The Sales Bible: The Ultimate Sales Resource, Revised Edition

The Sales Bible: The Ultimate Sales Resource, Revised Edition

Since its antecedent advertisement in 1994, Morrow's album archetype of Jeffrey Gitomer's THE SALES BIBLE has awash over 117,000 copies, and addition 100,000 in album (published by Wiley).But in the 13 years aback then, Gitomer has fabricated himself into a sales assertive with huge success about an inventively packaged alternation of books, with his archetypal THE LITTLE RED BOOK OF SELLING at its heart.Now at last, Gitomer has taken the appellation that began it all, and has absolutely revised it. The Sales Bible is absolutely reworked to fit into his band of bestselling sales titles. It's abiding to be THE must-have appellation for sales professionals common who've already appear to apperceive and assurance Jeffrey's inventive, aweless sales acumen through his "Little [Color] Book of..." series.

Somewhere in America, a Agent is alive the phones. They've accurately memorized their "red hot algid calling" scripts and are dialing the 99 buzz numbers that may acquiesce them to set an arrangement or booty an adjustment aback they punch the 100th. They're arena the numbers bold and they are surviving.

They're in the minority.

Meanwhile, addition Agent who is accomplished in "closing techniques" is anesthetic his or her anticipation with a absolutely scripted and apposite presentation, anniversary PowerPoint accelerate exuding the appearance and allowances that will absolutely advance to a close handshake and a active order.

They're additionally in the minority.

This is the age of affairs that's articulate in books like Escaping the Price-Driven Sale: How World Class Sellers Create Extraordinary Profit. The abridgement has changed, the rules accept changed, and your affairs accept the Internet at their fingertips. They don't charge you and don't appetite to accord with you unless you accompany article to the table that they can't get on their own. You charge to be a problem-solver, one who crafts solutions and never wastes the time of your prospects.

Gitomer covers it all...the techniques that assignment today as able-bodied as the ones that accept limped off to the elephant's graveyard. Along with his six "little books" on selling, the revised Sales Bible forms a anatomy of assignment that can be summed up in one axial message, begin on folio 18:

"You generally apprehend bodies say that they wouldn't or couldn't go into sales. The acumen is they can't abide the accident involved. The uncertainty. The unknown. Or, conceivably added fundamental, they can't handle the challenge."

Selling...as an art and a science...is a affective target. The abridgement changes, the arena acreage changes, the needs of anniversary of your prospects-slash-customers changes. A decade or two ago you ability accept gotten by with account Zig Ziglar's Secrets of Closing the Sale or Advanced Affairs Strategies: The Proven System of Sales Ideas, Methods, and Techniques Used by Top Salespeople Everywhere afore hitting the pavement or dialing the phone, but today your apprenticeship needs to advance daily. Gerhard Gschwandtner's "Selling Power" annual and Web Site offers circadian audio and video tips from experts. Gitomer publishes his account "Sales Caffeine" eZine. The amount to which the avant-garde agent realizes that his or her apprenticeship is abiding and amaranthine is the amount to which they will aftertaste cogent success.

If you own the six "little books" and above editions of The Sales Bible, if you apprehend "Sales Caffeine" or accept to Gitomer as the host of Gschwandtner's account "Selling Power Live" audio program, you may not acquisition an affluence of "new" actual in this revised edition. The cartoons accomplish it constant in architecture with the "little books." I accede the book to be a best effort, and abnormally adore the actuality that it is accessible as an audio book. Gitomer has anxiously included his own different personality as a axial aspect of his branding, and this is one accomplishment that allowances from presentation in both the accounting and announced word.

READ IT, STUDY IT5

Author of: One Day She'll Darken: The Mysterious Beginnings of Fauna Hodel

Gitomer is a business genius. The book covers the basics of affairs with some actual "Gitomer" appearance messages. If you've apprehend any of his added books, afresh you apperceive what to expect. Some of it is covered abroad in abounding added sales books. But this revised archetype takes the best important aspects of affairs and puts them all calm - with actual specific details. And he doesn't decay words, but gets appropriate to the point - I like that.

From the actual alpha of prospecting for audience to chase up and befitting the chump for life, anniversary folio covers so abundant acumen and actual that it's article to use over and over again. I can see it accepting beat out quickly. If there is alone one sales book that you should own. Afresh this is the one.

Words of wisdom5

Imagine a sales trainer attractive over your accept as you work, cogent you accurately what you should be doing. He's endlessly optimistic but additionally abundantly apprenticed and intense. He loves to case out account afterwards account of advice. He quotes himself, often.

Sound irritating? In being it would be, but as a book it works. I got my archetype this afternoon, and it's already abounding of Post-it notes, anniversary one appearance an arresting abstraction I can't delay to try.

Here's one. Aback you alarm addition and they're not there, "leave a fractional bulletin that includes your name and buzz number, afresh pretend to get cut off in mid-sentence as you're accepting to the important allotment of the message. Cut it off in mid-word." Some examples: "I begin your..." or "Your antagonism said..." The being won't be able to abide calling you back.

เมีย

ผมในฐานะผู้ชายไทยคนหนึ่งที่รักภรรยามากๆ อยากจะเล่าเรื่องตัวเองกับภรรยาให้ฟังบ้างครับ ภรรยาผมตั้งแต่คบมา 12 ปีนั้น ไม่เคย:
1 ทำงานบ้านใดๆเลย ไม่ชอบและไม่ทำ มีบ้างนานๆครั้ง นับครั้งได้
2 ไม่ทำอาหารให้ทานเลย
3 ไม่ชอบเลี้ยงสัตว์ในบ้าน ผมรักหมามาก แต่ เมียไม่ให้เลี้ยงก็ไม่เลี้ยง (วุ้ย) เมียกะหมานะ เลือกหมา เอ้ย เมียอยู่แล้ว
4 ไม่เคยพูดคำหวานหรือ ให้การด์ในวันสำคัญ ผมต่างหาก ชอบ surprise เค้าทุกครั้ง (มีบ้างที่เค้าให้การด์คือ ผมทวง!)
5 รายได้ผม เดือนเป็นแสนๆ เค้าเก็บบริหารในบ้านหมด ผมได้ใช้อาทิตย์ละ 1500 ครับ น้อยกว่าเด็กจบใหม่อีก
6 ขี้บ่นมากๆๆ บ่นทุกเรื่องที่บ่นได้
7 ไม่ชอบแต่งตัว ไม่เคยแต่งหน้าไปทำงานในชีวิต
8 ไม่ค่อยเปิดมือถือ จนเพื่อนเค้ารำคาญกันไปหมดแล้ว
9 ไม่ชอบเดินห้าง ไม่ชอบของทันสมัย hit ซึ่งตรงข้ามกับผม

แต่....

ผมรักเธอมากยิ่งกว่าชีวิตผม ผมตายแทนเมียได้ทุกเมื่อ เงินประกันชีวิตเป็นชื่อเธอคนเดียว ทุกข้อที่ยกตัวอย่าง ส่วนใหญ่ผมรับได้แต่ต้น
บางข้อผมอึดอัดในตอนต้นแต่คุยกันแล้ว ผมรับได้ครับและตามใจเธอทุกอย่าง อะไรที่ทำแล้ว แฟนผมมีความสุข ผมทำให้ได้ทุกอย่าง ทุกวันนี้
ชินและมีความสุขมากๆๆ ถ้าภรรยาผมไปปรับปรุงตัวเองให้เด่นหรือแปลกไป ผมรับไม่ได้ครับ เพื่อนมีล้อว่า กลัวเมียบ้าง ผมเฉยครับและบอกว่า
ผมมีความสุขมากๆอยู่แล้ว ไม่แคร์ใครครับ ระวังเพื่อนกับเมีย ผมเลือกเมียครับ เวลาคุณแก่ เวลาคุณป่วย เวลาคุณจะตาย คุณจะกุมมือเพื่อนแล้วร้องไห้หรือป่าวครับ?
ลูกเมียต่างหาก คือ คนที่จะแบ่งปัน ทั้งสุขและทุกข์กับเรา ผมโชคดีที่มีเพื่อนดีๆที่ไม่ยุ่งเรื่องส่วนตัวผมเยอะมากๆ ชีวิตผม ผมเลือกเองครับ ผมรักของผมแบบนี้

สิ่งที่จะบอกทุกคนคือ

1 คุณเลือกแฟนของคุณแบบนี้เอง ถ้าเค้าไม่ถูกใจจะไปบ่นทำไม

2 No one is perfect. คุณก็ไม่ perfect ผมก็ไม่perfect แต่ ถ้าคนสองคนรักกันมากๆ เราจะมองแต่ข้อดีของกันและกันครับ Positive thinking กับชีวิตครับ แล้ว ชีวิตจะมีความสุข

3 อย่าไปเปรียบเทียบชิวิตคู่เรากับคนอื่น เทียบสูงไม่เท่า เทียบต่ำยังเหลือ เรายังโชคดีกว่าคนหลายล้านในโลกที่มีโอกาส รัก และ ถูกรัก หลายคนไม่มีโอกาสแม้แต่จะเดิน พูด
หรือ ทานข้าวเอง ผมและครอบครัวเพิ่งไปบริจาคเงินและเลี้ยงเด็กพิการปากเกร็ดมา ชีวิตหลายร้อยชีวิตในที่แห่งนั้น ลำบากกว่าเราเป็นร้อยเป็นพันเท่า และใครบางคนมัวแต่
วิจารณ์สิ่งที่ไม่ดีของคนข้างตัวที่ เราเป็นคนเลือกเอง นิ้วหนึ่งนิ้วที่ชี้ต่อว่า แฟนคุณนั้น อีกสี่นิ้วชี้หาตัวคุณเองนะครับ ถ้าคุณเบื่อแฟนคุณเรื่องนั้นเรื่องนี้ แล้วไปมีคนใหม่
เดี๋ยวคุณก็หาเรื่อง ติ หาเรื่องว่า แฟนคนใหม่คุณได้อีก คุณไม่รักและภูมิใจในแฟนคุณ แล้ว ใครจะรักครับ และผมไม่อยากให้ผู้หญิงเอาเรื่องผมไปให้แฟนคุณอ่านเพื่อให้ทำตาม
คนไม่ใช่หุ่นยนต์ครับ กรุณาเคารพตัวตนปัจเจกชนของผู้ชายแต่ละคนที่ไม่เหมือนกันด้วย เพราะผู้หญิงหลายคนหรือคุณเองก็ทำสิ่งดีๆที่แฟนผมทำมากมายให้ผมไม่ได้

ภรรยาของผมมีข้อดีเป็นล้านๆๆข้อ มากกว่าข้อเสียเก้าข้อข้างต้น เช่น เป็นเด็กเรียน ไม่เคยเที่ยวกลางคืนในชีวิต ไม่ดื่มเหล้าเบียร์และเล่นอบายมุขใดๆ และเป็นคนใจบุญมากๆ
ท่องชินบัญชรได้คล่อง ตอนแต่งงาน ท่องบทสวดได้หมด ผมไม่ได้เลย! อายสุดๆๆ สุดท้ายผมก็พัฒนาเรื่องทางธรรมไปให้ใกล้เธอมากที่สุด พยายามครับ,
ภรรยาผมให้นมลูกเองมาสองปีกว่า เหนื่อยมากๆ แต่ เธอไม่บ่นสักคำ ผมซึ้งมากครับ มีกี่คนในประเทศที่เป็นแบบนี้ ผมภูมิใจของผมเองนะ ไม่ได้โอ้อวด,
ผมจะถอยรถAccord ป้ายแดงให้ภรรยา เธอยืนยันขอขับรถเล็กคันเก่าสองแสนโลแล้ว ไปเรื่อยๆ รถซื้อมาราคาลดสมชื่อ เก็บเงินให้ลูกดีกว่า เธอว่างั้นครับ เรื่องอื่นๆฟุ่มเฟือย
ไม่ต้องพูดถึง เธอใช้มือถือรุ่นเก่าสุดครับ ยิ่งไปกว่านั้น ผมเป็นแฟนคนแรกในชีวิตเธอครับ เดี๋ยวนี้อย่าถามวัยรุ่นสมัยนี้เลยครับเรื่องนี้

อายุสามสิบต้นๆ เราปลดหนี้บ้าน 150 ตารางวาแถวรามคำแหง ราคาตลาดตอนนี้ 8-10 ล้านในเวลาเพียง 6 ปี เรามีรถหลายคัน เรามีทุกอย่างที่เราอยากได้ มีเงินเก็บเป็นล้าน
ไปเที่ยวเมืองนอกทุกปี ด้วยการบริหารเงินในบ้านของเธอ เราคิดว่า ก่อนสี่สิบเราสามารถเกษียณตัวเองได้ ถ้าเราอยากทำ ทั้งที่เราสองคนเริ่มต้นจากศูนย์ทั้งคู่ โหนรถเมล์มาด้วยกัน
ทุกอย่างมาจากสองมือเรา ไม่มีจากที่บ้านเลยเพราะที่บ้านเราทั้งสองรับราชการทั้งคู่

ผมอยาก สรุปสั้นๆว่า ถ้าเรามัวหลงละเลิงกับกิเลสรอบข้างไม่ว่าจะเป็นกิ๊กใหม่ที่ดูสาวกว่าแฟนเรา ดูหนุ่มดูดีกว่าแฟนเรา ปรับตัวเราไปให้ดึงดูดเค้า
เราจะไม่มีวันพอใจกับคู่และชีวิตเลยครับ คุณจะเหนื่อยตลอดชีวิตและไม่มีวันพบรักแท้

ลองนึกเล่นๆว่า ถ้าสมัยรุ่นคุณพ่อคุณแม่เราสมัยนั้น เป็นแบบรุ่นเราบางคน สังคมไทยคงวิบัติสุดๆครับ เราคงไม่อยากให้รุ่นลูก
รุ่นหลานของเรานำด้านไม่ดีของรุ่นเราไปปรับใช้นะครับ เหรียญมีสองด้านครับ อยู่ที่มองด้านไหน คุณอาจจะปรับตัวเองเพื่อหลอกบางคน บางเวลาได้ แต่คุณหลอกทุกคน
ทุกเวลาไม่ได้ เป็นตัวของตัวเองดีที่สุดครับ เค้าจะรักที่ตัวคุณ ไม่ใช่เสื้อผ้า เครื่องประดับหรือเงินคุณ

จงพอใจกับคู่ของคุณเพราะ "คุณเป็นคนเลือกเองครับ"
