About this listen
If you want to discover how to close sales using the absolute best practice (one that's non-pushy, flexible, natural & easy to learn) then listen to this book.
Author James Muir shares unique insights on how 'closing the sale' can be done with a natural, non-pushy sales strategy that breaks the stigma often associated with professional sales.
Everything has changed. The latest science shows that old, counter-productive closing tactics backfire and hold you back. In The Perfect Close you will learn a closing method that is nearly always successful. It's zero pressure and involves just two questions. It's a clear and simple approach that is flexible enough to use on every kind of sale at every given stage. It can be learned in less than an hour and mastered in a day. It is especially helpful for new and inexperienced salespeople and professionals who dislike the "stigma" of selling or find the selling process awkward or uncomfortable.
The bottom line is you will know everything necessary to close every sale. You don't need 101 closes (one for every occasion), and you don't even need to master selling. All you really need is an easy, facilitative way to advance your sales to closure. It's that simple.

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.

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.

Every salesperson must endure many NOs in order to get to YES. Objections don't care or consider: who you are, what you sell, how you sell, or if you are new to sales or a veteran. For as long as salespeople have been asking buyers to make commitments, buyers have been throwing out objections. And, for as long as buyers have been saying no, salespeople have yearned for the secrets to getting past those NOs. Objections is a comprehensive and contemporary guide that engages your heart and mind.

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.

Sales is a skill anyone can learn and master - and introverts are especially good at it once they learn how to leverage their natural strengths. Introverts aren't comfortable with traditional tactics like aggressively pushing a product or talking over a customer's objections. That's the beauty of The Introvert's Edge: it doesn't focus on the sale itself but on a sales system that helps introverts feel sincere instead of sales-y.

Direct And Spot On for Complex Sales
This is a NO BULL book for those that are involved in complex sales. It guides you through the process that you may know already but with the subtle differences on how to approach each step with a mindset and phrases that can make a difference. I liked the "Getting to the point" attitude from James and the summaries made along the way. Well done.

Excellent Sales Book
I'm still new in sales and stood to benefit enormously from listening to this book. Even though parts of the book are geared towards an executive level/ style of sales, it is nonetheless useful and applicable to non-corporate sales. I plan to listen again and practice some of the techniques.
