Recommendation

Best-selling author Weldon Long asserts that you can get sales prospects to commit to your price, make timely decisions and agree not to solicit competing proposals – all by using his proven “consistency-selling” process. By age 40, Long was a high school dropout and three-time convicted felon. Since then, he’s written two books – The Power of Consistency and The Upside of Fear – and developed a psychologically powerful selling system for salespeople and sales managers. Long, who’s taught his psychology-based sales system to thousands of sales professionals over the years, tells you how to use it to eliminate objections in advance and close new business. He offers detailed, practical advice for salespeople who wish to improve their closure rates and earnings.

Successful salespeople consistently get prospects to say, up front and in public, that they don’t need numerous proposals from different vendors, that price isn’t the controlling criterion for the sale and that it’s not necessary to “think about it” further when...
