I’m about to enter a new career in sales and I have a huge collection of all kinds of motivation/self improvement and sales/negotiation training materials. Audio, video and books.

However, in the *real* world, what have people found to be highly useful and workable? If you are a high achiever sales/negotiation wise-what if any would you recommend to a newcomer?

I’m looking at business to business telesales as a starting point and hope to add face to face relationship building as I progress.

At the moment I’ve a list of authors a mile long and I’ve listened to a fair amount.However having not field tested it all, I could be in fantasy land as to would work :-).

Thank you in advance for any assistance. UK based
I do like Frank Bettger’s book. I acquired this off an old business pal of mine. Charming and sounds realistic. Dale Carnegie is another I do like.

The other recommendations are appreciated as I hadn’t yet seen them. Thank you.
Thank you Ken. John Maxwell I hadn’t come across either so far.

Covey, I have his audio which I listened to twice a couple of weeks ago whilst doing a fairly long hands on job. I have his book, that I’m using to revise what I heard :-).

Jodylee asked:


I will be seeing my ex this week, which we have done a couple of times since our break 2 months ago.We were together nearly 3 years.After our meet I am going to not contact her for 1 month unless she calls me & in that month I am going to work hard on self improvement which I have already began to do and I have a driving test booked &have a deposit on a car.
Do you think if I go at improving my life like crazy that I can draw back my ex to me so we can eventually get back into a relationship because she just wants to be friends?

When we were together we had a lot of pressure around us due to my mothers terminal illness which I handled well but just caused silly little arguements which were magnified.
So do you think I have a chance of her changing her mind if I don’t contact her for a while?Because even though we have been split for 2 months and only seen each other twice I have been in contact with her for every one of the weeks, so I don’t think I have given her a chancetomissme
I am also going for councilling to sort out silly things I have noticed about myself that I don’t like, so when I say self improvement I mean, mentally, physically and in my life style.

Nathan asked:


I mean really, what’s the point of all the shit we do? We have what we need to survive without doing much work and yet we do so much on the side just to feel productive and impress other people. It just seems like meaningless bull****. I used to enjoy learning about things like astronomy, technology, discovering new bands– in my own time. but now everything I do just feels like a job. but maybe it’s just me and i need to relax
