The Biggest Differentiator In A Competitive Marketplace Is You
The familiar adage that “It’s a jungle out there” applies to sellers and sales organizations now more than ever. Competitors are hungry for business; decision makers are wary of change; and the market is crowded with products and services that are barely distinguishable from one another. Meanwhile, the tried-and-true sales methods of the past are simply no longer effective in a world where customers aren’t sure whom to trust.
According to Thomas A. Freese, author of the contemporary sales methodology classic Secrets of Question Based Selling, the single most effective way to separate yourself and your offerings from all the noise in the marketplace is to sell yourself first. After all, you are the greatest asset your competition lacks. Freese has helped thousands of salespeople worldwide become more effective at penetrating new accounts, positioning a unique value proposition, and closing more business. In this audio book, he will show you how to leverage your own personal assets to win the confidence of customers by displaying a host of intangible attributes such as credibility, competence, confidence, integrity, creativity, attitude, and thought leadership. Ultimately, by maximizing your ability to convey a more impactful value proposition, you give yourself an unfair advantage over the competition to win more sales, using innovative strategies such as:
- Acknowledge the elephant in the room: Knowing that customers are naturally skeptical and standoffish toward vendors, sellers gain a significant competitive advantage by acknowledging the customer’s uncertainty right off the bat. Especially in competitive situations, customers want to know whom to trust, and your ability to earn credibility early might be the difference between winning the business or coming in second place.
- Treat every sales call like a job interview: The fact that everyone is familiar with a job interview scenario makes it the perfect metaphor for selling yourself first. Truth is, every job interview is also a sales situation, and every sale is a job interview. Thus, decision makers want to focus more on how you can help address their goals, rather than just hearing a sales pitch.
- Use mini-invitations to secure more mind share: Any experienced salesperson knows you can’t just barrage customers with features and benefits. Instead, the real skill is causing people to want to engage in a mutual dialogue about their needs and your value. Freese will show you how to lower a prospect’s natural defenses, and at the same time, make them more receptive to hearing your value proposition.
Written in a clear, conversational voice, Sell Yourself First is a must read for any salesperson who wants to have an unfair advantage over the competition.

Historia
People don't buy from people they like. No! Your buyer doesn't care about you or your product or service. It's not your job to overcome objections, it's your buyer's. Closing isn't a skill of good salespeople; it's the skill of weak salespeople. Price isn't the main reason salespeople lose the sale. Gap Selling shreds traditional and closely held sales beliefs that have been hurting salespeople for decades. For years, salespeople have embraced a myriad of sales tactics and belief systems that have unknowingly created many of the issues they have been trying to avoid.

The most widely used metaphors in sales are those related to sports, battle, or games. The challenge with this mindset is it requires that one person wins and the other loses. Instead of falling victim to a win-lose approach, what if you shared a common goal with your potential client? How might things change if the client felt that you were more committed to their success than making the sale?

No one is happy. Mahan Khalsa and Randy Illig offer a better way. Salespeople, they argue, do best when they focus 100 percent on helping clients succeed. When customers are successful, both buyer and seller win. When they aren't, both lose.

Goes beyond standard sales book
Many sales audio’s are customer focused and say to ask questions, however the sections on what the buyer and seller are thinking at different stages of the sales cycle makes this a must listen to audio. He presents a way of asking questions that flows with the conversation instead of against it. There are a number of other great nuggets mixed in with the standard sales material. I liked this audio so much I will have to read his “Question Based Selling” book.

Worth The Time and The Dime!
I just finished listening to Sell Yourself First by Thomas A. Freese, and I have to say, it’s one of those standout sales resources that truly redefines the way you approach the entire process. Freese guides you through understanding that the key element in every sales interaction isn’t just the product or service—it’s you. By helping you identify your own strengths, value, and unique story, he flips the script and makes selling a much more authentic and personal exchange.
What really caught me off guard is how easy it was to stay engaged. Freese’s narration feels like a friendly conversation rather than a lecture, and by the time I was done, I felt genuinely more confident about both my sales strategy and my overall professional presence. It’s more than just tips and tricks; it’s a framework that can have a lasting impact on how you connect with clients and prospects.
If you find the insights in Sell Yourself First as impactful as I did, make sure to pick up Question Based Selling, another transformative work by Freese. It takes the next step, showing you how to lead with curiosity, empathy, and understanding, rather than sticking to some dull, one-size-fits-all script. Together, these books form a powerhouse duo, offering you a fresh, human-centered perspective on sales that can level up your game no matter what field you’re in.
