About this listen
Winning sales tactics from the greatest strategist of all time
Through his best-selling books and popular seminars, Gerald Michaelson has established himself as the world's leading interpreter of Sun Tzu's timeless strategies for the modern business audience. In Sun Tzu Strategies for Selling, the author of the best-selling Sun Tzu: The Art of War for Managers interprets the theorist's classic battle strategies specifically to help salespeople win on the increasingly competitive sales battlefield. Packed with brilliant insights that will help anyone who sells prevail over any competitor, this new translation of The Art of War includes special notations underscoring the relevance of Sun Tzu's writings to sales strategy. It also transforms Sun Tzu's wisdom into contemporary sales advice, object lessons, and real-life "how-tos", such as:
- Get your strategy straight
- Win without fighting
- Have a unique selling proposition
- Know your competitor
- Aim for big wins
- Learn from lost sales
Please note: This is an historical recording. The audio quality represents the technology of the time when it was produced.

Story
People don't buy from people they like. No! Your buyer doesn't care about you or your product or service. It's not your job to overcome objections, it's your buyer's. Closing isn't a skill of good salespeople; it's the skill of weak salespeople. Price isn't the main reason salespeople lose the sale. Gap Selling shreds traditional and closely held sales beliefs that have been hurting salespeople for decades. For years, salespeople have embraced a myriad of sales tactics and belief systems that have unknowingly created many of the issues they have been trying to avoid.

Story
Anthony Iannarino never set out to become a salesman. He fell into his profession by accident, and now has turned his focus to a question that's been debated for at least a century: Why are a small number of salespeople in any field hugely successful, while the rest are stuck with mediocre results at best? Since then, and for over 25 years, he has read hundreds of books, tested countless strategies, and interviewed dozens of the best salespeople to figure out what sets the extraordinary ones apart from the rest.

Too often, the sales process is all about fear. 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.

Broken Audio File
Starting halfway through chapter 9 the audio breaks and starts playing a screeching white noise. Damn near crashed my car when that banshee like noise started blaring through my speakers. I tried skipping to chapter 10 and 1 minute in the noise started again. I’m not going to continue listening, which is a shame because I was enjoying the story and information
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
