Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I watched a sales rep in her early 20s, pull in well over $100,000.00 her first year in sales; using the power of seduction to sell her clients her products. It was the most interesting thing to watch: She would enter the sales call and within minutes things had gone completely different from what you might expect. There was a bond which she had formed with her prospective client, one that was almost sexy and seductive. The young woman, she was attractive, yes, but there was something much more to this than meets the eye. She was a seductress, but one that wielded power over her clients by making them become infatuated with her and her product(s). I'm not talking about a young girl trying to flirt with her client, or make them think she's going to sleep with them if they buy. I'm talking about a young sales person who used the power of her seductive personality and whit to win over clients and make them fall in love with essence. There is a difference. What is seductive selling? Seductive selling is taking the buying experience to a completely different level than what's expected. It is creating so much value and love around the product that no prospect is immune from buying. Anyone - males included - can sell seductively. It is about fostering an innate love for the client and the product and oneself that nobody can resist taking action and buying. How does it work? Seductive selling is all about the experience of buying and selling, only anchored to the experience of being seduced. When someone is seduced they're hypnotized-made to feel different, yet an incredible kind of different. It is about sending something special to someone who feels worthless and abandoned. It is about recognizing the greatness in others; namely, your buyer. This book will teach you all about seducing the sale. It will help you move past milestones in what you think is capable-proving you can sell better than you think you can! Let's learn more... Grab Your Copy Now!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The top salespeople in any industry are loved by their customers. They build a deep, human connection with their customers that parallels finding love, falling in love and growing a trusting, romantic relationship. While researching A Sale Is A Love Affair, Jack discovered that the advice given by today's dating coaches and marriage counselors correlates directly with the best practices used by the leading marketing consultants and sales trainers. The mindset is actually a heart-set. It focuses on pulling customers through their purchasing cycle, not pushing them through your sales cycle. Jack uses stories and anecdotes that make eye-opening links between romantic relationships and complex sales. It's all about attracting early on and building trust at every step. Keep it simple in marketing. Go deeper in sales. Love more. Sell more.

Book excerpt: HOW SEDUCTIVE IS YOUR SALES TECHNIQUE?Are you getting blown-out and dumped by your prospects? Is your sales pipeline full of one night stands? Why do you occasionally get lucky on the first sales date but find the romance fizzles out? Are you ready to take your customer relationships to the next level of intimacy? I've witnessed many sales "professionals" make the same mistake. Sales is not about what you want. It is 100% about what your prospect wants. Women don't give men what they want until they get what they want from their man. Sales is no different. Prospects are only willing to succumb to surrendering their cash when they have trust that they will get the value they want from the relationship. If you have a one track mind and are lusting after their cash, your chances of success are slim. How are your prospects viewing you? Are you "snog", "marry" or "avoid"? Romancing the Sale compares the world of professional selling with dating and shows you how to be seductive and alluring to your customers allowing you win their hearts-and-minds. When customers fall in love with you, you can then build a trusted mutually beneficial relationship and consummate the sale. Customers want to be seduced and swept off their feet - they don't want to be groped. SELLING IS DATING FOR BUSINESSRomancing the Sale is inspired by the mistakes I've made in professional selling. By following the "traditional" sales techniques preached in many books I found my prospects were giving me the cold shoulder and I always struggled to get a second date. Occasionally I'd get lucky but the relationship and the sales would quickly fizzle out. It all felt too transactional. I realised it wasn't about what I wanted - it was all about my prospect and what they wanted. Asking someone out on a date is just like cold calling. Too much rejection can leave you feeling worthless and unwilling to make the first move. Learn the art of sales seduction to arouse curiosity and intrigue in your prospects Discover the power of emotion in igniting lust, passion and desire for your product. Learn motivation techniques to keep you motivated and immune to set-backs. Learn simple-to-understand selling techniques to find out what is going on in your prospect's head and help you find love. Discover why closing is like asking for sex. Getting the timing wrong when closing a sale can destroy trust and get you blown out. Understand how to sell to stakeholders so you avoid ending up in bed with your future mother-in-law. ABOUT THE BOOKWritten in a quick-read and practical way, Romancing the Sale draws an entertaining parallel between relationship based selling and the search for true love. Unearth some hidden romances you never knew you had or cringe at mistakes you never realised you've made. By drawing on knowledge and experience obtained through dating, Romancing the Sale will develop a set of simple, basic selling skills coupled with a powerful sales mindset for success. Aimed mainly at virgin sales people, who have never been trained in the art of selling, the book will give you a strong sales foundation for building lasting relationships with your customers. It also provides a refreshing new perspective on sales for more experienced sales professionals involved with complex sales, relationship based selling, solutions selling and problem based selling who may have picked up some STDs (Selling Technique Disasters) from their previous sales.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author says it best: “This book is for people like you and me. People who go to work and—using words, pictures, music, and stories—are expected to make s**t happen . . . to make the phone lines light up and the in-box fill up. Attract fans, friends, and followers. Make the cash register ring. Win the business. Close the deal. Sell something.” Joshua Weltman knows just how to do that, and teach others how to do it, too. An advertising creative director for more than 25 years and the Mad Men co-producer responsible for Don Draper’s credibility as an advertising genius, Weltman distills everything he knows about the art of persuasion into a playbook?of rules, principles, insights, insider anecdotes, and more, all tailored to the fast-changing life in the information economy. Weltman identifies the four elements of selling—one of which is behind everything from a national television campaign to an email blast. There’s the ad that makes people curious—want to know more? That creates a sense of urgency—limited time offer! That increases market share—why we’re unique, or just better. And the ad that protects margins—thank you for your loyalty. And then Weltman explains how to employ these strategies, including: the six words that win business; the four kinds of stories; what to do if your product sucks; why lying in an ad will never pay off; why information reduces doubt; how to think like a force-multiplier; why different is better than better; why to remove jargon and acronyms and reveal ideas and relationships. Advertising, Joshua Weltman argues, is a toolbox, not a tool, and used right it makes people happy. Seducing Strangers shows you how. “People often ask me questions, or ask my opinions, on or about the world of advertising. My stock response is ‘You know I play a fictional advertising executive, right?’ That’s usually used to cover the ignorance or stupidity of whatever I am about to say next. In the future I will simply refer them to Josh Weltman.” —from the Foreword by Jon Hamm

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the host clubs of Tokyo's Kabuki-chō red-light district, ambitious young men seek their fortunes by selling love, romance, companionship, and sometimes sex to female consumers for exorbitant sums of money. Staged Seduction reveals a world where all intimacies and feigned feelings are fair game for the hosts who employ feathered bangs, polished nails, fine European suits, and the sensitivity of the finest salesmen to create a fantasy for wealthy women seeking an escape from the everyday. Akiko Takeyama's investigation of this beguiling underground "love business" provides an intimate window into Japanese host clubs and the lives of hosts, clients, club owners, and managers. The club is a place where fantasies are pursued and the art of seduction isn't merely about romance; a complex set of transactions emerges. Like a casino of love, the host club is a site of desperation, aspiration, and hope, in which both hosts and clients are eager to roll the dice. Takeyama reveals the aspirational mode not only of the host club, but also of a Japanese society built on the commercialization of aspiration, seducing its citizens out of the present and into a future where hopes and dreams are imaginable—and billions of dollars can be made.

Book excerpt: This book contains three titles. Here are some snippets of what you can find in there: Book 1 - How do you encourage someone to eagerly make a purchase from you? How can you ensure the sale? The most effective way to gain someone’s trust and motivate them to buy from you or join your team is to "carefully enter the conversation already happening in their mind." By doing so, you help your prospect see the value of your service through the information you provide, leading them to recognize their need for what you offer. Book 2 - Gender does influence persuasion, largely due to the emotional and intellectual differences between men and women. It is often believed that the direct, straightforward approach typically associated with men is more effective in persuasion than the emotionally nuanced methods often attributed to women. One of the key differences between men and women is that men are primarily visually stimulated. This trait, while sometimes criticized as shallow, is rooted in our DNA and evolution. Historically, men were driven to seek healthy partners for reproduction, as visual cues were the primary way to assess health before the advent of modern medicine. In the days of early human society, a woman of child-bearing age who appeared healthy was naturally attractive to men, as it signaled good prospects for offspring. Book 3 - At a certain stage in your sales process, your prospect realizes they have a need—ideally due to your exceptional selling skills. As you guide them from recognizing this need through analysis and finally to making a decision, what is on their mind? Consciously or subconsciously, buyers are always weighing the balance of performance, image, and price (PIP). These three factors are perceived differently by each individual, and perceptions can shift over time. In the current economy, it’s crucial to recognize that the relationship between these factors is undergoing significant changes. Marketing must adapt products and messages to align with these shifts, while sales teams need to adjust their presentations, ask new questions, and carefully consider the responses they receive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you lived at Downton Abbey, you shopped at Selfridge’s. Harry Gordon Selfridge was a charismatic American who, in twenty-five years working at Marshall Field’s in Chicago, rose from lowly stockboy to a partner in the business which his visionary skills had helped to create. At the turn of the twentieth century he brought his own American dream to London’s Oxford Street where, in 1909, with a massive burst of publicity, Harry opened Selfridge’s, England’s first truly modern built-for-purpose department store. Designed to promote shopping as a sensual and pleasurable experience, six acres of floor space offered what he called “everything that enters into the affairs of daily life,” as well as thrilling new luxuries—from ice-cream soda to signature perfumes. This magical emporium also featured Otis elevators, a bank, a rooftop garden with an ice-skating rink, and a restaurant complete with orchestra—all catering to customers from Anna Pavlova to Noel Coward. The store was “a theatre, with the curtain going up at nine o’clock.” Yet the real drama happened off the shop floor, where Mr. Selfridge navigated an extravagant world of mistresses, opulent mansions, racehorses, and an insatiable addiction to gambling. While his gloriously iconic store still stands, the man himself would ultimately come crashing down. The true story that inspired the Masterpiece series on PBS • Mr. Selfridge is a co-production of ITV Studios and Masterpiece “Enthralling . . . [an] energetic and wonderfully detailed biography.”—London Evening Standard “Will change your view of shopping forever.”—Vogue (U.K.)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jann Matlock's study of prostitution, hysteria, and the novel in nineteenth-century France considers, for the first time, the three topics together with their links to constructions of female marginality and desire. Made increasingly accessible to a large public by inexpensive printing methods, new forms of circulation like the roman-feuilleton, and rising literacy rates among women and workers, the novel became the medium for exchanges over women's bodies and desires. Matlock reveals the coincident traffic of the novel in the subjects of women on the fringe of society - prostitutes, hysterics, and madwomen- and the invitations extended to its new readers to explore new worlds of sexuality and intrigue. In addition, Matlock examines debates on the tolerance of prostitution, sexual continence, the relationship between female sexuality and madness, and the "dangers" of literature by incorporating into her study material from a myriad of archives, including medical case studies, police reports, newspaper editorials, and memoirs. Against this rich background, she discusses the novels of Balzac, Dumas fils, Sand, Soulié, and Sue, many of which were directed at a female audience.

Consumers' predictable mistakes - they are short-sighted, optimistic, and imperfectly rational - compel sellers to compete by hiding the true costs of products in complex, misleading contracts. Only better law can overcome the market's failure.
