Selling Boldly

WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER!

YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT TO DO

I am not going to teach you much in this book that you don't already know.

You're a professional salesperson. You do this for a living. You know, for example, that testimonials and referrals are among the best ways we have to grow sales, right? But do you ask for them enough? Most people don't.

You know that calling a customer on the phone is more effective than emailing her, but you still often revert to email.

You know your customers buy other products and services that you can help them with, but you don't ask them about these products. You'd like to help them, and they would like more of your help -- that is why they've been with you for five or ten or twenty years -- but nevertheless we don't ask them.

There is a difference between knowing what to do, and actually doing it.

I know you know.

With Selling Boldly, we start to do what we already know. We will cover what keeps us from doing these things (fear), how to overcome it (by listening to your happy customers), and how to implement these simple but powerful sales growth techniques (by briefly planning them, also doing them).

Because sales growth comes from doing, not knowing.

Today, we start doing.

And growing.

These approaches are laid out in this book, in precise detail, for you to imple­ment in your own work.

Alex doesn't hold anything back in this manual for selling more.

What's the secret to selling more?

There is no secret.

There is no magic bullet.

There is only the work.

There are only the mindsets, and the communications.

In Selling Boldly, Alex teaches readers how to attain these mindsets, and how to implement these communications, so that sales have no choice but to grow!
