There are an endless number of sales books that purport to let the reader in on the secrets of great selling. And many of them even have useful ideas and tips. But it doesn't matter how many tricks a salesperson has at hand if he or she doesn't have the one most important weapon in any salesperson's arsenal: the motivation to get out there and sell!Rhetorical tricks and clever devices, even if they're occasionally effective, don't make great salespeople; hard-working, self-motivated, optimistic people do.

We're in the middle of an epidemic of average. So-called "normal" people get up every day, go to work, do what's asked of them, leave promptly at five, and return home to sit on the couch and watch TV. Society tells us that this is what it means to lead a balanced life. Don't stress too much or work too hard. Your career isn't everything. But Grant Cardone thinks this preoccupation with balance has really just given an excuse to be mediocre.

Sales is a skill anyone can learn and master - and introverts are especially good at it once they learn how to leverage their natural strengths. Introverts aren't comfortable with traditional tactics like aggressively pushing a product or talking over a customer's objections. That's the beauty of The Introvert's Edge: it doesn't focus on the sale itself but on a sales system that helps introverts feel sincere instead of sales-y.

actionable steps to get started in entrepreneurship or get out of a rut
- By Meg on 03-11-21
By: Ray Higdon, and others
Publisher's summary
"The business of selling brings freedom - it allows you to live your dreams."
Born to business-owning Holocaust survivor parents, David Stern learned early the value of freedom and how to achieve it through sales. He began practicing his sales skills as a teenager, and now after more than 40 years in sales, he coaches others to freedom through selling. At the heart of his sales philosophy is the question, "Are you for real?!" This question embodies the essence of selling - the need to be honest, authentic, and confident.
In this book, David shares his wisdom and sales secrets, tells humorous and inspiring stories, and asks introspective questions to guide you on the path to success.
In Are you for real?!, you will learn how to:
- Get real about your excuses and put them behind you
- Find perpetual job security through sales
- Sell yourself to sell your product
- Cultivate effective communication skills
- Turn "nos" into "yesses" through persistence
- Develop essential negotiation and decision-making skills
- Set realistic short-term goals while focusing on the big picture
- Plan for success and prepare for the unexpected
- Create a work/life balance through proper time-management
No more layoffs, tyrannical bosses, or the 9-to-5 grind. Freedom awaits you, and it begins by saying "yes" to sales and getting real with Coach David Stern.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,137
Do you ride the escalator or do you take the stairs? No matter how you define success, it always requires one thing: self-discipline. But as popular speaker and strategist Rory Vaden explains, we live in an "escalator world", one that's filled with shortcuts, quick fixes, and distractions that make it all too easy to slide into procrastination, compromise, and mediocrity. What seems like an easier path is really much harder in the end - and, most important, it won't take you where you want to go.

The Myth: If you get into a good college, study hard, and graduate with excellent grades, you will be pretty much set for a successful career. The Reality: The biggest thing you won't learn in college is how to succeed professionally. Some of the smartest, most successful people in the country didn't finish college. None of them learned their most critical skills in an institution of higher education. And like them, most of what you'll need to learn to be successful you'll have to learn on your own, outside of school.

With her revolutionary manifesto, Winging It, Emma shares a rallying cry for all women to “do the things that scare you, build your wealth, make an impact, fail lots, and get up and try again”.

So how do you break free from the drudgery and achieve more success on your own terms? You hustle.

REMARKABLE BOOK!! This book will take you from level 1 up to level 10+
I’m reading/listening a lot and I can clearly tell that I have never yet found a book with so much knowledge in it. You won’t believe in how many aspects this book will help you... He covers really a lot in that book! Mrs Stern was doing sales for over 40 years for real famous companies and he now gives the opportunity for the younger generation to learn and he shares in his book all of his experiences. Thanks Mrs Stern for taking your time to publish such a book!
