by Matthew Dixon and Brent Adamson
If you believe in educating your customer and that through that education, you can create a loyal customer for life, this book is for you! After studying different sales representatives and their diverse tactics, researchers identified the qualities of successful sales and the representatives that make them. They call these people the challengers. Challengers take control of the conversations with potential customers. They tweak and edit their message to target the person’s needs, beliefs and objectives. It’s all about identifying the pain that needs to be resolved and explaining how the product or service is the best solution for that pain. This model is easily replicable and once you understand the basics you too can sell like the greats.
Quiet
by Susan Cain
The biggest take away we had while reading this book is that the world sorely misunderstands the meaning of introvert and extrovert. Just because you are energetic does not mean that you are an extrovert. It’s more about what you do to face the world. You brain can handle heavy duty stimulus but that is not necessarily who you are. The world has programed us to believe certain things about introverts and extroverts. Understanding the difference can help us use those powers instead of shy away from them.
