Ending Poverty As We Know It


Book Description

Across the United States tens of millions of people are working forty or more hours a week...and living in poverty. This is surprising in a country where politicians promise that anyone who does their share, and works hard, will get ahead. In Ending Poverty As We Know It, William Quigley argues that it is time to make good on that promise by adding to the Constitution language that insures those who want to work can do so—and at a wage that enables them to afford reasonable shelter, clothing, and food.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Cold Calling


Book Description

Does this sound familiar? 'If I could get in front of the prospect, the rest of the selling process becomes easier. It's just getting in front of them that's the challenge'. The fact is most cold-calling efforts are doomed from the start. Salespeople lose sales not due to a lack of effort but because they lack a prospecting system they are comfortable with, and can trust to generate greater, consistent results. If you are feeling the same way you have been for the last several years (including the 'calling to check in, touch base or follow-up' approach) or haven't been prospecting at all, you're simply making it easier for your competition to take away the new business you are working so hard to earn. So, if you love to sell but hate (or don't like) to prospect, this book is your opportunity to maximize your cold calling potetnial and boost your income by learning how to get in front of the right prospects in less time and create greater selling opportunities without the fear, pressure or anxiety associated with cold calling.




Mastering Selling Skills


Book Description

Introduction Selling is a process that proceeds from devising into prospecting, encountering, and then closing. Questions that are related to these four stages must be catered to: · What technological tools must the salespeople be empowered with? · Should a salesperson interact more with existing customers or new customers? · What are the right questions that salespeople should use in addressing prospects? · What are the tactics or strategies to close the sale? After understanding all the critical elements in the selling process, one should have a deeper insight into the essentials of service, communication, and negotiation, without overlooking the importance of cultural and emotional intelligence. Service is all about consistency and catering to the needs of the customers. One of the major needs of the customer is the competitive price. What are the other major needs? What additional needs must be fulfilled for each service or business one is in? Tenacity is a major skill needed by both salespeople and customer service personnel. What are the other necessary skills? What is customer relationship management? Surely, we will answer all of this in a highly concise communicative style! Communication is all about listening, body language, proper usage, and skills of both e-mail and telephone operations, as well as presentation skills such as PowerPoint. This book has a section called “Helicopter View” that will concisely explain CRM sales and service as well as major useful shortcuts in PowerPoint. Communication must also be clear, concise, and complete. Based on this, this eBook is built! Negotiation is all about planning and anticipating. One must be well prepared to overcome impasses, know his or her reservation prices, master the major negotiation tactics, and counter them meticulously. This is not all! What happens if you have to sell something abroad? Do you have the necessary cultural intelligence? How much knowledge do you have of various cultures? What is your level of adaptation? And is that motivating enough to you? In addition to the cultural quotient, we will also cover the criticality of the emotional and adversity quotients. As you can see, selling requires a lot of skills. Yet if you attain them all as this eBook will guide you, it is guaranteed you can sell any good product or service!
