Acerca de esta escucha
This is the story of a salesman who worked for Avery, the biggest scale company in the world, and how he learned secrets that only the most professional salesmen share. In this book the techniques and tips that make selling easy are revealed.
Birth of a Salesman explores the unique world of the specialty salesman who finds and closes his own deals. It's a personal account of a seminal part of my life, but, by writing it, I realized it is also a snapshot of an ever-changing world, something you might find in a dusty old suitcase and wonder about.
I was bright eyed, energetic, and enthusiastic when I joined Avery, and that is why this book is called Birth of a Salesman, dealing, as it does, with the early part of my business life. Avery took a naive young man with no selling experience and created a salesman. Like many others who went on to become captains of industry, the sales training that Avery gave me was the foundation for a successful and rewarding career.

A business parable about how to create a start-up that won't trap you when you want to sell it. According to John Warrillow, the number one mistake entrepreneurs make is to build a business that relies too heavily on them. Thus, when the time comes to sell, buyers aren't confident that the company-even if it's profitable-can stand on its own. To illustrate this, Warrillow introduces us to a fictional small business owner named Alex who is struggling to sell his advertising agency.

Sales is a skill anyone can learn and master - and introverts are especially good at it once they learn how to leverage their natural strengths. Introverts aren't comfortable with traditional tactics like aggressively pushing a product or talking over a customer's objections. That's the beauty of The Introvert's Edge: it doesn't focus on the sale itself but on a sales system that helps introverts feel sincere instead of sales-y.

Few entrepreneurs can claim to have radically changed the way we live, and Ray Kroc is one of them. His revolutions in food-service automation, franchising, shared national training, and advertising have earned him a place beside the men and women who have founded not only businesses, but entire empires. But even more interesting than Ray Kroc the business man is Ray Kroc the man. Not your typical self-made tycoon, Kroc was 52 years old when he opened his first franchise.

While playing hooky from a conference in Boston a few years back, three former colleagues from Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management hopped in a car and headed on a road trip. They pulled into a shoe store in Maine and noticed that the sales help was unusually pushy. After a few questions, they discovered the store had a "secret shopper" program, in which employees would be marked down if they were not sufficiently aggressive with customers. A lightbulb went off.
