Updated from the first edition...Just updated..be the first to own this new sales technology.Adapt or die -as my first boss said.Your world is getting rocked.Why would anyone want to read another book touting successful selling techniques and how to sell more? Hasn't just about everything that could be written about selling success been written? Or so it would seem, from the volume of available material on bookshelves that suggest how to sell yourself to others, or how to understand a prospect(s)'s reason for buying or determining the decision makers. And it hardly ends here. Every imaginable sales situation has been diagnosed and dissected countless times and numerous approaches to solutions applied. Yet are you any further ahead in your career as a salesperson? How is your close ratio? Are you earning more business or losing more business? Are you and your sales team wasting time trying to follow up on sales that just don't close? How accurate is your sales pipeline?So, what IS new here? And what would entice someone to purchase another "business success" book?The world has changed since we published the first edition of this book in 2013. There are several updates and specifically, two new chapters: channel management and technology and the sales professional. McKinsey predicts 45% of all marketing and sales jobs will be replaced by AI. If you are not staying ahead of technology and following a sales process, you will end up like the buggy whip salesperson in the 1950s. Or like Mr. Brown the bookseller... in a bustling city, there was a street lined with small shops selling all kinds of goods. One of these shops was a small bookstore owned by an old man named Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown had been running his bookstore for over 40 years and had seen many changes in the city.Channel Management: Forrester reports that 75% of all technology sales revenue is through partners. What is prepared is a definitive guide for recruiting and selecting partners, how to onboard the partners, and continual, ongoing optimization of the partners.Technology, whew! My advisory/consulting clients suggested that a section was necessary on technology and today's business development professionals. I intended to research and provide information on the impact of CRM and other sales technology support.During the past two years, I have been utilizing marketing intelligence, campaign management, and other sales-tracking CRM software. All these tools have improved sales processes and efficiency. Then, I discovered AI and how it's impacted our work today and likely will impact how you approach business. Hang onto your hats, it's going to be a fun ride. The changes and velocity of change are incredible.

The story of how one man created his own career in marketing with no budget or college degree and how you can leverage modern opportunities to do the same.

I'm sure you'll find it profitable reading. Don't forget to take a break to recharge, refocus, and relax. Since your competition may not be as disciplined and may not be establishing systems or processes to encourage consistent growth and development, and you are - taking a few well deserved weeks off each year will work wonders. It's good for your brain, your body, and your sanity. It's a great way to reward yourself for a job well done each year. It's also good for your business and your creative process. Your ideas will percolate even better while on vacation. At least, that's my story. I also know that once you firmly embed the process of being on the look out for creative or innovative ways to grow your business to the next level, 'even' in tough times, you'll succeed. I want you to work 'less' and be more 'profitable', by working smarter with better systems in place. Most of my writing, live consulting, motivational speaking and training programs are predicated on this belief. Keep a continual focus on capturing or generating ideas. Then implement these new ideas, systems or processes on performance, thinking, sales, and marketing. This will allow you to expand and unleash your 'business' potential. Three 'key' ways to strategically increase your business: Increase the number of clients you attract to visit and retain to deal with you - recruitment and retention. Increase the average size of the sale for each client - up-sell! Increase the frequency or number of times each client returns and buys from you again - turnovers and repeat business! To fully Unleash Your 'Business' Potential, you need to create a process that allows you to explore and engage each of these three areas. Each area will have its own challenges and opportunities for innovation and success. Take time weekly, to review one of my idea nudges, and see if you can apply it in your situation. Perhaps something even more innovative will come to you? Act on it to sensitize your team in helping your clients and your business succeed. Encourage and reward innovation as a business-building tool!

This volume approaches marcomm (marketing communication) from the phenomenology of markets in the context of the Global South and its postcolonial experiences. It provides a fresh perspective to the current paradigm and offers a fresh discourse on the current theories of marketing communication. The book demonstrates how marketing communication, an essentially Global North discourse reinforcing hegemony, can be critiqued and deconstructed when subjected to postcolonial critical analysis. Recognizing as commonplace, the Global South has either willingly embraced or been ideologically coerced into adopting a Western marketing communication system. This system is evident in its theories and practices, mirroring Western themes, symbols, stories, and knowledge frameworks, consequently fostering subjectivities that lack critical self-reflection and are dependent on Western influences. But what remains more interesting is how such an ideological system, mediated through a quintessential Global South modernity, generates a new habitation of modernity at the margin. Essentially a reaction from the Global South perspective, the book thoroughly examines the realities around marketing communication discourses. The book even engenders alternatives to hegemonic marketing communication discourses and a set of ¿other¿ epistemologies of alternate modernities of equity and justice. From African to Turkish, from Indian to Canadian first nations, Australian Aborigines to Polynesian-American, postcolonial subjectivities through marcomm across the globe get a voice in the volume. The collection in this volume is a decolonizing attempt that thwarts cultural globalization, examines colonial discourses, cuts across essentialized identities, mobilizes resistance, interrogates power structures and mechanisms of knowledge production, dissemination, and legitimization, and celebrates the new-formed cultural identity of the Third/Fourth World. The book is essential read for researchers, students and practitioners of Marketing who wish to gain a deeper understanding of an oft ignored aspect of marcomm.
