Book Description

3 Oct 2012 074946657X 978-0749466572
The stereotypical salesperson is pushy, manipulative and persistent. Most people don't like buying from them - and many salespeople don't want to be like this - so the traditional hard sell consistently fails to get results. Buyer behaviour has changed and to win new deals salespeople need to respond to the reality of the business environment. Principled Selling gives you that response with a new approach to selling that gets you away from the stereotypes and gets you more sales. This highly effective, principled approach to business development helps you align your sales techniques with the new expectations of customers and clients. It gets people to buy from you again and again and gives you a real opportunity to get ahead of the game. If you'd like to increase your sales without ever having to cold call, this is the book for you.

Product Description

Review

"Get the book, do what it says, and you will achieve outstanding results." (Richard Denny, Author 'selling To Win' )

"A book for, and of, our time. Totally relevant, easy to understand and put into practice. ... An enabling tool kit for the 21st century" (Trevor Lee, Managing Partner Es International Ltd )

"Gives both the 'how-to' and the 'confidence' to successfully sell, without it feeling as if you are selling your soul. It's for this (and many other good reasons) that I am recommending and buying this book for all my clients." (Heather Townsend, Co-Author Of 'how To Make Partner And Still Have A Life, And Author Of 'the Ft Guide To Business Networking' )

"Principled Selling is based on an elegantly simple idea: sellers should adapt to what the buyer is interested in buying. ... It really is an admirable book." (Charles H. Green, author of The Trusted Advisor )

"The best sales leave both the customer and seller satisfied. Sales like these ensure customers keep buying and sellers keep trying. But, too many salespeople forget this simple truth. it's almost like they sell at the customer's expense, not for their benefit. This book will help change all that. It's beautifully written, easily digested and will make salespeople more successful (and popular!)." (Andy Bounds, Britain’s Sales Trainer Of The Year And Author Of International Best-Seller The Jelly Effect )

"This book is a fantastic step towards aligning the goals of the sales and operations teams, which will ultimately improve the service for customers or clients of any organisation. Not only that - it will also help sales teams sleep at night! Highly recommended." (Carl Reader, Partner, Dennis And Turnbull Chartered Accountants )

"Principled Selling makes a compelling case for the need to change traditional approaches to selling in a world being turned upside down by the internet and where earning trust has never been harder. ... It's packed with valuable information, insight and inspiration, presented in a manner that's very thorough and yet easy to digest. If you buy a copy you'll be referring back to it repeatedly." (Jim O’Connor, Managing Director, Stories that Sell )

"If you've ever thought you could never sell read this book as it will show you how. If you think you're a great salesperson, read this book as it will help you to become even more successful." (Paul McGee author of ‘S.U.M.O’ , (Shut Up, Move On) and ‘Self Confidence’. )

"There are thousands of books on selling. I loved this one because it covered all angles in a simple-easy-to-read manner. I picked up some great ideas that I can use." (Will Kintish, Managing Director Kintish Ltd )

"Before you start to even think about selling, read this book!" (Start Your Business Magazine 20120901)

"With its focus also on social media and account management, this book will help you sell more - and with a clear conscience." (Sales Initiative 20121101)

Book Description

If you want more sales, stop 'selling'. Principled Selling is a different, more effective approach to sales which builds better, more profitable relationships between seller and buyer, making both parties feel good in the process.

Format:Paperback
This is a book that I have heard about for over 12 months, and have been chomping at the bit to get hold of. I'll be honest, I know and rate the author of this book very well, and I was privileged to be able to read an early advance copy.

This book didn't just meet my expectations, it totally surpassed them.

Let's first deal with the content of the book. It's the only current book on selling, in my opinion, which has realised that buyers have changed in how they are prepared to be sold to. They don't want to be sold to, they want to choose who they give their custom too. Consequently the two disciplines of marketing and selling are merging into one. This book shows you, even with scripts, how to bridge the gap between traditional marketing and selling in this social media powered world.

The book is exceptionally well written and structured and is an easy read - in fact I read it from cover to cover in one sitting.

In my line of work I meet so many people who feel uncomfortable about seeing themselves as a sales person - that's not what they signed up to do. However, more often than not, we find ourselves having to sell to clients, customers or perhaps even internally within our business. This book gives you both the context, the process and even the words to be able to 'sell' naturally without it feeling as if you are needing to sell at all.

If you read only one book on selling, then let it be this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars The right book at the right time! 18 Oct 2012
By Robin
Format:Paperback
This book is so right. And so right now! Selling needn't be about pushing your customers away - it's about drawing them to you. I so agree.
This book should be read by every major company - let's hope all selling becomes Principled Selling very soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Principled Selling 21 April 2013
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
What a timely and timeless book. Why do I say this? Principled Selling brings together the worlds of Sales and Marketing and recognizes the importance of 'trust' in the selling process, something that has been in consistent decline for a long time.

However, David Tovey goes further and in a clear practical way demonstrates how social media should be used to speed up and connect appropriately with people you need to communicate with.

Finally the lessons gained from this work are in complete alignment with what I have found from researching Peak Performing individuals, teams and organisations and describe clearly what the very best do.
