DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat does it mean to be a man?-Difficult question to answer isn't it? This is my story and my experiences as I was looking for answers to this question. Some men will face a crossroad and get stuck. Some men will continue on the same path that they have always traveled. A few men will get to a place, where it has gotten bad enough, to want to walk down a different road. My reason for writing this book is to discuss the following: What are these crossroads? What are the signs? What are the steps to follow a different road? All I can do is share what I experienced, and what works and what does not work. I also have the teachings I learned from hundreds of men that I have been blessed to be with and work with over these years. I share with you what the Elders taught me and what I have learned from over 20 years of leading men's retreats all over the United States. Along the way, I will pass on some of my dad, Greywolf's teachings. I'm not a therapist, physiologist, pastor, social worker or part of the healthcare community. What I am, is a man who heard his wake up call. And with the help of a group of men began a new journey into becoming a different man. Part of my call was to become a men's retreat leader author, speaker, teacher, facilitator and coach. After many years of doing my own work and leading men's retreats, I discovered there are 7 crossroads a man will face in his life. I do not claim to have all the answers because I cannot provide them.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat do winners of major sales do differently than the sellers who almost won, but ultimately came in second place? Mike Schultz and John Doerr, bestselling authors and world-renowned sales experts, set out to find the answer. They studied more than 700 business-to-business purchases made by buyers who represented a total of $3.1 billion in annual purchasing power. When they compared the winners to the second-place finishers, they found surprising results. Not only do sales winners sell differently, they sell radically differently, than the second-place finishers. In recent years, buyers have increasingly seen products and services as replaceable. You might think this would mean that the sale goes to the lowest bidder. Not true! A new breed of seller—the insight seller—is winning the sale with strong prices and margins even in the face of increasing competition and commoditization. In Insight Selling, Schultz and Doerr share the surprising results of their research on what sales winners do differently, and outline exactly what you need to do to transform yourself and your team into insight sellers. They introduce a simple three-level model based on what buyers say tip the scales in favor of the winners: Level 1 "Connect." Winners connect the dots between customer needs and company solutions, while also connecting with buyers as people. Level 2 "Convince." Winners convince buyers that they can achieve maximum return, that the risks are acceptable, and that the seller is the best choice among all options. Level 3 "Collaborate." Winners collaborate with buyers by bringing new ideas to the table, delivering new ideas and insights, and working with buyers as a team. They also found that much of the popular and current advice given to sellers can damage sales results. Insight Selling is both a strategic and tactical guide that will separate the good advice from the bad, and teach you how to put the three levels of selling to work to inspire buyers, influence their agendas, and maximize value. If you want to find yourself and your team in the winner's circle more often, this book is a must-read.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTrue or false? In selling high-value products or services: 'closing' increases your chance of success; it is essential to describe the benefits of your product or service to the customer; objection handling is an important skill; open questions are more effective than closed questions. All false, says this provocative book. Neil Rackham and his team studied more than 35,000 sales calls made by 10,000 sales people in 23 countries over 12 years. Their findings revealed that many of the methods developed for selling low-value goods just don‘t work for major sales. Rackham went on to introduce his SPIN-Selling method. SPIN describes the whole selling process: Situation questions Problem questions Implication questions Need-payoff questions SPIN-Selling provides you with a set of simple and practical techniques which have been tried in many of today‘s leading companies with dramatic improvements to their sales performance.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor the consultative salesperson, closing can be a tricky business. Complete with effective closing phrases and questions, this indispensable guide lays out a step-by-step plan for sealing the deal and gives readers the tools they need to make the sale--and keep their customers. Traditionally, strategies for closing sales have involved pressuring customers, countering their stalling tactics and overcoming their objections--behaviours that run in direct opposition to the philosophy of the consultative salesperson. On the other hand, consultative salespeople, afraid of damaging the relationship they've nurtured by appearing too aggressive, hope the deal will close itself--something which rarely, if ever, happens. Consultative Closing provides the solution, breaking the closing process into small, actionable steps that help the salesperson gain gradual buy-in and establish a long-term working relationship with his or her client. The book shows readers how to recognize and address a "no" without seeming pushy; create a "maximization program" that shows how a product or service will address the clients' problems and maximize their return on investment; and use visualization techniques that take clients past the moment of closing.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat'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.

Customers are afraid that they will be talked into making a mistake; salespeople dread being unable to close the deal and make their quotas. No one is happy. Mahan Khalsa and Randy Illig offer a better way. Salespeople, they argue, do best when they focus 100 percent on helping clients succeed. When customers are successful, both buyer and seller win. When they aren't, both lose. It's no longer sufficient to get clients to buy; a salesperson must also help the client reduce costs, increase revenues, and improve productivity, quality, and customer satisfaction. Elevate your career with this essential guide for sales professionals and entrepreneurs alike.
