Platforms of Success: What the New Generation of Elite Sellers Are Doing And How It Can Work For You
Platforms of Success What the New Generation of Elite Sellers Are Doing And How It Can Work For You Author:Scott Johnson PLATFORMS OF SUCCESS Today's "Elite" sellers are specialized and far more valuable. They sell the high-end intangibles--financial services, information technologies, integrated software and hardware systems, securities, commercial insurance, investment properties, virtual technology, IPO's and venture capital.

You'll find the information in this book clustered accordingly: Platform I deals with the skills necessary to manage the traditional over the desk sales call; Platform II covers the application of those same techniques to a corporate board room or large convention, and; Platform III is about how Elite Sellers, indeed any ambitious executive, can manage time more effectively to establish and meet personal and professional goals. In all three Platforms, indeed throughout, I try to avoid just talking theory or spending too much time motivating you to succeed or work harder (smarter perhaps). Fact is, once you develop a modicum of proficiency at the skills in this book, you'll find at least some motivation from their application and efficacy. Whenever possible and appropriate phrases or samples of statements illustrating the skills are included and are adapted from actual sales calls and student role-plays. As in my seminars, the emphasis is on building habits, new habits; habits that can propel serious goal oriented individuals through each Platform and ultimately into Elite status as a seller of any product. Master the skills and techniques within each platform and you'll find immense reward, both financially and emotionally; you'll also experience the satisfaction of knowing you've reached the status of an Elite Seller...I promise.« less
