Explore these keys to successful selling and learn how to make them work for you:

 

bullet

People buy to solve a problem; solve the problem and get the sale.

bullet

No solution = No sale

bullet

Always diagnose before you prescribe.

Selling is like baseball -- if you miss a base, you're out.  If you skip a step  in selling you are out.

bullet

If you listen long enough, the customer will tell you how to sell him or her.

bullet

If a feature doesn't matter to the customer, it doesn't matter, period.

bullet

When in doubt, probe.

bullet

It's easier to listen someone into buying than to talk someone into buying.

You have to earn the right to give 'em a price.

bullet

Closing is a series of commitments.

No mystery here: McNair offers a step-by-step guide that promises to take you from being a half-hearted pitchman to the successful seller of ice-cream to Eskimos.

McNair brings lessons he learned while helping with the national rollout of Krispy Kreme, in a book intended for newbie as well as old-hat salespeople in need of a refresher course. Beginning by assuring the starving artist in all of us that selling does not have to be about shilling for an evil company while wearing a plaid jacket, McNair urges readers to think of selling as a service provided to the customer rather than an effort to dupe the customer into buying something he or she doesn’t want. He dissects how buyers make decisions, gives tips for identifying potential problems and even explains the right and wrong ways to introduce yourself. Bonuses include copious charts and worksheets that allow the reader to think through McNair’s lessons and go a step beyond the printed text, figuring out advanced strategies for him or herself.

A true handbook; will not only provide readers with the kinds of practical tips that are invaluable to a rookie salesperson, but may also make them actually enjoy selling.

Testimonials

"This book is a must-read for business owners and managers who are looking for straight forward and timeless information to improve productivity among their employees."

Richard Brenner
CEO, Amarr Garage Doors

"Frank gets it! Many other management and leadership consultants do not. Several years ago I went to a bookstore and purchased 11 books on management and leadership. I read them all. Frank's resonated with me more because it had the most common sense, was the most executable and the most achievable. Frank has worked with our team on an on-going basis through one- and two-day seminars since then."

Larry Connor, President & CEO
The Connor Group

"Leave it to Frank to make you smack yourself on the forehead again and again with "That's brilliant!" Full of practical, good stuff you'll use every day!"
