About this listen
It is estimated that almost a million jobs will be eliminated in the traditional role of "salesperson" in the next five years in the United States. The signs of change are all around us. Buying processes have been altered in very specific and critical ways. The natural implications are that we must change the way we sell when our buyers change the way they buy from us. The sea change for what has been traditionally called selling has already started and momentum is building. If sales is the engine that drives revenue and subsequently business growth, how are sales leaders and their people to react to the changes driven by technology, regulation and governance in the marketplace? We are entering a new era of sales, and adaptation is imperative for reps, managers, and executives. In Life After the Death of Selling: How to Thrive in the New Era of Sales Tom Searcy lays out for the senior executive, front line sales leader and the salesperson what their roles will be and how to leverage new techniques to not only survive this dramatic change, but to thrive and grow.

Proficiency will separate the highest level of performers from all other sales people. How to Sell in Place changes the way in which professional sales people reach new prospects, sell value and close large sales.

Rather than attempt to "transform" a new culture from the ground up, leaders need to instead spearhead a culture renovation. In Culture Renovation, Kevin Oakes provides tangible, tactical insights drawn from a robust data set and informed by CEOs and HR leaders at many of the world's top companies.

Gap Selling: Getting the Customer to Yes

Story
People don't buy from people they like. No! Your buyer doesn't care about you or your product or service. It's not your job to overcome objections, it's your buyer's. Closing isn't a skill of good salespeople; it's the skill of weak salespeople. Price isn't the main reason salespeople lose the sale. Gap Selling shreds traditional and closely held sales beliefs that have been hurting salespeople for decades. For years, salespeople have embraced a myriad of sales tactics and belief systems that have unknowingly created many of the issues they have been trying to avoid.

The most widely used metaphors in sales are those related to sports, battle, or games. The challenge with this mindset is it requires that one person wins and the other loses. Instead of falling victim to a win-lose approach, what if you shared a common goal with your potential client? How might things change if the client felt that you were more committed to their success than making the sale?
