Download or read book 9 Winning Habits of Successful Software Sales Professionals How to strategically close sales deals in a fierce competitive market written by Dr. Raghu Korrapati and published by Diamond Pocket Books Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2019-12-01 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is often said that salespeople would rather sell than spend a day learning how to do it. They think time is money and every hour spent in training is money lost and time wasted. But what they fail to understand is that learning how to do sales effectively is actually a catalyst for great sales results for the organization and excellent sales performance for the individual. It is worth noting that while sales is one of the easiest careers to get into, it is not as easy to sustain and spend a life in. So to put it in simpler words, “Everyone can be a sales person, but not everyone can be a successful sales person” To be a successful salesperson it is important to have a deep understanding of the industry you cater to. While the general skill set remains the same, it is the deeper and niche understanding that has the power to differentiate the best from the rest. In the market, there are numerous books and articles on various sales techniques available. In this book, I am discussing the 'Nine habits of highly effective software sales professionals'. The title gives you a broad idea of what this book is all about, but more than nine habits, it is packed with 30 years of my personal and professional experience in the software industry and managing clients. I provided more emphasis on how successful sales professionals; sales leaders and their companies organize themselves with short-term and long-term planning and adopt disciplined execution on those plans.

Book excerpt: As I decided to build a career in sales, I wanted to learn everything that I could about the profession so I turned to the leading literature on selling. The issue that I encountered is that the majority of sales books were made for industries in the 20th century, and were not tailored for a software driven 21st century. According to Inc, if you look at the top sales authors/books of all time, not one has to do with software sales. From here, I set out to write a sales book specifically for the 21st century where the leading sales careers are in software.This text is based upon the learning from my career as a Elite Franchise Account Executive at a leading software sales company.For those interested in going through a formal software sales training program associated with this text, the Software Sales University (www.SoftwareSalesU.com) course's syllabus is based upon the content of this book.

Download or read book The Challenger Sale written by Matthew Dixon and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-11-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
