped with the right tools, can successfully reframe customers' expectations and deliver a distinctive purchase experience that drives higher levels of customer loyalty and, ultimately, greater growth.

Invisible InfluenceJonah Berger
In Invisible Influence , the New York Times bestselling author of Contagious explores the subtle influences that affect the decisions we make—from what we buy, to the careers we choose, to what we eat. “Jonah Berger has done it again: written a fascinating book that brims with ideas and tools for how to think about the world.” —Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit If you’re like most people, you think your individual tastes and opinions drive your choices and behaviors. You wear a certain jacket because you liked how it looked. You picked a particular career because you found it interesting. The notion that our choices are driven by our own personal thoughts and opinions is patently obvious. Right? Wrong. Without our realizing it, other people’s behavior has a huge influence on everything we do at every moment of our lives, from the mundane to the momentous. Even strangers have an impact on our judgments and decisions: our attitudes toward a welfare policy shift if we’re told it is supported by Democrats versus Republicans (even though the policy is the same). But social influence doesn’t just lead us to do the same things as others. In some cases we imitate others around us. But in other cases we avoid particular choices or behaviors because other people are doing them. We stop listening to a band because they go mainstream. We skip buying the minivan because we don’t want to look like a soccer mom. By understanding how social influence works, we can decide when to resist and when to embrace it—and learn how we can use this knowledge to exercise more control over our own behavior. In Invisible Influence , Jonah Berger “is consistently entertaining, applying science to real life in surprising ways and explaining research through narrative. His book fascinates because it opens up the moving parts of a mysterious machine, allowing readers to watch them in action” ( Publishers Weekly ).

WantingLuke Burgis
* Financial Times Business Book of the Month * Next Big Idea Club Nominee * One of Bloomberg 's "52 New Books That Top Business Leaders Are Recommending" * Aleo Review of Books 2022 Book of the Year * A groundbreaking exploration of why we want what we want, and a toolkit for freeing ourselves from chasing unfulfilling desires. Gravity affects every aspect of our physical being, but there’s a psychological force just as powerful—yet almost nobody has heard of it. It’s responsible for bringing groups of people together and pulling them apart, making certain goals attractive to some and not to others, and fueling cycles of anxiety and conflict. In Wanting , Luke Burgis draws on the work of French polymath René Girard to bring this hidden force to light and reveals how it shapes our lives and societies. According to Girard, humans don’t desire anything independently. Human desire is mimetic —we imitate what other people want. This affects the way we choose partners, friends, careers, clothes, and vacation destinations. Mimetic desire is responsible for the formation of our very identities. It explains the enduring relevancy of Shakespeare’s plays, why Peter Thiel decided to be the first investor in Facebook, and why our world is growing more divided as it becomes more connected. Wanting also shows that conflict does not arise because of our differences—it comes from our sameness. Because we learn to want what other people want, we often end up competing for the same things. Ignoring our large similarities, we cling to our perceived differences. Drawing on his experience as an entrepreneur, teacher, and student of classical philosophy and theology, Burgis shares tactics that help turn blind wanting into intentional wanting--not by trying to rid ourselves of desire, but by desiring differently. It’s possible to be more in control of the things we want, to achieve more independence from trends and bubbles, and to find more meaning in our work and lives. The future will be shaped by our desires. Wanting shows us how to desire a better one.

ContagiousJonah Berger
The New York Times bestseller that explains why certain products and ideas become popular. “Jonah Berger knows more about what makes information ‘go viral’ than anyone in the world.” —Daniel Gilbert, author of the bestseller Stumbling on Happiness What makes things popular? If you said advertising, think again. People don’t listen to advertisements, they listen to their peers. But why do people talk about certain products and ideas more than others? Why are some stories and rumors more infectious? And what makes online content go viral? Wharton marketing professor Jonah Berger has spent the last decade answering these questions. He’s studied why New York Times articles make the paper’s own Most E-mailed list, why products get word of mouth, and how social influence shapes everything from the cars we buy to the clothes we wear to the names we give our children. In Contagious , Berger reveals the secret science behind word-of-mouth and social transmission. Discover how six basic principles drive all sorts of things to become contagious, from consumer products and policy initiatives to workplace rumors and YouTube videos. Learn how a luxury steakhouse found popularity through the lowly cheesesteak, why anti-drug commercials might have actually increased drug use, and why more than 200 million consumers shared a video about one of the most boring products there is: a blender. Contagious provides specific, actionable techniques for helping information spread—for designing messages, advertisements, and content that people will share. Whether you’re a manager at a big company, a small business owner trying to boost awareness, a politician running for office, or a health official trying to get the word out, Contagious will show you how to make your product or idea catch on.

Diffusion of Innovations, 5th EditionEverett M. Rogers
Now in its fifth edition, Diffusion of Innovations is a classic work on the spread of new ideas. In this renowned book, Everett M. Rogers, professor and chair of the Department of Communication & Journalism at the University of New Mexico, explains how new ideas spread via communication channels over time. Such innovations are initially perceived as uncertain and even risky. To overcome this uncertainty, most people seek out others like themselves who have already adopted the new idea. Thus the diffusion process consists of a few individuals who first adopt an innovation, then spread the word among their circle of acquaintances—a process which typically takes months or years. But there are exceptions: use of the Internet in the 1990s, for example, may have spread more rapidly than any other innovation in the history of humankind. Furthermore, the Internet is changing the very nature of diffusion by decreasing the importance of physical distance between people. The fifth edition addresses the spread of the Internet, and how it has transformed the way human beings communicate and adopt new ideas.

Creadores de hitsDerek Thompson
Los grandes hits no surgen de la nada, no se vuelven "virales" a partir de su mera calidad y la publicidad de boca en boca. Detrás de cada éxito hay una historia secreta de poder, influencia, sistemas de transmisión y admiradores apasionados.

Derek Thompson revela el funcionamiento de los mercados culturales que moldean nuestras vidas de maneras insospechadas. Combinando la investigación periodística con la divulgación y el análisis, el autor muestra que la originalidad no basta, que el "buen gusto" indiscutible no existe y que la combinación de circunstancias favorables, la empatía con las necesidades de la gente y el poder de capturar su atención son tan importantes como la perseverancia y el talento de los creadores. De la pintura impresionista al futuro de Facebook, de La Guerra de las Galaxias a Cincuenta sombras de Grey , de los primeros éxitos del rock and roll a las series televisivas más prestigiosas, Creadores de hits cuenta la historia fascinante de por qué las obras y productos se vuelven imprescindibles.

The JOLT EffectMatthew Dixon & Ted McKenna
From the bestselling co-author of The Challenger Sale , a paradigm-shattering approach to overcoming customer indecision and closing more sales In sales, the worst thing you can hear from a customer isn’t “no.” It’s “I need to think about it.” When this happens, deeply entrenched business advice says to double down on your efforts to sell a buyer on all the ways they might win by choosing you and your business. But this approach backfires dramatically. Why? Because it completely gets wrong the primary driver behind purchasing decision-making: once purchase intent is established, customers no longer care about succeeding . What they really care about is not failing. For years, sales expert Matthew Dixon has been busting longstanding business myths. Now in The JOLT Effect , he and co-author Ted McKenna turn their trademark analysis and latest research to the vital and growing problem of customer indecision—and offer a shocking new approach that turns conventional wisdom on its head. Drawing on a brand-new, first-of-its-kind study of more than two and a half million sales conversations from across industry, they reveal the surprising truth that high-performing sales reps grasp and their average-performing peers don’t: only by addressing the customer’s fear of failure can you get indecisive buyers to go from verbally committing to actually pulling the trigger. Packed with robust data, counterintuitive insights, and practical guidance, The JOLT Effect is the playbook for any salesperson or sales leader who wants to close the gap between customer intent and action—and close more sales.

ObjectionsJeb Blount & Mark Hunter
There are few one-size-fits-all solutions in sales. Context matters. Complex sales are different from one-call closes. B2B is different than B2C. Prospects, territories, products, industries, companies, and sales processes are all different. There is little black and white in the sales profession. Except for objections . There is democracy in objections. Every salesperson must endure many NOs in order to get to YES. Objections don’t care or consider: Who you are What you sell How you sell If you are new to sales or a veteran If your sales cycle is long or short – complex or transactional For as long as salespeople have been asking buyers to make commitments, buyers have been throwing out objections. And, for as long as buyers have been saying no, salespeople have yearned for the secrets to getting past those NOs. Following in the footsteps of his blockbuster bestsellers Fanatical Prospecting and Sales EQ , Jeb Blount’s Objections is a comprehensive and contemporary guide that engages your heart and mind. In his signature right-to-the-point style, Jeb pulls no punches and slaps you in the face with the cold, hard truth about what’s really holding you back from closing sales and reaching your income goals. Then he pulls you in with examples, stories, and lessons that teach powerful human-influence frameworks for getting past NO - even with the most challenging objections. What you won’t find, though, is old school techniques straight out of the last century. No bait and switch schemes, no sycophantic tie-downs, no cheesy scripts, and none of the contrived closing techniques that leave you feeling like a phony, destroy relationships, and only serve to increase your buyers’ resistance. Instead, you’ll learn a new psychology for turning-around objections and proven techniques that work with today’s more informed, in control, and skeptical buyers. Inside the pages of Objections , you’ll gain deep insight into: How to get past the natural human fear of NO and become rejection proof The science of resistance and why buyers throw out objections Human influence frameworks that turn you into a master persuader The key to avoiding embarrassing red herrings that derail sales calls How to leverage the “Magical Quarter of a Second” to instantly gain control of your emotions when you get hit with difficult objections Proven objection turn-around frameworks that give you confidence and control in virtually every sales situation How to easily skip past reflex responses on cold calls and when prospecting How to move past brush-offs to get to the next step, increase pipeline velocity, and shorten the sales cycle The 5 Step Process for Turning Around Buying Commitment Objections and closing the sale Rapid Negotiation techniques that deliver better terms and higher prices As you dive into these powerful insights, and with each new chapter, you’ll gain greater and greater confidence in your ability to face and effectively handle objections in any selling situation. And, with this new-found confidence, your success and income will soar.

It is paramount, MIT professor Sinan Aral says, that we recognize the outsize effect social media has on us—on our politics, our economy, and even our personal health—in order to steer today’s social technology toward its great promise while avoiding the ways it can pull us apart. Drawing on decades of his own research and business experience, Aral goes under the hood of the most powerful social networks to tackle the critical question of just how much social media actually shapes our choices, for better or worse. He shows how the tech behind social media offers the same set of behavior influencing levers to everyone who hopes to change the way we think and act—from Russian hackers to brand marketers—which is why its consequences affect everything from elections to business, dating to health. Along the way, he covers a wide array of topics, including how network effects fuel Twitter’s and Facebook’s massive growth, the neuroscience of how social media affects our brains, the real consequences of fake news, the power of social ratings, and the impact of social media on our kids. In mapping out strategies for being more thoughtful consumers of social media, The Hype Machine offers the definitive guide to understanding and harnessing for good the technology that has redefined our world overnight.

** OVER 1,000,000 COPIES SOLD in the $100M SERIES!! ** Companion to the $100M Offers, which has been the Number 1 Amazon BEST SELLER for over THREE YEARS! I took home more in a year than the CEOs of McDonalds, IKEA, Ford, Motorola, and Yahoo….combined….as a kid in my twenties….using the $100M Offer method. It works. And it will work for you. Not that long ago though, my business had gotten so bad that I literally couldn’t even give my services away for free. At the end of each month, I would look at my bank account hoping to see progress (but there wasn’t). I knew something had to change...but what? Over the next 48 months, I went from losing money to making $36 for every $1 spent. In that time period, we generated over $120,000,000 across four different industries: service, e-commerce, software, and brick & mortar. But, unlike everyone else, we didn’t have great funnels, great ads, or a wealthy niche. In fact, we didn’t even send emails until we had crossed $50M in sales(!). Instead, we were able to do this one thing really well….we created offers so good, people felt stupid saying no. Here’s exactly what this book will show you how to do: How To Charge a Lot More Than You Currently Are… a- The Tiny Market Big Money Process we use to laser focus on niche markets overflowing with cash b- The “Unfair” Pricing formula….how we 100x’d our pricing (and got more people to say yes….for real) c- The Value Flip...so you never get price compared again (that’s a promise) d- The Virtuous Cycle of Price...use it to outspend your competition (for good) while using your product to attract the best talent. How To Make Your Product So Good, Prospects Find A Way To Pay For It a- The Unbeatable Value Equation….to make what you sell worth more than your prospects have ever received b- The Delivery Cube….to make delivering your products and services cost less but provide more c- The Trim & Stack Hack….to maximize profit using the absolute best delivery methods. (This has never been shared publicly and was how we made $17M in profit on $28M in revenue in a year when I was 28 years old). How To Enhance Your Offer So Much, Prospects Buy Without Hesitating a- The Scarcity Stack….how to use the three different types of scarcity in every offer you make (without lying) to get people to buy the moment you ask b- The “Everyday” Urgency Blueprint... to get prospects to buy RIGHT NOW, using everyday life to create real, ethical time pressure c- Unbeatable Bonuses...and watch your prospects' hesitations melt away as they begin reading their credit cards to you before you even finish! d- God-mode Guarantees...so good they make anyone say yes (even people who would never normally consider buying). I’ll show you how to stack and layer all 4 types of guarantees together. I even give you my 13 favorite guarantees word-for-word to swipe for yourself. e- Magic Naming Formula to get the absolute highest response rates and conversion rates from everything you do to get new clients and so much more… The methods contained within this book are so simple, so instantaneous, and so effective, it’s as if they work by magic. If you implement even one tactic in this book, you’ll see the change in your prospects' demeanor. And you’ll know the $100M Offer method worked when you start hearing “What do I need to do to move forward?” ...before you even ask for the sale. If you want to get more prospects to reply to your ads for less advertising dollars and get them to say YES to breathtaking prices...then ADD TO CART, use its contents, and see for yourself.

Robert Cialdini's Influence the Psychology of PersuasionTurbo-Learning
A Comprehensive Book Review of Influence Influence, a classic book, written by Dr. Robert B. Cialdini, explains the psychology of persuasion. Though this book focuses on the persuasion tactics of marketing and sales organizations, the principles it puts forth apply to all persuasion situations. Influence tries to explain the psychology of why people say “yes” and gives practical guidelines on how to apply these findings in daily life situations. Dr. Cialdini received his graduate and postgraduate training from the University of North Carolina and Columbia University. He is considered to be one of the top experts in the field of the study of influence and persuasion. This book is a result of his thirty-five years of rigorous, evidence-based research. He even did a three-year long experiment in which he took on several roles to test his theories. His motivation for studying this behavior was that he had gotten tired of being taken advantage of everywhere he went. He wanted to know why he, a reasonably intelligent man, was so susceptible to sales pressures. He presents his ideas asking his readers to “learn what people are doing to try to exploit you so you won’t fall for it.” Dr. Cialdini relies on two main sources for his conclusions: social experiments and advice from compliance professionals. As a researcher, he used the participant observer approach and participated in the activity he wished to observe – as a potential employee or trainee. Drawing from his extensive research in the field of social psychology, this book explores six “rules of thumb,” or principles, of persuasion. Although there are thousands of different tactics that compliance practitioners employ to produce an affirmative response, according to Cialdini, the majority fall within six basic categories which he terms “weapons of influence.” Each of these categories is governed by a fundamental psychological principle that directs human behavior and forms the basis of a chapter in the book.

I know because it’s all I’ve done in my adult career. I crossed $100M net worth by age 31. Today: I buy and scale companies at my family office Acquisition.com. My side hustle: I make content showing how we do it. My joke life goal is to be the most jacked billionaire. My real-life goal is to die with nothing left to give. A little more about the book if you want that… A Money Model is a deliberate sequence of offers. It’s what you offer, when you offer, and how you offer it to make as much money as you can as fast as you can. Ideally, to make enough money from one customer to get and service at least two more customers in less than thirty days. And it rarely looks clean, but I break $100M Money Models into three stages: Stage I: Get Cash - Attraction Offers get more customers for less Stage II: Get More Cash - Upsell & Downsell Offers make more money from them faster Stage III: Get The Most Cash - Continuity Offers maximize their total money spent In real life, it happens like this... First, I get customers reliably. Then, I make sure they pay for themselves reliably. Then, I make sure they pay for other customers reliably. Then, I start maximizing each customer’s long-term value. Then, I spend as many advertising dollars as I can to print as much money as possible. This is my cookbook for making money. It took me over a decade to learn all these tactics. It’ll take you three hours. Use responsibly. Enjoy. If you want to learn more and make more money for your business...then ADD TO CART, use its contents, and see for yourself.

Pre-SuasionRobert Cialdini
The acclaimed New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller from Robert Cialdini—“the foremost expert on effective persuasion” ( Harvard Business Review )—explains how it’s not necessarily the message itself that changes minds, but the key moment before you deliver that message. What separates effective communicators from truly successful persuaders? With the same rigorous scientific research and accessibility that made his Influence an iconic bestseller, Robert Cialdini explains how to prepare people to be receptive to a message before they experience it. Optimal persuasion is achieved only through optimal pre -suasion. In other words, to change “minds” a pre-suader must also change “states of mind.” Named a “Best Business Books of 2016” by the Financial Times , and “compelling” by The Wall Street Journal , Cialdini’s Pre-Suasion draws on his extensive experience as the most cited social psychologist of our time and explains the techniques a person should implement to become a master persuader. Altering a listener’s attitudes, beliefs, or experiences isn’t necessary, says Cialdini—all that’s required is for a communicator to redirect the audience’s focus of attention before a relevant action. From studies on advertising imagery to treating opiate addiction, from the annual letters of Berkshire Hathaway to the annals of history, Cialdini outlines the specific techniques you can use on online marketing campaigns and even effective wartime propaganda. He illustrates how the artful diversion of attention leads to successful pre-suasion and gets your targeted audience primed and ready to say, “Yes.” His book is “an essential tool for anyone serious about science based business strategies…and is destined to be an instant classic. It belongs on the shelf of anyone in business, from the CEO to the newest salesperson” ( Forbes ).

Phishing for PhoolsGeorge A. Akerlof & Robert J. Shiller
Why the free-market system encourages so much trickery even as it creates so much good Ever since Adam Smith, the central teaching of economics has been that free markets provide us with material well-being, as if by an invisible hand. In Phishing for Phools , Nobel Prize–winning economists George Akerlof and Robert Shiller deliver a fundamental challenge to this insight, arguing that markets harm as well as help us. As long as there is profit to be made, sellers will systematically exploit our psychological weaknesses and our ignorance through manipulation and deception. Rather than being essentially benign and always creating the greater good, markets are inherently filled with tricks and traps and will "phish" us as "phools." Phishing for Phools therefore strikes a radically new direction in economics, based on the intuitive idea that markets both give and take away. Akerlof and Shiller bring this idea to life through dozens of stories that show how phishing affects everyone, in almost every walk of life. We spend our money up to the limit, and then worry about how to pay the next month's bills. The financial system soars, then crashes. We are attracted, more than we know, by advertising. Our political system is distorted by money. We pay too much for gym memberships, cars, houses, and credit cards. Drug companies ingeniously market pharmaceuticals that do us little good, and sometimes are downright dangerous. Phishing for Phools explores the central role of manipulation and deception in fascinating detail in each of these areas and many more. It thereby explains a paradox: why, at a time when we are better off than ever before in history, all too many of us are leading lives of quiet desperation. At the same time, the book tells stories of individuals who have stood against economic trickery—and how it can be reduced through greater knowledge, reform, and regulation.

Crystallizing Public Opinion (Original Classic Edition)Edward Bernays
A seminal work on how public opinion is created and shaped, Edward Bernays' 1923 classic Crystallizing Public Opinion set down the principles that corporations and government have used to influence public attitudes over the past century. With his view that the public behaves like herds of animals, Bernays outlines how to control the masses in whatever way the influencer chooses. With a glimpse into the world of propaganda and advertising, he shows how ideas as different as eating bacon for breakfast and preferring women to be thin were put into our heads. By adapting the ideas that Bernays put forth in this book, governments and advertisers have been able to “regiment the mind.” Bernays’ work explains a large part of the popularity of today’s TV news shout-fest and angry social media posts. Bernays wrote, “crowds love a contest.” This dynamic fuels the hostile and sarcastic comment chains that populate Twitter and Facebook and taps into what Bernays called “the ‘herd’ point of view,” which results in mass audiences, mass products and mass-media events. Bernays was named as one of the 100 most influential Americans of the 20th Century by Life magazine. He counted among his clients the American Tobacco Company, several U.S. presidents and the opponents of the Guatemalan revolution.

The Happiness IndustryWilliam Davies
“Deeply researched and pithily argued.” — New York Magazine “A brilliant, and sometimes eerie, dissection” of ‘the science of happiness’ and the modern-day commercialization of our most private emotions ( Vice ) Why are we so obsessed with measuring happiness? In winter 2014, a Tibetan monk lectured the world leaders gathered at Davos on the importance of Happiness. The recent DSM-5, the manual of all diagnosable mental illnesses, for the first time included shyness and grief as treatable diseases. Happiness has become the biggest idea of our age, a new religion dedicated to well-being. Here, political economist William Davies shows how this philosophy, first pronounced by Jeremy Bentham in the 1780s, has dominated the political debates that have delivered neoliberalism. From a history of business strategies of how to get the best out of employees, to the increased level of surveillance measuring every aspect of our lives; from why experts prefer to measure the chemical in the brain than ask you how you are feeling, to why Freakonomics tells us less about the way people behave than expected, The Happiness Industry is an essential guide to the marketization of modern life. Davies shows that the science of happiness is less a science than an extension of hyper-capitalism.

Gap SellingKeenan
Die Menschen kaufen nicht etwa von Leuten, die sie mögen. Nein! Dem Käufer sind Sie, Ihr Produkt oder Ihre Dienstleistung egal. Es ist nicht Ihre Aufgabe, Einwände zu überwinden, sondern vielmehr die des Käufers. Das Abschließen ist nicht eine Fähigkeit von guten Verkäufern, sondern von schwachen Verkäufern. Der Preis ist nicht der Hauptgrund, warum Verkäufer ein Geschäft verlieren. Lösungsorientiertes Verkaufen räumt mit traditionellen und fest verankerten Verkaufsüberzeugungen auf, die Verkäufern seit Jahrzehnten zum Nachteil gereichen. Jahrelang haben Vertriebsmitarbeiter eine Vielzahl von Verkaufstaktiken und Glaubenssätzen angewandt, die unwissentlich viele der Probleme verursacht haben, die sie zu vermeiden versuchten, wie z. B. lange Verkaufszyklen, Preiseinwände, ausbleibende Entscheidungen, Interessenten wenden sich ab, zusätzliche Anforderungen in letzter Minute, und vieles mehr. Erfolg im Verkauf erfordert mehr als eine Reihe von Taktiken. Vertriebsleute müssen das Spiel des Verkaufens verstehen, wie der Verkauf funktioniert und was der Käufer durchläuft, um zu seiner Entscheidung zu gelangen, zu kaufen (Veränderung) oder nicht zu kaufen (keine Veränderung). Gap Selling ist ein Buch, welches das Spiel ändert und den Verkaufs-IQ von Vertriebsorganisationen überall auf der Welt erhöhen soll. In seinem unverblümten und respektlosen Stil räumt Keenan mit den müden alten Verkaufsmythen auf, die für die frustrierenden Verkaufsprobleme von heute verantwortlich sind, und zeigt einen verblüffend wirkungsvollen neuen Weg auf, mit Käufern in Beziehung zu kommen. Die heutige Vertriebswelt ist übersät mit verklärten Auftragnehmern, die einem frustrierten Käufer gefügig und nicht in der Lage sind, den Verkauf zu beeinflussen und einen Wert zu schaffen. Lösungsorientiertes Verkaufen ändert das Drehbuch und kreiert Verkaufsleute mit großem Einfluss in jeder Phase des Kaufprozesses, die in der Lage sind, die wichtigsten Kriterien im Verkauf zu beeinflussen: Kürzere VerkaufszyklenGesteigerte UmsätzeErhöhte GeschäftswerteHöhere ErfolgsquotenWeniger negative EntscheidungenMehr Kontakteund zufriedenere Käufer Lösungsorientiertes Verkaufen erhöht den Verkaufs-IQ der Vertriebswelt und macht Auftragnehmer zu Beeinflussern im Verkauf. Allgemeine Bewertungen "Von praktischen Tipps und Strategien über die Einstellung von Vertriebsmitarbeitern für Lösungsorientiertes Verkaufen bis hin zum Management entsprechender Vertriebsteams bietet dieses Buch alles, was man über Lösungsorientiertes Verkaufen wissen muss. Für die meisten Verkaufsleute wäre es bestimmt ratsamer, dieses Buch 20 Mal zu lesen als 20 andere Bücher zum Thema Vertrieb jeweils nur einmal. Doch dieses Buch ist nicht nur für Verkäufer. Es ist ein Buch, von dem Marketingfachleute, Kundenbetreuungsteams und Wirtschaftsführer gleichermaßen profitieren können – es beschreibt die bessere Art, Geschäfte zu machen. Tatsächlich ist es ein Buch, das ich im Laufe meiner Karriere noch viele Male lesen werde." --Caleb Malik, Verkaufsleiter bei SmartBug Media "Wenn mein Gedächtnis plötzlich gelöscht würde und ich im Verkauf wieder von vorn anfangen müsste, und ich hätte nur ein einziges Lehrmittel zur Verfügung, um mich zu entwickeln, dann wäre es dieses Buch." --Casper Fopp, Bereichsleiter Umsatz bei Wondersign
