The Pirate's Guide to Sales

Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
"A modern-day 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' that will help you sell the right way." - Ryan Zimmer "Finally a sales book for medical sales!!"- Aaron Wozniak "It's 170 pages of all the best ideas wrapped up in 'story' with messages for life and business!! - Nick Fasulo "The Pirate's Guide to Sales is a great read for anyone who is looking to show up more authentically in a sales conversation. Pulling from many great resources and years of experience, Tyler Menke has written a book that is a valuable resource for anyone, but especially someone who is not accustomed to or afraid of selling. He lays the foundation for building the "right" relationship by saying, 'Trust is number one in buying, so you better get this right from word one is selling.' As a coach, I found this book particularly helpful in building that level of trust with my clients as I grow my practice. This is a book I'll always keep nearby." - John Neral Professional Business Coach Ever notice how no one likes to be sold, but most of us enjoy buying stuff? Where is the disconnect? In a business world that rapidly and exponentially adapts to change, our selling methods fail to keep up with human expectations. The problem with most sales books is they're written by either behavioral researchers with no real-world selling experience, or are first-hand accounts from top sales professionals and contain little to no supporting data. The Pirate's Guide to Sales uniquely blends years of selling concepts with real-world experience in a framework anyone can learn. We'd like you to think of it as a "pirate's guide" as it distills all the best research and real-world sales experiences in one easy, "how-to" book with lessons from only the best! The book will take you on a journey filled with stories for business and life. It starts with voyage prep where you'll learn strategy from the likes of Simon Sinek, Robert Cialdini, Ray Dalio, Peter Shankman, Daniel Kahneman, and more. Then you'll analyze the sale itself in, "The Six Points of Sail," and hear from other top professionals that have mastered their selling craft. Lastly, we'll spend some time learning how to sustain and grow your business as we culminate the book and voyage to a riveting finale in the "Burning of the Boats!" We hope you enjoy all the tips and tricks! As Steve Jobs said, "It's more fun to be a pirate than join the Navy." What will you learn and from whom? -Story-Selling concepts from Chip and Dan Heath -Decision making from Daniel Kahneman -Organization strategy from Peter Shankman -Human behavior and behavior change from Charles Duhigg, Jeni Cross, Will Durant, Ray Dalio, and more -Influence and persuasion from Dr. Robert Cialdini-Self Branding from Mark Manson, Matthew Dixon, and more -Uncovering "the why" from Lean/Six Sigma principles and Simon Sinek -6 points of sale with selling systems from interviews of top medical sales professionals with 30 PCLUB wins -Growing and sustaining business from Lean/Six Sigma strategy and much much more. How it's organized? Salespeople and business people like to be engaged and generally don't love reading boring research books. That is precisely why this book is different. Every chapter opens with a great anecdotal story that ties to the chapter concepts with the pirated tips in the middle, and a chapter ending

The Golden Age of Piracy
Author: Benerson Little
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1510713042
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 449
Book Description
For thousands of years, pirates have terrorized the ocean voyager and the coastal inhabitant, plundered ship and shore, and wrought havoc on the lives and livelihoods of rich and poor alike. Around these desperate men has grown a body of myths and legends—fascinating tales that today strongly influence our notions of pirates and piracy. Most of these myths derive from the pirates of the “Golden Age,” from roughly 1655 to 1725. This was the age of the Spanish Main, of Henry Morgan and Blackbeard, of Bartholomew Sharp and Bartholomew Roberts. The history of pirate myth is rich in action, at sea and ashore. However, the truth is far more interesting. In The Golden Age of Piracy, expert pirate historian Benerson Little debunks more than a dozen pirate myths that derive from this era—from the flying of the Jolly Roger to the burying of treasure, from walking the plank to the staging of epic sea battles—and shows that the truth is far more fascinating and disturbing than the romanticized legends. Among Little’s revelations are that pirates of the Golden Age never made their captives walk the plank and that they, instead, were subject to horrendous torture, such as being burned or hung by their arms. Likewise, epic sea battles involving pirates were fairly rare because most prey surrendered immediately. The stories are real and are drawn heavily from primary sources. Complementing them are colorful images of flags, ships, and buccaneers based on eyewitness accounts. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in history--books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
