Publisher Description: The Seller's Challenge: How Top Performers Master Deal-Killing Obstacles in B2B Sales There is a common question that troubles all sellers at points in their career: "So what do I do now?" It may be uttered out of fear or confusion but it's that moment of paralysis where they realize they are about to lose an opportunity that they had invested much time to win. The Seller's Challenge is a "tactical field manual" that taps current research, best practices and real-life examples to help sellers craft action plans that optimize productivity and drive success. It's all about what top-performing sellers do - how they research, plan and implement activities that maximize their chances of winning. Each chapter is designed to be read on its own. Readers can read the entire book or just pick the chapters that interest them the most. If you look carefully and closely there are caution signs that will guide the seller toward the best course of action. The Seller's Challenge focuses on:
Over the course of ten chapters, we share the harsh realities, myths, data, best practices, game-changing approaches and guerrilla tactics that will elevate a seller's prospects of winning good business. The book includes many addendums in the form of checklists and worksheets that simplify the content. Come join our community of sellers. Become a voice for the selling profession.
