Book Description
Baseline Selling - How to Become a Sales Superstar by Using What You Already Know About the Game of Baseball, will dramatically change the way we approach the sales process, replacing the gratuitous complexity advocated by today's sales "experts" with an elegant and very effective simplicity. Studies have shown that the selling techniques of the last two decades have had very little impact on most of the sales population-less than 75 percent of all salespeople, to be exact. Why? Because of the complexity, learning curve and difficulty in applying the concepts in these systems. In response to the urgent need for a flexible, innovative process that will enable people to grasp the essential skills necessary to close a sale in any situation, Baseline Selling reemphasizes the fundamentals of selling in a fresh, memorable way that modern sales professionals can relate to and utilize, and above all, one that complements and enriches advanced sales methodologies. Salespeople who read this book and put its wisdom to work will succeed at acquiring more opportunities as they learn to get appointments more easily. They will excel at creating opportunities with prospects who are "not interested". They'll sell at higher margins by using the "Rule of Ratios". Their closing percentages will improve dramatically as they implement the simple Inoffensive Close". Salespeople selling commodities, struggling to differentiate themselves, will love "Commodity Busters" and every salesperson will be able to shorten their sell cycle by "Taking a Lead". Quite simply, Baseline Selling introduces a way for salespeople to visualize and touch all the "sales bases" without over-complicating the process.
Customer Reviews:
Best Selling Process.......2007-09-27
I have been selling for 20 years, and have been exposed to a very large number of selling systems. The vast majority of selling systems are extremely complex, and difficult to remember. Baseline Selling includes all of the vital direction of the more complicated systems, without being complicated. I have read the book 5 times, and use it for training new salespeople. You lose nothing and gain everything by switching from S.P.I.N., Customer Centric, or Solution Selling to Baseline Selling. Great work Dave!
Straight-forward, universal strategy for tracking the sale!.......2007-09-13
Kurlan has created a universally adaptable flow allowing a fill-in-the-blanks mentality for tracking the sale of ANY product or service REGARDLESS OF the length of THE SALES CYCLE, COMPLEXITY of the decision hierarchy or DEPTH of the decision team! It works whether you use his easy-to-execute tactics or your own!
Must have for anyone looking to succeed in sales!.......2007-08-31
This book does a very good job of simplifying the sales process to one in which if you follow the steps...you will close the sale. A must have, it is always in my briefcase. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to succeed in sales. This book really "covers the bases"!!
A must read for sales people.......2007-06-12
A must for anyone that is in sales! The method Dave teaches is excellent and allows you to learn a different style that will produce great results.
First Time Sales Manager.......2007-06-12
At one time in my company I was the only sales person. As the company has grown so have my sales management responsibilities. I now have a team of sales people that I have never managed before this time. My sales coach - John Moore told me to read Baseline Selling and it has really helped me and my team. My thanks to John Moore and Dave Kurlan.

Customer Reviews:
Not that special..........2005-11-18
i wasn't very impressed. i bought the book for an airplane ride and was very disappointed to find how often the author wrote (these are examples) "you can find great ones online" or "skin care tips online" or "list of top best photogs worldwide online." i didn't have a computer and i wanted to know what they were talking about. if you don't have access to a computer 24/7 this book is not for you. EVEN if you have access to a computer 24/7 this book is not for you cause than you CAN look it all up.
Model & Talent 2001.......2002-06-18
I think this book can help me a lot for what i want to do in my career because i had always wanted to be a model. People always say that i should be a model because of my body and beauty i really want to get into a school of modeling but i dont know which one i cant find one right now i'm 16 yrs old and i want to start now. So i wish to order that book to know whats up in modeling.
Thank You
Runway, Runway, Runway.......2001-08-28
This book concentrates both in text and photographs, on runway modeling. Generally, runway models (outside small towns) are models who have already 'made it' in print modeling (editorial and advertising). This book is sorely lacking in the fundamentals of modeling -- like finding out where you fit and where your potential lies.
Your Modeling Career.......2000-05-15
Because I am in New york I have a lot of chances to get into the modeling world. Finally I have a good guide to help me get started. I especially love the runway photos which are exciting and very well done. This is a great book.
I Really Recommend this book. Excellent!.......2000-04-11
For someone who lives in a country outside the United States,it is a good thing to find a book like this one which emphasizes theuse of the Internet to find out about the modeling business. I would recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about becoming a model but does not know where to start. There is so much info in it, that having used only a tenth of it, and I'm already happy with my investment.
Book Description
In the United States, slightly more than half of 1 percent of all the financial professionals control one-quarter of the country's monetary assets. These mega producers made their own rules for success, says financial services trainer and author Steven Drozdeck, and they now stand at the top of the industry with the wealthiest clients, the largest books (averaging over $1 billion), and the greatest financial gains.
How did they do it? Each individual found his or her own way, emphasizes Drozdeck, typically going it alone, and frequently making unnecessary mistakes. He interviewed these exceptional people and, for the first time, describes the strategies and formulas that propelled them to the top of their field. In The Mega Producers readers will learn:
* How they got started.
* Major transitions in their careers, as well as major roadblocks.
* Types of clients they deal with, and how to acquire such clients.
* Their business structures, investment emphasis, and investment philosophies.
* Their biggest errors and how, in hindsight, they could have avoided them.
* Things they wish they had done differently.
* Advice they offer to those following in their footsteps.
There is a conspicuous void of resources and mentors in the financial services industry, according to Drozdeck. The Mega Producers offers a fresh approach, a synthesized description of what it takes to truly be ""the best of the best"" in the competitive world of financial management and planning. Most important, readers will learn what to do and what to avoid on the road to success.
Customer Reviews:
Other reviewers are correct---a big brochure.......2004-02-23
This book should be a freebie considering all the promotional content. I read about half the book before I threw it aside. There are few ideas, and a lot of promotional stuff about the cheesey marketing people that contributed articls.
Just Bot It.......2004-02-22
I just bot this book from my local bookstore. Then I see Amazon has a 30% discount. What's more, I see there are 4 reviews. Three of the reviews have 1 star while the fourth has 5 stars.
I may be overly skeptical but they way the 5 star was written coupled with the vastly different rating, it certainly sounds like a "related party" tried to come to the rescue. The writing style sounds like the publishers themselves tried the hype.
Off to read the book, hope I am wrong.
Absolutely terrible.......2003-12-20
I can't figure out who this book was written for, other than the marketing companies that contributed the useless content. This was purely written for these cheesy contributors--there are absolutely no ideas in this brochure.
Ideas for Top Producers.......2003-12-18
This book is obviously written for Top Producers who want to learn from the superstars of the industry. Mid-level and new advisors will merely see ideas, but not have the background knowledge and experience to implement them. The "airplane reading" style makes each chapter a quick read. Each chapter, including the various self-assessmets allow you to determine where you are in relation to the best-of-the-best in the financial services industry.
Rather get a cold-call from a stock broker.......2003-12-14
I didn't see the other reviews until after my copy arrived. Having now wasted a weekend reading this book, I have to agree with everyone. The topic sounds great, the book isn't.
Book Description
The book FINGERS BLEED takes the student, Frank, through the song writing process from development to performance. With the help from Mr. Entropy, a rock- n- roll guru, Frank learns how to: pick a subject, brainstorm creative ideas, choose a catchy style, select a hit winning format, decide on a structure that will put his song on the charts, select musical chords best suited for his song, and develop a melody that will have everyone tapping their feet to the beat. Frank does this in order to impress Fiona, the girl of his dreams, at his school talent show.

Rockin Romance.......2005-03-03
I like the way the story was romantic and that he used his words to win over the girl of his dreams. I wish my boyfriend would do that. Sally
I Love Fingers Bleed.......2005-02-20
I absolutely love the book Fingers Bleed. The story line is so exciting and I fell in love with all the characters. I wish more books were like this. Also check out the Web site. (...) it's totally rockin'. (...)
Fingers Bleed has helped me succeed!.......2005-02-20
Finally a songwriting book that gets to the point. I went through the writing steps just like in the book, and over the weekend I wrote my very first song. It was a lot easier than I thought. With the help of Fingers Bleed I know I can write a hit song. Rockin' Randy.

Absolutely loved and needed this book!.......2007-10-09
I absolutely loved and needed this book. My business was at a stall, and I had some doubts.

I stopped wishing for my business to grow, and started DOING the steps to grow and succeed! Thank you Mary - you're an inspiration.

Customer Reviews:
Great book!.......2004-07-08
One of the best reads ever for anyone wanting to know how to sell like the pros, year after year. I credit Sales SuperStars for helping me reach President's Club for the past 4 years straight.
Get it while you can!!.......2002-05-10
I have no idea how this one fell through the cracks as it should have been one of the all time classics and a best-seller. It's absolutely fantastic, offering insight into a variety of salespeople's rise from various backgrounds and humble beginnings to superstars in many different industries. The individual accounts are easy to read in a short sitting. Each one inspires and motivates through relating real-life struggles and hurdles each superstar faced on the way to the top ... struggles that are strikingly familiar to all salespeople. It's a book to keep in the briefcase and review often as it's wisdom is timeless and encouraging without sensationalism. A must-have.
