Zero-Time Selling: 10 Essential Steps To Accelerate Every Company's Sales (repost)

Customers today have a simple request of all sellers: "Just give me the information I need. Now. Don't dress it up, don't overdo it, don't take me to lunch. The time I have to invest in you is limited, and all your extraneous activity just wastes my time."

Zero-Time Selling gives every sales professional, sales manager, entrepreneur and CEO the tools to be completely responsive to that customer request. And win more orders in less time.

Zero-Time Selling describes the 10 essential sales practices that will enable you to:
1. Sell more, faster, without adding headcount
2. Create value for customers and differentiate yourself from competitors by how you sell
3. Convert a greater percentage of your sales leads into orders
4. Build a loyal customer base and increase repeat business
5. Increase the productivity of all your sales channels

In today's fast-paced information-driven economy, your customers will acquire approximately 70% of the information they need to make an informed buying decision about your product or service from the Internet before they ever talk to your salesperson. When they finally contact you, it means their need for information is time-sensitive and urgent. The sales team that is the first to respond with the complete answers to the customer's questions dramatically improves their chances to win the order. Zero-Time Selling shows you how to always be first.

Refreshingly free of the usual conceptual sales jargon, Zero-Time Selling presents an accessible, straightforward path to consistent sales success. It is incredibly easy to learn and compatible with any selling system or sales methods a company currently uses.

Based on his more than 30 years of sales, sales management and sales consulting experience across every type of sales channel and sales environment, Andy Paul knows how products are bought and sold. Zero-Time Selling reflects his knowledge that in today's hypercompetitive sales environment "how" a company sells its products and services is as important as "what" they sell in creating value for the customer and effectively differentiating their company and offerings.
