Succeed Without "Selling"

The more you think about selling, the less you will sell

The truth is you can't sell anyone anything. Instead of "selling," try being curious. Ask, truly listen, and connect the dots. Get out of 'sales brain' and into 'curious brain.'

Synopsis

Most small business owners, and salespeople, are using outdated selling methods and wondering why they aren't more successful. Succeed Without "Selling" addresses the changes to the sales landscape, including how the ABCs of sales have changed.

This book explores every aspect of the sales process, from target market identification to account management. And because there is so much misinformation out there, I've included chapters specifically for sales managers, direct sellers, and service providers.

The goal of this book is to provide sales professionals and small business owners with the realities of today's sales environment with tools they can use to improve their processes, and therefore, their results.

Sales arguments

The truth about what works, and doesn't work, when selling your product or service.
Best practices for every aspect of sales.
Scripts, processes, and forms the reader can use immediately

"It’s a new economy. The “Winter” economy as proposed by the late Chet Holmes. Business approaches that worked in the Fall economy will not work in the Winter economy. Diane has done an amazing job of breaking down the sales and sales management process for these times. Her approach is client centric and focuses on how to serve the client rather than how to close them. And by doing so, create long lasting and profitable relationships. This book is a must read for anyone who is involved in the art of selling. And if you own a business, you are selling! Without a doubt reading this book will be a worthy investment of your time!"

	1106 Design, LLC Dear Author, You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t know that it’s no longer necessary to work with a publisher—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and deduct more costs on the back end whenever a book is sold. 1106 Design is an author services company. We provide all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher to turn your manuscript into a market-ready book—editing, cover design, interior layout, proofreading, eBook formatting, and more—at the traditional publisher level. Unlike a publisher, we’ll help you obtain print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name so that you earn, in most cases, several dollars more for every book sold instead of a measly “royalty.” We’ll customize a package of services to suit your exact needs at affordable prices ranging from $4,000 to $10,000, depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity. And we’ll manage all the intricacies of book production, so you don’t have to. After this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us. If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. 1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau.
