The time pressures today on salespeople and clients are out of control Sellers react in two ways that undermine their effectiveness.

In a misguided effort to save their prospects' time, salespeople take on more of the work, shoulder more of the burden themselves. And they turn proposals around with lightning speed, delivering the complete package on the second call.

That's handoff selling. The salesperson does all of her work first, hands off the proposal to the prospect as if it were a baton in a relay race, and then the prospect begins his work, the detailed consideration of this and other proposals.

That's not how the pros close! Author Steve Marx reveals how the most accomplished professionals actually do big deals and create long-lasting client relationships. They merge selling and buying into a single process--interactive selling. It's a process anyone can learn and any company can adopt.

Close Like The Pros is not another re-hash of sales basics--the basics in this book are the ones missing from every other book on the shelf.

Close Like the Pros :

* Is targeted at business-to-business salespeople who sell tailored solutions and seek long-term relationships--and to anyone who has a Big Idea to sell in the workplace.

* Weans salespeople from the dangerous fiction of the two-call close, which causes them to lose control, lose influence, and lose business.

* Gives salespeople the tools they need to activate the buying process as soon as the selling process begins--and to keep the selling process alive until the decision is ready.

* Shows salespeople how to invest more time with prospects likely to buy and less with those who aren't.

* Changes the language of selling, introducing the reader to real-life practices including half-baked ideas, homework assignments, molehill decisions, trial balloons, and more.

With interactive selling, the prospect helps improve the proposal, and the proposal helps improve the prospect! It's 21st century high-engagement selling and buying.

The Twelve Outrageous Dancing Princesses started out as a play that was performed many times over the years in several theatres with many young performers for large appreciative audiences. In book form it is now the first in the series of "Not So Grim Faerie Tales" by Lee Green Pope. Each tale is told with humor, surprising twists and turns and delightful characters. "Outrageous" tells the story of a king who had 12 beautiful daughters who loved to dance. The king would only allow them to go out dancing on Saturday night because they danced so much they wore out their slippers, but the princesses said that was not enough. Every night the king personally locked all the windows and doors but the princesses had found a secret way to get out of the palace. So every night they went out dancing and every morning there were 12 pairs of worn out slippers. Everyone called it 'The Mystery of The Worn Out Slippers.' The king sent out a proclamation that said that if any prince solved The Mystery of The Worn Out Slippers, he would be allowed to choose one of the twelve dancing princesses for his bride, but if he failed he would be sentenced to a mysterious punishment. A handsome, young commoner named Robyn Wood of Sherwood Forest Apartments came to the king and made him an offer he could not refuse. A weird old man who was really a wizard returned Robyn's kindness by telling him how to solve the mystery. Robyn meets the twelve princesses Esmeralda, Delphine, Jasmine, Lucinda, Mimi, Flora, Teresita, Valerie, Willow, Rosalind, Zoe and Celeste. He then sets out to solve the Mystery of The Worn Out Slippers and to win the hand of the beautiful Celeste..

Cliches. Once they were so original, so fresh.

In this book you'll learn: how to keep your prose fat-free; the shelf life of a metaphor; how to avoid insipid similes; why the road to obscurity is paved with superlatives; how to use language with intelligence and panache. You will also learn to identify and change those moldy oldies that can dull your writing style, and then avoid them forever..
