Publisher's summary

“Don’t be fooled by the title, this book goes far beyond the selling process. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in improving communication skills for any reason, personal or professional.” (Tom Ziglar, author of Choose to Win and proud son of Zig Ziglar)

Have you ever wondered why it’s so easy to talk with some people and not with others? It’s simple - you speak the same language! This doesn’t mean that you both speak English or have a similar dialect. It means that you connect with them on some level.

In selling, building trusting relationships is all about understanding people who are different from you and being flexible enough in your communication skills to relate to them.

This is a learned skill! In The Language of Sales, veteran sales professionals Tom Hopkins and Andrew Eilers teach you the nuances of how to effectively and powerfully communicate.

Learn to:

  • Make the most of communication with the proper vocabulary
  • Improve relationships through the written word
  • Read (and speak) between the lines with body language skills
  • Use the language of sales to overcome objections and close more sales
  • Self-motivate with powerful internal communication.

If you’re dedicated to a lifelong career in the wonderful world of selling, why not master the skills to create the career of your dreams? What could be better than helping people benefit from the products and services you offer through more powerful communication?

The Language of Sales

Loved this book and will refer to it repeatedly and use it to train my sales team. I like the transition at the end away from purely sales towards being an effective communicator.
