Summary

The new psychology of selling. 

The sales profession is in the midst of a perfect storm. Buyers have more power - more information, more at stake, and more control over the sales process - than any time in history. Technology is bringing disruptive change at an ever-increasing pace, creating fear and uncertainty that leaves buyers clinging to the status quo. Deteriorating attention spans have made it difficult to get buyers to sit still long enough to "challenge", "teach", "help", give "insight", or sell "value". And a relentless onslaught of "me-too" competitors have made differentiating on the attributes of products, services, or even price more difficult than ever. 

Legions of salespeople and their leaders are coming face to face with a cold hard truth: what once gave salespeople a competitive edge - controlling the sales process, command of product knowledge, an arsenal of technology, and a great pitch - are no longer guarantees of success. Yet this is where the vast majority of the roughly $20 billion spent each year on sales training goes. It's no wonder many companies are seeing 50% or more of their salespeople miss quota. Yet, in this new paradigm, an elite group of top one percent sales professionals are crushing it. In our age of technology where information is ubiquitous and buyer attention spans are fleeting, these superstars have learned how to leverage a new psychology of selling - Sales EQ - to keep prospects engaged, create true competitive differentiation, as well as shape and influence buying decisions. These top earners are acutely aware that the experience of buying from them is far more important than products, prices, features, and solutions. 

In Sales EQ, Jeb Blount takes you on an unprecedented journey into the behaviors, techniques, and secrets of the highest earning salespeople in every industry and field. You'll learn: 

  • How to answer the five most important questions in sales to make it virtually impossible for prospects to say no 
  • How to master seven people principles that will give you the power to influence anyone to do almost anything 
  • How to shape and align the three processes of sales to lock out competitors and shorten the sales cycle 
  • How to flip the buyer script to gain complete control of the sales conversation 
  • How to disrupt expectations to pull buyers towards you, direct their attention, and keep them engaged 
  • How to leverage non-complementary behavior to eliminate resistance, conflict, and objections 
  • How to employ the bridge technique to gain the micro-commitments and next steps you need to keep your deals from stalling 
  • How to tame irrational buyers, shake them out of their comfort zone, and shape the decision making process 
  • How to measure and increase you own Sales EQ using the 15 sales specific emotional intelligence markers 

And so much more!

Not as good as other books

I'm a big fan of Jeb Blount's having read his initial book "Fanatical Prospecting". This book was fantastic and actually bought a copy for every person on our sales team. This book however, is not great. My reason for such a review is:

1) He talks a lot about neurology and psychology - neither of which he is an authority
2) He uses these theories to apply them to sales - none of which are proven in practice - its just a regurgitation of his consulting training materials I believe - its secondary - not primary.
3) I gave up after around 45 minutes...maybe I gave up too soon...but come on IQ + TQ + CQ + EQ?! It should be IQ + TQ + CQ + EQ = Zzzzzzzzzz

If Jeb has more books like "Fanatical Prospecting" that are based on his actual experience - I'm all ears.

A must read for any aspiring sales person

Would you listen to Sales EQ again? Why?

The insights in this book will take the average sales people to the next level and beyond and remind top performers what they need to keep doing.

There are so many gems in this book you will need to listen again and again. Some of the concepts take time to grasp but once understood you will see how your prospects unconscious processes control their thoughts and actions. It will open up your mind to how your actions and words impact your chances of winning new business.

This book is not for everyone - it's just for the people who want to be in the top 10% of sales people. If that's you I would recommend listening.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Sales EQ?

Terrible Narration

This book might be ok in print but the narration is robotic with weird pauses and reading. The emphasis on words is weird so you can't figure out what point he's making. Couldn't get more than half way through.

Every other minute it’s an advertorial

I paid for a book to continuously tell me about his other books - insane. It’s really too much

An Honest Review

I did enjoy this book, it is the first audiobook I have ‘read’.

As a salesperson starting out like myself, it is great for understanding how big of a role emotions can play in the job l am in.

Much of this book I will try to incorporate into my own job. It has been a great first book to really get my teeth into and try to understand the role of a salesperson.

Where I thought it fell short

As good as I believe it is to understanding emotion in sales, there are some aspects which I would call
“cliché sales trainer jargon” what I mean by this is; some of the content is very generic, almost filler content. It’s the sort of information I could find from every sales training video and channel on YouTube. Grant Cardone, Gary Vaynerchuk are guilty of this.

I still absolutely loved the book and it is a great achievement for Jeb who narrates the book brilliantly! I have bought the next book ‘fanatical prospecting’ and looking forward to listen to it.

Better for some

This book will be very useful to those who are pitching solutions to organisations- less so to consumer facing salespeople
