Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cold calling is a blood sport. Sales professionals hate making cold calls and customers despise receiving them. Yet those who can rise above the competition and master cold-calling will find themselves closing deals, hitting targets, and positively improving their lives on both professional and personal levels. Powerful, practical, and logical, The Cold Calling Equation: Problem Solved teaches cold calling as a skill that anyone who exerts the effort can perfect. Readers can see immediate results from tactics that are spelled out in the book's first pages. It takes the intimidation out of calling a complete stranger and teaches a person with any level of education and experience how to make human connections and find opportunities to grow their business. Upending conventional wisdom, the author reveals that hard work and effort don't always result in successful cold calls. What works is when a caller learns how to succinctly state their company's value to another business. Forget selling the features. Cold callers need to show how their product will make a client's company run faster, smoother, and harder. The reader can formulate their own attack using the concepts and tools that are cleanly explained throughout the book. The Cold Calling Equation: Problem Solved is a book based on real-world scenarios and developed by Michael Halper who has thirteen years experience in cold calling. An energetic sales coach, he runs a telesales operation for other businesses and manages a team of callers. The book takes the reader, chapter by chapter, through the other stumbling blocks of cold calling and shows the salesperson how to clear these hurdles. He also demonstrates how to build target lists and scripts, deal with objections, find opportunities, build both rapport and interest, and more. The psychological state of the cold caller is taken into account as well. The book gives solid strategies for overcoming anxiety and breaks down the pernicious myth that all cold callers are born rather than made. Salespeople don't have to be extroverts or the life of the party. In fact, it's the ability to listen rather than the gift of gab that makes someone successful at business-to-business selling. Turning the tables on the seller, The Cold Calling Equation: Problem Solved also demonstrates that not every lead is worth pursuing. In a powerful section on qualifying, Halper shows the salesperson how to quickly screen prospects through incisive questions. It's a tactic that makes the phone call more controversial and gets the prospect talking. Cold callers will also learn how to manage gatekeepers, turning their enemies into allies who go from blocking to opening up and pointing in the right direction. This helpful guide shows callers how to navigate objections, those challenging phrases that prospects use to get off the phone. Whether it is "I do not have time right now" or "We are not interested," Halper will show you why prospects use objections and how cold callers can get around them. Even a reader with zero sales skills and no practical experience can read this book and learn how to utilize their phone and make it into a powerful sales tool. It will move the novice cold caller from frustration and failure to control and success.

Download or read book The Sales Acceleration Formula written by Mark Roberge and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use data, technology, and inbound selling to build a remarkable team and accelerate sales The Sales Acceleration Formula provides a scalable, predictable approach to growing revenue and building a winning sales team. Everyone wants to build the next $100 million business and author Mark Roberge has actually done it using a unique methodology that he shares with his readers. As an MIT alum with an engineering background, Roberge challenged the conventional methods of scaling sales utilizing the metrics-driven, process-oriented lens through which he was trained to see the world. In this book, he reveals his formulas for success. Readers will learn how to apply data, technology, and inbound selling to every aspect of accelerating sales, including hiring, training, managing, and generating demand. As SVP of Worldwide Sales and Services for software company HubSpot, Mark led hundreds of his employees to the acquisition and retention of the company's first 10,000 customers across more than 60 countries. This book outlines his approach and provides an action plan for others to replicate his success, including the following key elements: Hire the same successful salesperson every time — The Sales Hiring Formula Train every salesperson in the same manner — The Sales Training Formula Hold salespeople accountable to the same sales process — The Sales Management Formula Provide salespeople with the same quality and quantity of leads every month — The Demand Generation Formula Leverage technology to enable better buying for customers and faster selling for salespeople Business owners, sales executives, and investors are all looking to turn their brilliant ideas into the next $100 million revenue business. Often, the biggest challenge they face is the task of scaling sales. They crave a blueprint for success, but fail to find it because sales has traditionally been referred to as an art form, rather than a science. You can't major in sales in college. Many people question whether sales can even be taught. Executives and entrepreneurs are often left feeling helpless and hopeless. The Sales Acceleration Formula completely alters this paradigm. In today's digital world, in which every action is logged and masses of data sit at our fingertips, building a sales team no longer needs to be an art form. There is a process. Sales can be predictable. A formula does exist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Not only does Anholt explain the challenges facing the world with unique clarity, he also provides genuinely new, informative, practical, innovative solutions. . . . The book is a must-read for anyone who cares about humanity's shared future.” —H. E. Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed (Farmaajo), President of the Federal Republic of Somalia Simon Anholt has spent decades helping countries from Austria to Zambia to improve their international standing. Using colorful descriptions of his experiences—dining with Vladimir Putin at his country home, taking a group of Felipe Calderon's advisors on their first Mexico City subway ride, touring a beautiful new government hospital in Afghanistan that nobody would use because it was in Taliban-controlled territory—he tells how he began finding answers to that question. Ultimately, Anholt hit on the Good Country Equation, a formula for encouraging international cooperation and reinventing education for a globalized era. Anholt even offers a “selfish” argument for cooperation: he shows that it generates goodwill, which in turn translates into increased trade, foreign investment, tourism, talent attraction, and even domestic electoral success. Anholt insists we can change the way countries behave and the way people are educated in a single generation—because that's all the time we have.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was just a phone call. Just meaningless words between two strangers. It didn’t mean anything... Still reeling from a break-up with the love of his life, insurance firm cold-caller Ray English has become a bit of a screw up. Cynical and withdrawn, Ray is aimlessly drifting through life in London. However, once he is asked to reform his college band for a friend’s wedding, Ray is soon forced to face up to his old life, and the hometown he had tried so hard to turn his back on. Anya Belmont is a woman with a secret and a history that continues to shape her life. A coffee shop owner in Salisbury, Anya is successful, yet bored; married, yet lonely; she is also trying to avert a looming mid-life crisis. Through fate, coincidence or just bad timing, Ray and Anya’s lives begin to change when Ray cold-calls Anya and the two strike up a seemingly innocuous phone conversation. Against their better judgement, their conversation is soon the start of a phone relationship of sorts. As the weeks and months pass, it grows in frequency and intimacy, and a curious, almost dependent friendship is born. But can there be anything real in just a phone call? As circumstances bring these two lonely souls to the same town at the same time, both are forced to question the truth of what they have started, and the realisation that if they are to move on in their lives, they will have to start by facing the ghosts of their past... This sharp-witted, saccharine-free love story will appeal to those looking for a modern take on traditional romance, including fans of Love Virtually by Daniel Glattauer.

Book excerpt: There’s a science to getting others to buy from you—a secret only the best salespeople, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders in the world know: selling, at its core, isn’t really about moving a product or service. It’s about moving people.

It’s designed for sales leaders and their teams, yet is still approachable and applicable for the person who just wants to open doors and increase the chances of getting anything they want or need. Connecting and persuading are no longer soft skills. They are fundamental skills that can help you attract investors, sell products, build brands, inspire teams, and trigger movements. Despite all the processes, lingo, methodologies, and corporate rhetoric, sales—no matter the industry—has never truly been B2B or B2C. It always has and always will be done Human-to-Human.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significant problem within the legal profession is that many of the lawyers litigating cases and the judges deciding them have only a limited understanding of how to properly interpret empirical evidence. Trial by Numbers provides an easy way for members of the legal profession to acquire a basic understanding of the most common methods that serve as the building blocks for empirical evidence in academic articles, policy briefs, and expert witness reports. Adam Chilton and Kyle Rozema take a different approach to other introductory books on empirical methods, omitting the formulas and equations found in other books, and instead focusing on explaining the intuition and logic of common empirical methods. The work also exclusively use examples that are relevant to law school and legal practice.
