Close The Deal: Smart Moves For Selling: 120 Checklists To Help You Close The Very Best Deal

Rating: List Price: $16.95 Sale Price: Too low to display. Availability: unspecified

Product Description

Close the Deal is bursting with hot leads for sales pros looking to sharpen their skills and win more customers. Authors Sam Deep and Lyle Sussman show how to capture sales without being pushy or arrogant. Deep, a consultant from Pittsburgh, and Sussman, a management professor at the University of Louisville, believe that the essence of selling is sticking to a system. "Masterful sales professionals are neither lucky nor gifted," they write. "They do not dream, wish or hope for victory. They go out and make it happen." The book is based on programs developed at the Sandler Sales Institute, a noted Maryland firm that trains thousands of sales professionals around the country. The authors contend that three keys to successful selling are asking the right questions, making supportive presentations, and finding exactly how to eliminate roadblocks or "pain" for customers. "There is only one reason you will sell anything: your ability to reduce a buyer's pain," the authors write. "You can't reduce pain if you don't know what it is. Buyers will tell you if you ask correctly." The book is easy to read and full of practical advice and tips. The authors provide 120 lists on topics like "Fifteen Steps to Better Listening," "Seven Fears all Buyers Have," and "Fourteen Ingredients of a Winning Proposal." Salespeople will find a powerful ally in Close the Deal. The book is a blueprint for finding and analyzing buyers, determining their needs, and getting the sale. --Dan Ring

Selling Luxury: Connect with Affluent Customers, Create Unique Experiences Through Impeccable Service, and Close the Sale

Rating: List Price: $29.95 Sale Price: Too low to display. Availability: unspecified

Product Description

"Selling high-end luxury creations requires a different set of skills than ordinary selling. Clients have high expectations on the service they receive and base their purchasing decisions more on an emotion than a practical need. Whether it is a diamond bracelet or a sports car the key to concluding the sale lies in how you sell rather than what you are selling.

In Selling Luxury, Robin Lent and Genevieve Tour explore these differences and offer a set of strategies for connecting with customers in the universe of luxury . Rather than sales associates, the luxury market demands "Sales Ambassadors" who represent the brand and who understand the emotional side of a purchase. This requires a multitude of specialized skills, self-motivation, energy, and patience. Through a personalized service each and every time, Sales Ambassadors are able to build lasting customer relationships.

If you want to succeed in the luxury sales game, Selling Luxury introduces you to the skills and approaches that work and shows you how to apply them every day. You-ll learn how to:

• Connect emotionally with customers
• Go beyond your customers- expectations
• Turn every customer contact into a customer experience
• Personalize your customer service
• Use your body language to your advantage and create desire to purchase and own
• Deal positively with customer objections and reservations
• Make additional sales
• Build loyalty through staying in touch with customers

The universe of luxury is no place for traditional hard-sell tactics. Instead, you have to subtly appeal to your customer-s emotions. It takes skill, technique, and a truly personal touch. Selling Luxury shows you how to develop those skills and techniques and make them a key part of your selling style.
