Succeeding as a sales professional is like being a professional athlete. Whether you're already the top salesperson at your company, or you're simply working hard to reach the next level of success, in order to keep up in a fast-paced, increasingly crowded marketplace - one in which meaningful product differentiation has all but disappeared - you must constantly push yourself to improve, open more doors, and break through the noise to attract and retain the attention of busy and distracted customers.

The most widely used metaphors in sales are those related to sports, battle, or games. The challenge with this mindset is it requires that one person wins and the other loses. Instead of falling victim to a win-lose approach, what if you shared a common goal with your potential client? How might things change if the client felt that you were more committed to their success than making the sale?

People love to buy. They love taking home a great product, and they definitely love getting a great deal. But, unfortunately for anyone in sales, people hate being sold. They hate feeling like they've been convinced to buy something or tricked into a purchase - even if they want the product you're selling. That's why sales is harder than ever, and that's why you have to change the way you operate if you want to sell more and keep your customers coming back.

Sales development is one of the fastest growing careers in the United States. It is fast-paced, often on the leading edge of technology, and people in the role have the possibility of making a ton of money! Unlike accounting, medicine, or law, most salespeople do not study their profession in college. Instead, they are tossed into the fray without much training, context, or support, and are left to sink or swim. This method proves neither efficient or effective for the individual or the company.

Summary
The Biggest Differentiator In A Competitive Marketplace Is You
The familiar adage that “It’s a jungle out there” applies to sellers and sales organizations now more than ever. Competitors are hungry for business; decision makers are wary of change; and the market is crowded with products and services that are barely distinguishable from one another. Meanwhile, the tried-and-true sales methods of the past are simply no longer effective in a world where customers aren’t sure whom to trust.
According to Thomas A. Freese, author of the contemporary sales methodology classic Secrets of Question Based Selling, the single most effective way to separate yourself and your offerings from all the noise in the marketplace is to sell yourself first. After all, you are the greatest asset your competition lacks. Freese has helped thousands of salespeople worldwide become more effective at penetrating new accounts, positioning a unique value proposition, and closing more business. In this audio book, he will show you how to leverage your own personal assets to win the confidence of customers by displaying a host of intangible attributes such as credibility, competence, confidence, integrity, creativity, attitude, and thought leadership. Ultimately, by maximizing your ability to convey a more impactful value proposition, you give yourself an unfair advantage over the competition to win more sales, using innovative strategies such as:
- Acknowledge the elephant in the room: Knowing that customers are naturally skeptical and standoffish toward vendors, sellers gain a significant competitive advantage by acknowledging the customer’s uncertainty right off the bat. Especially in competitive situations, customers want to know whom to trust, and your ability to earn credibility early might be the difference between winning the business or coming in second place.
- Treat every sales call like a job interview: The fact that everyone is familiar with a job interview scenario makes it the perfect metaphor for selling yourself first. Truth is, every job interview is also a sales situation, and every sale is a job interview. Thus, decision makers want to focus more on how you can help address their goals, rather than just hearing a sales pitch.
- Use mini-invitations to secure more mind share: Any experienced salesperson knows you can’t just barrage customers with features and benefits. Instead, the real skill is causing people to want to engage in a mutual dialogue about their needs and your value. Freese will show you how to lower a prospect’s natural defenses, and at the same time, make them more receptive to hearing your value proposition.
Written in a clear, conversational voice, Sell Yourself First is a must read for any salesperson who wants to have an unfair advantage over the competition.

Goes beyond standard sales book
Many sales audio’s are customer focused and say to ask questions, however the sections on what the buyer and seller are thinking at different stages of the sales cycle makes this a must listen to audio. He presents a way of asking questions that flows with the conversation instead of against it. There are a number of other great nuggets mixed in with the standard sales material. I liked this audio so much I will have to read his “Question Based Selling” book.
