Selling in the Internet Age Books 1-4

The Rules of Selling have changed, because the Internet has permanently changed the Rules of buying - and buyers have the upper hand. Every opportunity to communicate with buyers either in person, on the phone or over the Internet is precious and everyone on the team needs the skills to engage and win. 

 
Would you send your troops into battle without the skills to fight, or the weapons to engage and win on your terms? Thousands of sales, marketing and channels teams are fighting a losing battle because of lack of skill, inability to articulate value and create buyer vision, weak sales process and poor daily discipline. 
What really matters in face-face or telephone encounters with prospects and customers is ability in developing rapport, to communicate effectively and to use language to create clarity and understanding. 
 
Communication and language theory is applied and combined with diagnostic skill and lightweight sales process to qualify the buyer at each advance seller as they build commitment through the buying process. Aligning with the buying organization at the appropriate entry point in the IMPACT cycle reduces cost of sale and wasted cycles.

Selling in the Internet Age Book 1

This first book in the 'Selling in the Internet Age' series is focused on our own perceptions and beliefs. It is about how we perceive the World and how we communicate with ourselves and with others. In the first section we are invited to examine our current beliefs and how these filter our perception and affect our behavior. We examine how to control our emotional state instead of being controlled by it. We will learn how to set meaningful and achievable goals to propel us on our journey.

We will investigate four different communication models and the neuroscience of rapport and empathy development to help the learner to develop advanced verbal and non-verbal communication skills.
