6 UNUSUAL BOOKS ON BRANDING & SALES

Followers request, I deliver. This is a very special list to help you level up.

▶️ Great for the vast majority of people who don't have the heart to be selling.
▶️ Highly-experienced and big-ticket salespeople who need that special edge.
The typical sales book, teaches you specific sales techniques. Which is great if you're inexperienced.

But tactics alone fail most people because they can't be persuasive following protocols and can't perisist in the face of failure.

These books fill the gap.
1 Pre-suasion's techniques are very effective, but its real value is in this one very important insight and practice.

The best sales are done deal way before the sales call or meeting.

This is a great book to sink your teeth into the winners' mindset.

2. One of the best classics about personal mindset. Yeah, it's not specifically about sales, but this is the point.

Great salespeople and sales writers have the genetics & personality. They don't get the hurdle.

This book helps you bridge that gap.

3. Most people, including extroverts, are petrified speaking to strangers. This is the definitive system to overcome speaking anxiety.

To do big-ticket sales, you need to be in charge with people.

Over the phone or in person, you wanna feel godlike.

4. This is one of the best books for anyone just stepping into psychology, marketing, branding etc.

Even if you're a pro, the book's SUCCES system is ironclad. I've gone through this it more times than I can remember.

5. Probably the gem on this list and best of @RobertGreene's work, this book is fantastic on so many levels:

- personal branding
- persuasion
- sales
- and of course sensuality and sexuality.

It's a literary masterpiece I've enjoyed so many times.

6. When you're just starting up in sales and everyone is trying to cram sales techniques into your head, this is the book you really need.

Learning sales is about learning to handle rejection.

And this is a fantastic way to minimize the emotional cost.

To level up your sales game, put on @BenSettle's podcast while making dinner. Get all the episodes while they're still free, and keep a pen & paper around. After so many years in psychology, I still find nuggets of pure gold in his ramblings. Every time.

Black then white are all I see
In my infancy.
Red and yellow then came to be,
Reaching out to me,
Lets me see.

As below, so above and beyond,
I imagine
Drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope,
Watch it bend.
Overthinking, overanalyzing separates the Body from the Mind,
Withering my intuition,
Missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.
Black then white are all I see
In my infancy.
Red and yellow then came to be,
Reaching out to me.
Lets me see

There is so much more and
Beckons me
To look through to these
Infinite possibilities.

Have you heard the Good News?

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
You may be one of millions who they hate their jobs more than they love the holidays.

Better pretend to like that uncle who molested you as a kid than face the terror of another day at work, isn’t it?

After all, you don’t have much of a choice.

Because it’s not your fault.
You may be lonely when you’re alone, but lonelier with “friends” & family.

You may have made some bad choices – or no choices at all.

You’ve set no standards, least of all on yourself.

But you know what?

It’s OK.

Because it’s not your fault.

ISTJs are obsessed with IQ because Introverted Thinking (the logic function) is their Shadow critic.
What he said.

No point making such a point to an undeveloped ESFP. They are blind to both semantics (Introverted Thinking trickster) and context (Extroverted Intuition demon).

0/ Thread: Fascinating discussion on Structuring your #Sales with @JonathanAngv, COO of @aircall last night at @_TheFamily. I love it when experienced founders pass on what they've learned so new generations can move faster & avoid traps. A few highlights from last night 👇✨
1/ Process beats talent: 🤖 There are no good or bad salespeople. What matters is how they respect the process, and how well defined it is. At @aircall, they have changed their process over 100 times #continuouslearning #optimization
2/ The importance of metrics: 📈 Only one thing matters - MRR. It is displayed on screens in every room and every single person at the company knows this number by heart. Every target is determined in accordance with this number. Full #transparency

People look for easy solutions like go vote to the current social problems we find face because the alternative is to admit that perhaps we unknowingly strayed so far from normal that our normal tools for solving social issues simply no longer suffice and that is a scary thought
And don't get it twisted, voting is the easiest, least strenuous part of the democratic process. Yet it is the part that the elites have tried to reduce it down to while perpetuating a cycle of crisis and abatement
Our current political system is defined by reactive moments, where people are told to not ask questions about how we got here, but to simply make whatever choice prevents things from getting worse fastest

People who find it unbelievable that Dr. Blasey could remember the assault in incredible detail, but not know how she got to the party, you can interrogate your own brain on trauma and memory.

If you’re of the right age, here’s a near-contemporaneous test.
What were you doing when you heard the Challenger exploded?

For people of the right age, you know the answer to this question.
For those who are younger, substitute “when you found out about 9/11.” Or some other traumatic experience.

Those memories can be intensely sharp, carved into your brain.

I remember the look on my 4th grade teacher’s face. The color of her hair. How far my desk was from hers.

How to Maximize Twitter Growth

1-Have a clear reason for being on this platform

I see many brands and individuals mess this up because they have an odd Expectation that simply by having an account, somehow they are marketing themselves
Twitter is a 24 seven platform and every user is looking for would interest them

If your intention is to grow your account, you must have a clear theme to what you are offering and talking about
2. Be personal

being anonymous will always work against you, people do not feel loyalty to anonymous accounts

It’s impossible to cultivate a tribe if you do not share yourself honestly

1/ It’s a toy. It’s the next big thing. Tech is magical. Tech is trivial. When talking about “blockchain” it is easy to debate in abstract.

But what about when you’re living a potential technology transition/disruption.

A story about Microsoft Office.
By 2000 Office enjoyed a solid 8 years of explosive growth reaching $10B in revenue that year. Product “pivoted” from individual to enterprise purchasing and IT deployment. It seemed extremely secure. Microsoft's Office 2000, scheduled to be released to volume-license customers this week, is a major step up from Office 97. …For companies who are already standardized on the 95 or 97 versions of Microsoft Office, the move to Office 2000 should be a no-brainer. And even for those who are not, moving to Office 2000 offers some compelling benefits.
Competition from prior gen (Lotus/IBM, Borland, WordPerfect) still “existed”. New competition was “Open” Office which was an open source copy. We were confident in execution abilities that lesser/free product wouldn’t pose material threat.

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
