The world has quickly moved into the digital sphere. Disrupt or Die is the new mantra. Digital realm is engulfing the mankind in every aspect of our lives. As per John Chambers, former Executive Chairman of Cisco systems, “At least 40% of all businesses will die in the next 10 years… if they don’t figure out how to change their entire company to accommodate new technologies.”

Digital marketing is one such technology that you need to get comfortable with in order to accelerate your success and transform your business into 2x or 5x growth machine.

Digital marketing and social media have become an equal opportunity play. Race, gender, demographics, the so-called social stature of holding the big titles and roles, color of your skin, geography are no barriers any more.

In order to ensure your business success, it is vital that you adapt yourself and your business to the new rules. Traditional methods of marketing have taken the passenger seat and digital marketing is now in the driver’s seat. Brands and businesses are trying to improve the ways in which they can reach out their customers through digital marketing across wide range of platforms and variety of channels.

Are you going to be the one that will “survive and thrive”?

Makarand has a ton of experience in both the corporate and entrepreneurship world. Packed with actionable strategies, “How to Kickstart Your Digital Marketing” is a 200+ page filled with tons of information.  This book describes 5-step marketing accelerator plan and teaches you how to promote yourself, create an unstoppable brand, dominate social media, build authority, publish compelling content, get your message heard and generate trust, attract leads and customers, charge more and increase sales without being salesy, even if you’re new social media or are just getting started.

“If you could cross the late, great, sales coach Zig Ziglar – a master of face-to-face relationship selling and networking – with Gary Vaynerchuk, the digital marketing and social-media pioneer – what you’d get would think and act an awful lot like David J.P. Fisher.”
-Dean Rotbart, Monday Morning Radio

Technology has fundamentally shifted how prospects buy…which means that salespeople have to catch up and change how they sell. You don’t have to surrender your personality and drive to the robot overlords, but it’s critical to leverage all of the tools available. With the right approach, integrating technology into daily sales activities multiplies your ability to engage and provide value.

Learn how to navigate the new Sales Matrix™ and find opportunities by building relationships with a broad cross-section of prospects, clients, and partners. Information has become a commodity and there are new resources that separate the mediocre from the masters: influence and access. The Hyper-Connected world rewards those that can bring together people, insights, and opportunity.

At its core, selling is a human-to-human activity. That won’t change no matter how much technology we add to the mix. Old-school communication tools haven’t gone out of style. Quite the contrary, they’re your most powerful asset. Discover how to become a trusted Sales Sherpa™ for your prospects and integrate yourself into your customer’s buying journey.

David J.P. Fisher (best-selling author of Networking in the 21st Century) shows how the sales professionals that will survive and thrive in the new world can learn to integrate technology into their existing relationships.

Lea Woodford

What is your inner critic telling you? How are your values and standards holding you back? What can you do to get yourself out of a depression that’s dragging you down?

These are the kinds of questions you can expect to be asking yourself to get you looking at new solutions and to propel you toward getting what you want in life.

But it doesn’t stop with questions. Lead…Share…Empower provides often simple wisdoms that result in profound “aha moments,” concrete actions for getting past the things that are holding you back, and practical ways of accessing your innate strengths so you naturally start moving toward what you want.

In addition to concepts like “Develop relationships and you will keep customers for life,” and “When things get rough and it seems like the cards are stacked against me, I reflect on past achievements,” the book supplies a wealth of hard-earned wisdom that can make a new impact when presented through Lea’s lens. The exercises at the end of each chapter help you immediately start integrating new practices and turn on the inner light bulbs that illuminate the path to where you want to go.

The book is refreshingly conversational and free of the self-help psycho-jargon often found in volumes promising to change your life. It is based on tried-and-true techniques the author either discovered or developed to further her career or enhance her personal life.

The bottom line is that many books promise and this one delivers. Of course, your inner critic may not approve.

 

Lee Bartlett, The No.1 Best Seller

What does it take to be a Top Salesperson? Many books claim to have the answer, but few show you, first hand, exactly how it is achieved.

The No.1 Best Seller is a masterclass in professional selling, as seen through the eyes of a top salesman. Reflecting on an exemplary sales career, predominantly spent selling financial technology to the C-Suite and Investment Banking community, Lee Bartlett shares the mindset and methodology that have allowed him to consistently win the largest mandates in his industry.

The book is split neatly into four sections, which build upon each other to conclude with the full methodology. The focus is not on sales techniques but on the extra-curricular detail, employed by only the best that is often omitted from the following key areas:

– Successful product selection

– Sales execution: forward planning, engraining effective sales processes, working efficiently, client  communication,        pitch preparation, invisible revenue, networking, embracing your ego and recovering lost  sales

– Navigating the various political and emotional obstacles that hinder sales success

– Negotiating a sales-based employment contract

The landscape of professional selling is constantly evolving to suit modern-day buyer habits, but core sales principles will always hold true. This fascinating autobiographical account provides an eye-opening insight into the level of detail and discipline that a top salesperson employs – not only to gain an edge over their competition but, ultimately, to close more business.

This book is a valuable resource for anyone new to the sales industry, or for those wishing to broaden or benchmark their sales knowledge and ability.
