Dave Kurlan's Books
Sales Assessment Expert - Mindless Selling Mindless Selling is not another book filled with sales methodologies, moves, objection handling techniques, or one-liners. If that’s what you want from a sales book, they are in plentiful supply, easy to locate, and they are all quite wonderful. Mindless Selling looks at many of the reasons that techniques--old and new alike--don’t change results. This book looks at the powerful, hidden weaknesses that get in the way and cause paralysis. Mindless Selling explains why salespeople already know what to do and say but are often unable to execute what they know. Through stories and case histories, the reader will learn exactly what differentiates a sales stud from a sales dud. Not techniques but hidden weaknesses. The reader will learn how, with specific instructions, exercises and additional reading material, to overcome them once and for all. You'll love the stories and especially the rules of the part game, part sport, that will eventually make selling mindless for you. Learn More
Sales Assessment Expert - Baseline Selling Baseline Selling - How to Become a Sales Superstar by Using What You Already Know About the Game of Baseball, will dramatically change the way we approach the sales process, replacing the gratuitous complexity advocated by today's sales "experts" with an elegant and very effective simplicity. Studies have shown that the selling techniques of the last two decades have had very little impact on most of the sales population-less than 75 percent of all salespeople, to be exact. Why? Because of the complexity, learning curve and difficulty in applying the concepts in these systems. In response to the urgent need for a flexible, innovative process that will enable people to grasp the essential skills necessary to close a sale in any situation, Baseline Selling reemphasizes the fundamentals of selling in a fresh, memorable way that modern sales professionals can relate to and utilize, and above all, one that complements and enriches advanced sales methodologies. Salespeople who read this book and put its wisdom to work will succeed at acquiring more opportunities as they learn to get appointments more easily. They will excel at creating opportunities with prospects who are "not interested". They'll sell at higher margins by using the "Rule of Ratios". Their closing percentages will improve dramatically as they implement the simple Inoffensive Close". Salespeople selling commodities, struggling to differentiate themselves, will love "Commodity Busters" and every salesperson will be able to shorten their sell cycle by "Taking a Lead". Quite simply, Baseline Selling introduces a way for salespeople to visualize and touch all the "sales bases" without over-complicating the process. Learn More
