Recommendation

Actress and salesperson Julie Hansen worked as a sales director for the National Enquirer and Star Magazine, and acted in HBO’s Sex and the City, on the New York stage, and in commercials. In this clever manual, she details the special steps actors take to win auditions and to perform well on stage or in front of the camera. She explains how salespeople can adapt these acting techniques to increase sales. getAbstract recommends this fun set of instructions to salespeople and actors willing to try new approaches, and to anyone who has to take the stage.

Take-Aways

  • Salespeople and actors face similar challenges that share similar solutions, so salespeople can borrow some techniques from acting.
  • Methods derived from acting – “the ultimate form of persuasion and engagement” – are more effective than traditional selling practices.
  • To sell, you must make a good first impression. Use three acting methods: Develop a commanding presence, communicate with impact and create a special experience.
