Selling in a Crisis

55 Ways to Stay Motivated and Increase Sales in Volatile Times

About this book

Find the motivation and confidence to stay on top when everything hits the fan

In volatile times, it is hard to sell. It seems like every company is on a spending freeze, cutting back, or pushing off making decisions. Buyers become scarce and the competition for the few that are still buying is fierce. People don't want to meet with you, objections are harsher, customers cancel orders and contracts on a whim and pressure you for price decreases.

Yet, you are still under the same pressure to make your sales number. If you don't, your income will take a hit. Don't even mention the 401(k) that you are afraid to even look at with the markets in free fall. In this situation, it's natural to feel stressed out and feel demotivated. In Selling in a Crisis, the world's most sought-after sales trainer Jeb Blount delivers an essential blueprint for staying motivated, keeping your pipeline full, increasing sales, retaining your customers, and advancing your career in times of uncertainty and change.

In his classic, no-nonsense style, Jeb gives you 55 easy to consume tips, techniques, and tactics that are time-tested and proven to help you stay on top when everything and everyone else is down. You'll also discover:
