Love and Selling

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Let's face it: there's a lot of sucky selling going on in the world today. Sellers have been trained to use artificial tactics in pursuit of the sale. Like a woman in a bar bracing for another cheesy, tired pickup line, customers are now warier than ever. In ''Love and Selling,'' Dan Smaida uses the Lens of Love to call out all those cheesy, cringe-worthy 'tactics' and offer more authentic alternatives. The book uses the simple lessons we all understand about love and relationships to transform the way we think about selling. No 'sales processes,' no seller-centric models, just tried-and-true behaviors that work in business . . . and in love. When sellers ditch the tricks and focus on developing true relationships, they create real partnerships with customers, enjoy their jobs more, and see better results.

Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Regular job searches SUCK! They don't have to if you know what to do. Put yourself in the driver's seat of your job search and get amazing job offers from companies you're dying to work with. After years of coaching students to C-Suite executives at Fortune 500's I developed a custom-tailored job search strategy designed to keep the job seeker engaged in their search and drive the offers they really want, really quickly. About this project: I've spent my career helping senior executives, talented professionals and new graduates find their dream jobs. Their job searches were slow, stalled or even DOA before we met; after just a few weeks of working together, they landed jobs they wanted. And they loved the work we did together. I bottled up the best step-by-step advice from these one-on-one sessions into 120 action-packed pages, just for you. Take it and run. Who should read this book? If you want a new job right now, you need to read this book. If you want to be known in your industry, you need to read this book. If you want your dream employer to create a job for you, you need to read this book. What you'll learn: How to take back your search and get employers to chase YOU How to take HR/Corporate Recruiters out of the process and get offers directly from hiring managers How to create an undeniable value in the market that will generate offers for you and you alone For Job Seekers: You need a new job right now. I'll show you how to: Use proven strategies to beat out more qualified competition Reignite a dead search Move into a new field Win every interview using a simple, two-step process For Rock Stars: You like where you are, but you have one eye on the next big thing and you want to build your profile. I'll show you how to: Make companies fight over you when they hear your story Stand out to recruiters and executives running "secret searches" Make your current employer beg to give you promotions for fear of losing you to the competition For Students: You're graduating, your loan payments are due and you don't know where to start. I'll show you how to: Beat out your competition, including more seasoned job seekers Get the $$$'s you really deserve instead of taking a salary you can barely live off of Set yourself up for the best promotions and job offers for your entire career Why this book? Most job search advice is terrible. Job searches are miserable. And I could spend every hour of every day of my life advising job seekers and I wouldn't scratch the surface of the need in this area. I want to reach as many people as possible with this message. I want to help job seekers take back control of their search. Everyday people come to me that need my help to find great jobs but they simply can't afford my services. Even with the 10 hours a week that I set aside for pro bono work it doesn't scratch the surface of the demand for real help for job seekers that have been struggling for months and sometimes, years.

Healthy Habits Suck
Author: Dayna Lee-Baggley
Publisher: New Harbinger Publications
ISBN: 1684033330
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
"A realistic read that will prod even the most stubborn fast-food eating couch potato to take action toward a healthier lifestyle." —Library Journal Salad instead of steak? Working out? Skipping that second beer or glass of wine? Healthy habits are THE WORST. If you’re someone who gets up every morning and can’t wait for your run, considers eating sweet potatoes a splurge, and sets aside thirty minutes before work to meditate—this book isn’t for you. If you’re someone who thinks about getting up to go for a run but goes back to sleep, regrets last night’s dinner of fast food, and can barely get to work on time—let alone meditate—then this book will help you find the motivation you’ve been looking for to live your healthiest life, even when you don’t want to. With this funny, in-your-face guide, you won’t find advice on how to “enjoy” exercise, or tips for making broccoli and kale taste as good as donuts and ice cream. What you will find are solid skills to help you actually do the healthy things you know you should be doing. Using these skills—based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and neuroscience—you’ll learn to find the motivation you’re really craving to adopt healthy habits, even if they do suck. You’ll also discover how to accept self-criticism, develop self-compassion, and live a more meaningful life. This book not only acknowledges that many healthy habits suck, it uses science to explain why we want the things we want (junk food), crave the things we crave (sugar), and dislike the things we dislike (exercise). At the end, you’ll feel validated in feeling like these things are the absolute worst. But you’ll also find the motivation to do them anyway.
