501 Unsticking Deals by James Muir
Unsticking Deals: Why Deals Stall, How to Unstick Them, And How to Prevent Them From Sticking in the First Place by James Muir ABOUT THE BOOK: Stuck deals are arguably the biggest problem in sales. Depending on the industry, between 40-60% of all sales are lost to no-decision. The implications are staggering. This fact means that the problem of stuck deals and "no-decision" effectively doubles the cost of every sale, and wastes somewhere around one-half of every sales professional's time. The good news is that if we can unstick our deals (or even better, prevent them from sticking in the first place) we can effectively double our sales, dramatically shorten our sales cycles, and double our commissions. What you will learn in Unsticking Deals: Surprisingly, stalled deals are caused by just three things. The Universal Root Cause Maxim explains the three reasons deals stall in a single sentence. The five common sales issues that cause sales professionals to stick their deals. The three things that cause customers to suffer from indecision and how to overcome them. Why deals stall due to business case issues and the three simple things that need to be in every business case to prevent stalls. Five key prevention strategies that will prevent your deal from ever sticking in the first place. The five key plays for unsticking your deals - complete with templates and examples. This book is designed to be a quick reference guide. Each chapter has been designed to be brief and concise with actionable steps you can take right now to unstick your deal. Once you've identified why your deal is stuck you can jump right to that chapter for solutions. These short chapters are arranged into six logical parts: Part 1 – Preventing Deals From Sticking Part 2 – Unsticking Plays Part 3 – What Causes Stuck Deals Part 4 – Strategies for Unsticking Deals Caused by Sales Issues Part 5 – Strategies for Unsticking Deals Caused by Client Indecision Part 6 – Strategies for Unsticking Deals Caused by Business Case Issues This book is for all those entrepreneurs, business leaders, and sales professionals who want to close those bloated pipelines and prevent deals from getting stuck in the first place. Reading this book will teach you how to unstick deals, shorten your sales cycle, and prevent deals from sticking to begin with. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: James Muir is the founder and CEO of Best Practice International and the bestselling author of the #1 book on closing sales – The Perfect Close: The Secret To Closing Sales, which was featured on episode 149 of The Marketing Book Podcast in 2017. James is a 30-year veteran of sales having served in every role – from individual contributor to executive VP.

500 The Power of Instinct by Leslie Zane
The Power of Instinct: The New Rules of Persuasion in Business and Life by Leslie Zane ABOUT THE BOOK: Award-winning Fortune 500 brand consultant and behavioral expert Leslie Zane shatters conventional marketing wisdom, showing readers how to tap into the hidden brain where instinct prevails, creating a powerful network of connections that drive people to buy your product, company, or vision. People don't make decisions with their conscious mind, but on instinct. In The Power of Instinct, marketing consultant and behavioral science expert Leslie Zane shows that to grow a brand, business, or even a social movement, traditional persuasion tactics fall short. Instead, you must connect to the instinctive mind. And to do this, you need to understand the science of consumer choice and employ techniques that work with a person's brain, not against it. Zane uncovers the hidden network of connections that dictates the snap decisions we make and cracks the code on how to influence it. With a revolutionary set of rules for expanding the network, Zane shows us how to make any brand, business, political candidate, or idea the dominant instinctive choice. With science as your guide, as well as stories from the world's most successful brands from McDonald's and Lululemon to the Yankees and Taylor Swift, you'll learn: What kind of messages create the greatest amount of positive associations; Why finding new customers accelerates growth and relying on existing ones is a trap; Why emotional stories are not enough to drive trial and long-term brand loyalty. Whether you're an entrepreneur, Fortune 500 executive, marketing professional, or job seeker, mastering the power of instinct will help supercharge your growth and make whatever you're selling the first choice for any audience. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Leslie Zane has been turning the marketing industry on its head for the past 30 years. As the founder of Triggers, a brand consultancy firm built on the premise that instinct, rather than conscious thought guides brand decisions, Leslie has accelerated growth for Fortune 100 companies like Pepsico, Mars, Aetna, Kraft Foods, and McDonald's. Her work has been featured in Harvard Business Review, MIT Sloan Review, Forbes, Barrons, TEDx, Scientific American, and more. Leslie is a graduate of Yale University (home of the fighting Bulldogs) and later earned an MBA from Harvard Business School. And, interesting fact – at Yale, Leslie was a member of the Proof of the Pudding a capella singing group!
