Selling in Tough Times

fullDescription

We've all heard it before: when times are tough, go back to the basics. It seems simple, but the reality is that in good times, many of us let some of the most important principles of selling go by the wayside, which leaves us scrambling when a downturn hits. That's why world-renowned sales expert Tom Hopkins is here to remind us that challenges are a constant aspect of selling and that the key to success is to keep your attitude positive and to never stop striving for excellence. What's more, Hopkins distills the four key practices to help you get your creative juices flowing and discover and exploit business opportunities that you may not even know existed, including:

Success Is In Who You Know: Effectively working with existing clients to generate new leads for business is crucial.

Retaining (and Rewarding) Customers: Excellent service and consistent follow-up ensure happy customers and ongoing success.

Reducing Sales Resistance: In tough times, people put off making buying decisions. Help them overcome their fears in order to thrive.

Converting Clients from the Competition: With fewer new business start-ups for you to pursue, you need strategies for getting clients to consider you over their current providers

Don't just survive, learn how to thrive by turning your challenges into advantages today.

   • content: This is one of Tom Hopkins's many excellent books on how to be successful in sales. He shows how returning to basics--prospecting, qualifying, selling, servicing, and relationship building--is the best way to earn business and loyalty in a pessimistic environment. The advice is organized in compact mini-lessons on a wide range of skills and habits--such as soothing customer fears, staying positive, understanding cycles in your industry, and knowing the specifics of relentless customer focus. The author's narrative performance has moments of relaxed spontaneity and some charming phrasing signatures. But in much of this recording, his enthusiasm is expressed with such a small range of clichÄs that his sincerity and the richness of his advice are too often crowded out of the listening experience.

     December 21, 2009
     Hopkins (How to Master the Art of Selling
     ) lobbies for a return to basics to maximize sales in an economic downturn. He starts from the very beginning, defining what a selling career entails and detailing the different types of salespeople. He encourages readers to step back and reevaluate their positions in the economy, and to make a plan for when the climate improves. The first step is to save existing business by going the extra mile, making human contact, and initiating loyalty-building campaigns. Hopkins shows how to quickly tell if a client is right for you, reduce sales resistance, woo clients from the competition, and cut costs while continuing to appear successful. Each chapter ends with a short summary to help extract and reinforce key ideas. Part self-help book, part motivational guide, this book provides valuable advice for selling professionals struggling in the current economy as well anyone hoping to emerge from the recession primed for growth.

     Hopkins (www.tomhopkins.com), author of the national best seller How To Master the Art of Selling (1980) and the engine behind a plethora of sales-training products and seminars, gears his latest work toward all those struggling to sell services or products in the current economy and wanting to come out on top. The author himself reads, doing an excellent job of it: his positive attitude and inspirational tone make the sound sales strategies and techniques he shares infinitely more palatable. The practical exercises and sample seller-buyer conversations are especially helpful. Recommended for all business students and practitioners.
