What if you could add new customers whenever you wanted and as often as you wanted? Whether you are building or rebuilding your business, understanding sales and the sales process is the key to building, growing, and protecting your business. In my book, Small Business Sales, Without the Fear are tips and strategies that have served me well for over 30 years in my sales career. My primary focus is on the underserved community made up of start-up, micro, and small business owners who have little to no formal sales training. There are approximately 30 million small businesses in the United States. Nearly 22 million of which have no employees. This means that the owner is selling, or no one is selling. As a small business owner, this is the "small business owner's dilemma." Why is this a dilemma? Most business owners think this is just a binary choice-sell for the business or run the business. Most business owners are not trained in sales. Many owners are deathly afraid of sales. Owners not trained in sales make lousy sales trainers. The way to avoid or fix this problem is to create a sales process in your company. Yes, even a company of one can have a sales department. Small Business sales Without the Fear is a sales guide designed to show anyone how to stop "waiting" for customers to find you and lays out in simple easy to follow steps on how to add customers and grow your business on purpose. In this book you will learn: Why no sales experience is required. Why Introverts can make the best salespeople. Why adding new customers is the lifeblood for all small businesses. How to generate leads. How to reach out to potential customers. What to say to potential customers. How to prepare a proposal. How the sales process really works. How to find time to sell. What the fear of selling is really all about. What the risk is of not selling. What you can do today to start selling for your business. How to create a "sales plan."

Other businesses are thriving during good and bad times, and yours can too.

Download or read book Why Startups Fail written by Tom Eisenmann and published by Currency. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want your startup to succeed, you need to understand why startups fail. “Whether you’re a first-time founder or looking to bring innovation into a corporate environment, Why Startups Fail is essential reading.”—Eric Ries, founder and CEO, LTSE, and New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way Why do startups fail? That question caught Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann by surprise when he realized he couldn’t answer it. So he launched a multiyear research project to find out. In Why Startups Fail, Eisenmann reveals his findings: six distinct patterns that account for the vast majority of startup failures. • Bad Bedfellows. Startup success is thought to rest largely on the founder’s talents and instincts. But the wrong team, investors, or partners can sink a venture just as quickly. • False Starts. In following the oft-cited advice to “fail fast” and to “launch before you’re ready,” founders risk wasting time and capital on the wrong solutions. • False Promises. Success with early adopters can be misleading and give founders unwarranted confidence to expand. • Speed Traps. Despite the pressure to “get big fast,” hypergrowth can spell disaster for even the most promising ventures. • Help Wanted. Rapidly scaling startups need lots of capital and talent, but they can make mistakes that leave them suddenly in short supply of both. • Cascading Miracles. Silicon Valley exhorts entrepreneurs to dream big. But the bigger the vision, the more things that can go wrong. Drawing on fascinating stories of ventures that failed to fulfill their early promise—from a home-furnishings retailer to a concierge dog-walking service, from a dating app to the inventor of a sophisticated social robot, from a fashion brand to a startup deploying a vast network of charging stations for electric vehicles—Eisenmann offers frameworks for detecting when a venture is vulnerable to these patterns, along with a wealth of strategies and tactics for avoiding them. A must-read for founders at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey, Why Startups Fail is not merely a guide to preventing failure but also a roadmap charting the path to startup success.

Book excerpt: Most of us have a sales horror story or two... Like buying a 'mint' used car that later turns out to be a write-off. Or being upsold on an 'extended warranty' that's as useful as the paper it's printed on. As a sales trainer who loves my job, it saddens me to admit there are a lot of cheeky gits (and git-esses!) in sales... BUT... If you have a great product or service that gives people practical help, or brings them joy - there's nothing sleazy about wanting to be paid well. So if you're a creative entrepreneur who loves your business but HATES pushy 'sales' tactics like: Fake scarcity with made up time limits Manipulated prices and spoofed 'discounts' Emotional manipulation and shaming And all the other shady sales stuff that makes people cringe... Then this book is for you. It's packed full of the most effective training on how to sell your product or service with integrity, honestly... Oh and did I mention, very profitably? This book is designed to show you how I've sold millions in products and services for the multinational companies I've worked with... How I've grown 2 of my own startups from 0 to 6 figures using these methods... How I help creative entrepreneurs get positive results and feedback quickly so they don't end up frustrated... And how you can do the same for your business. Inside the book, you'll see how the 'Selling Without Sleaze' attitude and the T.A.C.C framework create a clear, simple and repeatable process to bring you more sales, more consistently than other methods you may have tried or heard about...

If you want to grow your own business this book truly is a great place to start." 'Selling Without Sleaze' is the perfect sales manual for creative entrepreneurs who usually shy away from sales... But that doesn't mean soft-selling, 'selling from the heart', or any wishy-washy nonsense.

But focused on the long run, and without all the icky tactics you don't like used on you. And you won't have time to spend days or weeks going through hundreds of pages - the most important thing is to start taking action. That's why I've kept the book short enough that you can read it in an afternoon...
