When I
arrange for my clients to do a radio or podcast interview, some sell books,
while others do not. Why is that?
In many cases it’s the little things said during an interview that make people
want to buy that book. That’s why Media
training is important, because what good is landing an interview if you can’t get
the listener/viewer to take action and buy the book? If you take your
interviews seriously then read this book. Besides learning tips and techniques
you’ll gain confidence which is an important element of any
interview. This book is for anyone who is planning on getting media
coverage including: Authors, C-Suite Execs, Politicians, and Sports
Figures.

and promote their books. She wrote 12
books in 12 consecutive months thereby creating $3,000 a month in passive

By
learning what not to do, authors will have greater success publishing books
and making a real living with their writing.
Not only do we suffer from writer’s block, but we also battle with intense and persistent resistance that is so powerful we will often do anything and everything… except sit down and write.
How many industries use the word “BLOCK” when talking about their trade or job title, as in Writer’s BLOCK?
Why is writing so hard? Why do 90% of people say they want to write a book, but according to statistics, only 1% do? And why are there so many broke and struggling writers that there is a special term for them – STARVING…

In my
years as a book marketer and book publicist I have found the real experts in this
field are other authors. These are the people whose livelihoods depend on
selling books. This is not a hobby for David Gaughran, being an author is how
he makes a living. As a result, he’s studied, analyzed, and written about what
makes a successful book and graciously shared this knowledge with fellow
authors.
The
fact that he is a bestselling author himself and has taken the time to analyze
Amazon in every way conceivable way is reason enough to buy this book. I highly
recommend Let’s Get Visible and consider it a must-read for all authors.
Take your sales to the next level! The author of the award-winning, bestselling Let's Get Digital is back with an advanced guide for more experienced self-publishers.
There are over 4 million books in the Kindle Store, with thousands more added every day. How do you get yours noticed? Visibility isn't a challenge that can be bested once - it requires continual work. But there are tools and strategies to do much of the heavy lifting for you.
In Let's Get Visible: How To Get Noticed And Sell More Books, you'll discover how to:

Advertising and reveals how to leverage this unique opportunity to your

Everyone survives by selling something whether we wear the title or not. Selling has been my career, even before I was a salesperson. I started my career in engineering but quickly realised my passion was in developing business, not designing industrial ventilation systems. Helped by a boss who also saw I was better suited to roles other than engineering (he wasn’t so polite) I went on to enjoy a successful career spanning 4 decades working in Australian, Asian, and European markets that embraced all facets of sales and business development. Helped by great mentors and learning from the experience of others, I have endeavoured to give back by mentoring business owners, salespeople, and writing.
The YES Syndrome could have been written yesterday.
But it was first published in 1982. Proof that the basics of good selling are not new, but have been the foundation of successful, ethical selling for decades, if not longer.
Combine the timeless customer-focused sales skills that Beveridge shares with the emerging technologies of the 21st century and salespeople will not only remain relevant, but indispensable and invaluable to buyers.
'The YES Syndrome' is much more than simplistic selling techniques or more "HOW-TO." It is a unique, complete system, from the initial "customer needs analysis" through to the sophisticated 'customer focused proposal.' These systems work. They have been proven and Don Beveridge's concepts have been embraced by corporated America.
As a youth, I was very athletic and always aspired to be the captain of the team. I worked hard and was very driven to earn this right. As a sales professional, I have continued that passion and channeled it into sales. In addition, due to my experience in sports, I am really passionate about coaching others. I feel that with the right direction, the right motivation, and the right information, anyone can be successful in sales. All of the authors for the sales books I have recommended are also giving back to society in their own way.
I have used the teachings from this book for every stage of my sales career. The way Miller-Heinman breaks down an opportunity helping to identify the strengths and the weaknesses of your position is so basic yet groundbreaking. Anyone in the technical sales world must pick up this book.
Learn from one of the bestselling books on sales ever published, which has cemented itself as the must-read for any sales or marketing professional, written by leaders at Miller Heiman - the global lead in sales and development.
Strategic Selling presented the idea of selling as a joint venture, introducing the influential concept of 'win-win' and making it one of the bestselling books on sales ever published. The response to 'win-win' was immediate and fundamentally changed sales and marketing with its rejection of manipulative tactics, in turn positioning Miller Heiman as a global leader with the most prestigious client list…
The Bible is the greatest mystery novel ever written. It begins in the Old Testament with seemingly random accounts of ancient people in far away places with strange customs. There’s the prophecy of a coming Hero who will conquer the villain and restore peace to the land. The mystery reaches…
I am passionate about helping people have the kinds of opportunities they want to have in their careers. I coach, teach, speak and write on how to do exactly that. The secret – it almost always involves getting out of your comfort zone, doing something that is a bit scary to you and that shakes your confidence a bit. However, you never want to be sitting alone trying to achieve something all by yourself. It takes a village to succeed. The art comes in knowing how to ask, getting over your fear of being vulnerable, building trust, knowing how to persuade each person you need, and much more. This is my life’s work.
Everyone wants to have more influence, be more persuasive, sell their ideas better and have greater impact. Richard Shell is one of the smartest people I have ever met on how influence works. I think I know a good bit about the topic and I learn something every time I talk with him. This is my favorite among his many books on influence – there are many and you cannot go wrong with any of them.
You may need The Art of War to defeat your enemies, but if you prefer to win them over, read The Art of Woo
G. Richard Shell and Mario Moussa know what it takes to drive new ideas through complex organizations. They have advised thousands of executives from companies such as Google, Microsoft, and General Electric to organizations like the World Bank and even the FBI's hostage rescue training program. In The Art of Woo, they present their systematic, four- step process for winning over even the toughest bosses and most skeptical colleagues. Beginning with two powerful self-assessments to help…
I’ve built my career around the belief that sales is a noble profession and that selling is about uncovering needs, filling needs, and creating value for customers. Things like purpose, ethics and values should be at the center of why someone sells. And those that do will be far more successful. I love these books because they all support these ideas of sales as a career to be proud of, that is necessary and that good salespeople truly put the best interests of their customers first.
This book is a great mix of anecdotal evidence from some of the best salespeople, summarized into clear takeaways about the importance of authenticity, purpose, and relationship building.
Scott’s book articulates well why success in sales is so much more about who you are and what you believe than it is about what you do. He shows how the salespeople who are at the very top of their games have figured out their own "superpower" and that sales leaders have to go beyond managing numbers and instead manage the individuals on their teams.

Too many salespeople are burning out. Often, it’s not because they lack basic selling skills and product knowledge but because they haven’t developed a success mindset and a sense of purpose, passion, and accountability that drive the habits required to achieve breakthrough levels of sales performance. Mark clearly lays out the daily habits needed to maximize sales productivity and potential.
For salespeople feeling stressed and disappointed that their customers don't want to hear from them, this guide is the key to developing the mindset and habits required to reach a new level of sales success.
The world of sales can be tough, so it's easy to get discouraged when the rejections start piling up and your customers stop answering the phone. This allows the wrong thought patterns to start developing, soon you aren't making quotas and then you begin looking at job listings waiting for your next downfall.
Sales expert Mark Hunter can relate as his start to sales was…
I’m a serial entrepreneur who’s built and sold several startups. I’ve been helping non-venture-backed startup founders since 2005 and now I run the first startup accelerator for bootstrappers, called TinySeed. I’ve invested in 57 startups, but I don’t believe the only way to start a SaaS company is to raise money. I host the most popular podcast for bootstrappers, called Startups for the Rest of Us. I also run the most well-known conference and online community for non-venture-track SaaS founders, called MicroConf.
Selling is and always has been about the personal relationship between the buyer and the seller. People buy from people they know and trust. Iannarino does a fantastic job outlining the essential behaviors (self-discipline, accountability, competitiveness, resourcefulness, storytelling, diagnosing) for effective sales and these principles will be requisite for all startup founders.
The USA Today bestseller by the star sales speaker and author of The Sales Blog that reveals how all salespeople can attain huge sales success through strategies backed by extensive research and experience.
Anthony Iannarino never set out to become a salesman, let alone a sales manager, speaker, coach, or writer of the most prominent blog about the art and science of great selling. He fell into his profession by accident, as a day job while pursuing rock-and-roll stardom.
Once he realized he'd never become the next Mick Jagger, Iannarino turned his focus to a question that's been debated for…
