Story
One of the biggest myths that plagues the business world today is that our ability to network depends on having the “gift-of-gab”. You don’t have to be outgoing to be successful at networking. You don’t have to become a relentless self-promoter. In fact, you don’t have to act like an extrovert at all. Matthew Pollard, an introvert himself, draws on over a decade of research and real-world examples to provide an actionable blueprint for introverted networking.

From ADHD and dyslexia to autism, the number of diagnosis categories listed by the American Psychiatric Association has tripled in the last fifty years. With so many affected, it is time to revisit our perceptions of people with disabilities. Psychologist and educator Thomas Armstrong illuminates a new understanding of neuropsychological disorders. He argues that if they are a part of the natural diversity of the human brain, they cannot simply be defined as illnesses. Armstrong explores the evolutionary advantages, special skills, and other positive dimensions of these conditions.

Story
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.

Knowing how to deal with intense, overwhelming, or uncomfortable feelings is essential to building confidence, emotional strength, and resilience.

Publisher's Summary
The revolutionary sales approach scientifically proven to dramatically improve your sales and business success.
Did you know that nearly half of salespeople fail to meet their quotas every year? Or that many of the most common sales behaviors drive down sales performance? In today's fiercely competitive marketplace, you can't afford to lose sales that should be yours. But with so much conflicting advice from self-proclaimed "gurus", how do you know which sales strategies actually work?
Leading sales trainer, researcher, and CEO of Hoffeld Group David Hoffeld has the answer. Blending cutting-edge research in social psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral economics, The Science of Selling shows you how to align the way you sell with how our brains naturally form buying decisions, dramatically increasing your ability to earn more sales. Unlike other sales books, which primarily rely on anecdotal evidence and unproven advice, Hoffeld's evidence-based approach connects the dots between science and situations salespeople and business leaders face every day to help you consistently succeed, including proven ways to:
- Engage buyers' emotions to increase their receptiveness to you and your ideas
- Ask questions that line up with how the brain discloses information
- Lock in the incremental commitments that lead to a sale
- Create positive influence and reduce the sway of competitors
- Discover the underlying causes of objections and neutralize them
- Guide buyers through the necessary mental steps to make purchasing decisions
Packed with advice and anecdotes, The Science of Selling is an essential resource for anyone looking to succeed in today's cutthroat selling environment, advance their business goals, or boost their ability to influence others.
What the critics say
“Everyone needs to sell, not just the sales professional. This book shares top selling strategies backed by scientific data on how the mind makes trust and buying decisions, so you get best practice and the proof behind what makes them so effective.” (Forbes)
“A crisp, unmissable guide.... Hoffeld's deft guidebook is a must-read for salespeople unsatisfied with anecdotal evidence and hungry for real data to improve their techniques.” (Publishers Weekly)
“A terrific book! Sales trainer David Hoffeld has built his selling methods on a solid foundation of science. Let his research-based insights into why people buy help you increase sales and retain loyal customers.” (Daniel H. Pink, best-selling author of To Sell Is Human)

Great book. Needs a new voice actor.
Great book but I can’t get over the fact that the Narrator’s voice was beyond annoying. His nasally voice is simply unacceptable, I guess it was narrated by the author; he definitely needs to stick to writing… Very valuable info in here so I forced myself through it but it pained me the whole time. Note to the author: hire a vocal coach!

I'm sure this is a great book but I couldn't make it past chapter 2. The nasally naration is like getting poked in the ears with a hot metal rod. Permanently shelved this one.

pinched nose reader. lots of filler
I'm sure there's a lot to be taken from this book. which I was quite looking forward to. However I'm almost an hour into it and all that I've gotten is the same point repeated over and over just with different words. That scientific method is the way to go. Yes, I get that. I got that the first time no need to repeat it 6 times like your a high school student trying to achieve the minimum word count required for their book report.
Ontop of the huge filler everything is read by a man who is so nasally that I mistook him for that Jewish girl from The Nanny.
Between the two factors I've stopped listening and would not recommend this audiobook.
