If you work in a small business, you have to know how to sell. Full stop. But selling as most people know it doesn’t work anymore. It’s relationships that count. Real selling is about understanding customers’ goals and helping them to buy, not topping off a template presentation with a pushy attitude. So how do you put relationships first and still get results? Sales Therapy smashes the age-old sales model with an effective new approach grounded in behavioural psychology. It is natural and effortless to use because it mirrors the way people actually interact with each other. And it really works. Thomas Power, Chairman of Ecademy, describes it as ‘One of the finest pieces of content on how to sell better in the 21st Century.’ At last, you can commit those terrible ‘closing techniques’ to the recycle bin. Sales Therapy will help you build great relationships with your customers while making the art of selling fun and effective and helping your business to grow. PRAISE FOR SALES THERAPY ‘This is one of the finest pieces of content on how to sell better in the 21st Century. Grant you are absolutely right with your judgment’ Thomas Power, Chairman of Ecademy

Every new business owner and aspiring entrepreneur will face one common challenge as they set out on their exciting journey - SALES; finding the right customers and getting them to part with their cash and buy. Like anything in life, you can do this the hard way or the easy way. You can delay, procrastinate, and wait for the telephone to ring or for business to come through the door. It may happen, but then again it may not! Alternatively, you can take control and get proactive - get selling and get SALES. In a cluttered, noisy marketplace, it's not necessarily about the best, newest or most exciting product in town; it's much more about connecting with the right customers, getting your message across with clarity and pizzazz and then helping people to take action with you and buy. Otherwise, stalemate, stagnation or decline - no sales, no customers, no business! Successful Selling for Small Business will: - help you 'get' sales; - help you develop a logical, 'can-do' approach to selling which fits your values, your business, you; - give you a sales habit or process for life, not just a quick fix; - demystify the selling process and remove any negative myths or perceptions; - help you grow your business and achieve your personal goals and ambitions. Successful Selling for Small Businesses is a straight-talking, jargon-free book which will help you get sales easily, effectively and ethically! No tricks, no gimmicks, no con jobs!

My primary focus is on the underserved community made up of start-up, micro, and small business owners who have little to no formal sales training. There are approximately 30 million small businesses in the United States. Nearly 22 million of which have no employees. This means that the owner is selling, or no one is selling.

Most business owners are not trained in sales. Many owners are deathly afraid of sales. Owners not trained in sales make lousy sales trainers. The way to avoid or fix this problem is to create a sales process in your company. Yes, even a company of one can have a sales department. Small Business sales Without the Fear is a sales guide designed to show anyone how to stop "waiting" for customers to find you and lays out in simple easy to follow steps on how to add customers and grow your business on purpose. In this book you will learn: Why no sales experience is required. Why Introverts can make the best salespeople. Why adding new customers is the lifeblood for all small businesses. How to generate leads. How to reach out to potential customers. What to say to potential customers. How to prepare a proposal. How the sales process really works. How to find time to sell. What the fear of selling is really all about. What the risk is of not selling. What you can do today to start selling for your business. How to create a "sales plan."
