Every business person who sells MUST read this book, so they can accelerate their results, shorten their sales cycle, increase their revenue and margins and more importantly, meet their two most fundamental needs of GROWTH and CONTRIBUTION.
CONNECT and The Art of Mindfulness – It’s more than kumbaya and yogis. It’s the opportunity to centre ourselves in a busy and noisy world so we can stand grounded and confident and be present to our buyer.
CONTACT and The Art of Social – It’s more than a playground where we go to play. It’s the auditorium where we have the opportunity to team up, play our hearts out and be seen by those who will pay to see us.
CONTENT and The Art of Story – It’s more than features, advantages and benefits. It’s the ability to tell a story that captivates, and spread that story to the world through messages that create value.
CONSULT and The Art of Tension – It’s more than asking questions. It’s creating a space to get personal, to be bold, to push the boundaries for all the right reasons and to create change in our clients’ worlds.
CONTEXT and The Art of Meaning – It’s not about what you think it’s about. Its essence is in interpretation, variation, ing for understanding and being prepared to get it wrong.
CONTRACT and The Art of The Ask – It’s not about closing the deal. It’s about learning to say yes and learning to say no, and understanding the magic that happens in between.
CONVERSE and The Art of Conspiracy – It’s not about keeping in touch, customer service or moments of truth. It’s about working together, joint ventures and collaboration.
CONTRIBUTE and The Art of The Start – It’s not about the money or the profits or shareholders. It’s about the meaning and the purpose and the stakeholders.
