All Salespeople Must Perform Three Completely Different Roles To Succeed.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c46952) has announced the addition of "Heavy Hitter Sales Wisdom: Proven Sales Warfare Strategies, Secrets of Persuasion, and Common-Sense Tips for Success" to their offering.

Steve Martin introduced his innovative sales system in Heavy Hitter Selling. Now, as a follow-up to that successful sales primer comes Heavy Hitter Sales Wisdom, a book of insight from some of the worlds heaviest hitters of all time--from Sun Tzu Sun Tzu (sn dz), fl. c.500–320. B.C., name used by the unknown Chinese authors of the sophisticated treatise on philosophy, logistics, espionage, and strategy and tactics known as The Art of War. to George S. Patton, Jesus Christ to Ronald Reagan. What can some of the most famous figures in military and political history teach salespeople about selling? These heavy hitters of history succeeded because they mastered the three components that all Heavy Hitter salespeople must master: strategy, persuasion, and common sense. This book teaches sales strategy, persuasion skills, and commonsense tactics based on the wisdom of some of the greatest figures in history--the original heavy hitters.

All salespeople must perform three completely different roles to succeed. First, they must be generals who create a strategy to win their wars long before the first battle begins. Second, they must be professional persuaders who convince complete strangers to follow their advice. Finally, successful salespeople must be oracles who predict their chances of winning business based upon their common-sense judgment. When a salesperson has mastered these three roles - strategist, persuader, and common-sense sage - he has attained sales wisdom and become a Heavy Hitter.

Steve W. Martin first introduced the concept of the Heavy Hitter in the book, Heavy Hitter Selling: How Successful Salespeople Use Language and Intuition to Persuade Customers to Buy. Now, as a follow-up to that successful sales primer, comes Heavy Hitter Sales Wisdom: Proven Sales Warfare Strategies, Secrets of Persuasion, and Common-Sense Tips for Success. This latest book is the result of thousands of sales calls with hundreds of salespeople that the author has compiled over a twenty-year career. It teaches salespeople how to master the three components of sales wisdom and apply them in a proactive, aggressive manner in order to win over customers, defeat competitors, and progress careers.
