Blount has written multiple bestselling sales books. Here he shows you exactly how to negotiate– from the seller’s perspective. He shows you why you keep getting beaten. Then, he teaches you exactly what you need to know, do, and say to gain more control and more power over the outcomes of your deals.

2. Smart Calling: Eliminate the Fear, Failure, and Rejection from Cold Calling
By Art Sobczak
One of the best tools for selling right now is the phone. Yet so many sellers are afraid to pick up the phone. Others don’t know what to say or how to get through. Sobczak has been teaching sales professionals how to eliminate the fear, failure, and rejection so they can sell by phone — without sounding like some cheesy salesperson. Sobczak has updated this third edition since it was released 10 years ago when it became an instant bestseller. You’ll find new stories from the field, modernized techniques, field-tested messaging, best practices, and actual scripts to help you engage, follow up and close business by phone.

3. Stop Killing Deals
“Salespeople are born, not made.” “People are logical.”
It’s human nature to hold unconscious, limiting beliefs like these. Brontén makes the case that these limiting beliefs undermine sales organizations. He challenges you to examine the limiting beliefs that you hold to see how your sales structure, process, CRM, and even your compensation plan are probably all based on them, and how they are sidelining your deals. He shows you how to unmask these deal-killers and how to handle them to achieve scalable world-class sales performance.
