غالبًا ما يُصعِّب العاملون في المبيعات الأمور على أنفسهم؛ فالبيع عملية تتسم بالوضوح والمباشرة، أما البشر، فليسوا كذلك. في الفصول الثلاثة التالية سنلقي نظرة على القواعد الذهبية الثلاث للبيع، كما سنعرف لماذا يقرر بعض مندوبي المبيعات ترك هذا المجال في أيامهم الأولى. سيساعدك اتباع القواعد الذهبية الثلاث لا محالة، بيد أنه في نهاية المطاف، تدور عملية البيع حول كيفية التفاعل بينك وبين الآخرين. وسنعرف في هذا الفصل لماذا قد يتعامل الناس بغرابة. بل قد يتساءل البائع: ألن تكون الحياة أسهل كثيرًا إذا كان الجميع يشبهوننا؟ في الواقع، من المهم أن نكون قادرين على إتمام صفقات البيع مع مَن تختلف طباعهم مع طباعنا، ولا تتلاءم تصرفاتهم مع ما نعده طبيعيًّا ومألوفًا. ولهذا الغرض سأقدم في الفصلين الرابع والخامس لك مهارات مهمة جدًّا مثل فهم الأنماط السلوكية - لدينا ولدى عملائنا - وتعلم كيفية ملاءمة الأسلوب مع المواقف المتعددة. يأخذكم القسم الأول لاستكشاف الفخاخ التي ستقعون فيها جرَّاء توهمكم أن الأمر يدور حولكم، لا حول الزبائن/ العملاء. كما تغطي فصول القسم الأول مواضيع متنوعة، مثل كيف تسوِّق نفسك، والدقة في الالتزام بالمواعيد، والتعامل مع الرفض، وتبني التوجه المناسب، وأخيرًا الجدية والالتزام.

 

A Best Non-Fiction Book of 2024 from The Next Big Idea Book Club and National Bestseller.

From Seth Godin, one of the world's most influential business thinkers and bestselling author of This is Marketing, comes an essential guide to thinking strategically in a complex, ever-changing world.

"With his signature clarity and brevity, the marketing maven presents memorable, practical advice for making smarter plans." —Adam Grant, author of Think Again

In this unique and thought-provoking book, Godin shares insights on strategy through a series of powerful reflections and observations that will reshape how you approach problems, make decisions, and create change.

“Creating tomorrow by repeating yesterday is not a useful way forward.”

“Every strategy requires choice. And those choices often involve saying ‘no’ to things we could do, but won’t do.”

“It’s not easy to persuade someone to want what you want. It’s much more productive to find people who already want to go where you’d like to take them.”

This is Strategy is a modern classic that offers perspectives you'll find yourself returning to again and again. Rather than providing step-by-step formulas, Godin offers something more valuable: a new way of seeing and thinking about the challenges you face.

You’ll discover how to:

• Identify your "smallest viable audience" and make remarkable work they can't ignore
• Understand and influence the systems shaping our world
• Prioritize long-term thinking over instant gratification
• Make smart, purposeful choices that shape a better tomorrow

Who this book is for:

• Leaders who want to think more deeply about their impact
• Entrepreneurs tired of conventional business advice
• Change-makers seeking lasting transformation in their career and community
• Anyone feeling stuck in outdated systems and looking for a fresh perspective

Strategy turns our effort into impact. Your journey to better thinking starts here.

‘The world's leading expert on habits’ – Matthew Syed, bestselling author of Black Box Thinking and Rebel Ideas

What if you could harness the extraordinary power of your unconscious mind to achieve your goals?

Shockingly, we spend nearly half our day repeating things we've done in the past without thinking about them. How we respond to the people around us; the way we conduct ourselves in meetings; what we buy; when and how we exercise, eat and drink – a truly remarkable number of things we do every day, we do by habit.

And yet, whenever we want to change something about ourselves, we rely on willpower alone. We hope that our determination and intention will be enough to effect positive change. And that is why almost all of us fail.

Professor Wendy Wood is the world's foremost expert on habits. Drawing on three decades of original research, she explains the fascinating science of how we form habits and provides the key to unlocking our habitual mind in order to make the changes we seek.

Combining a potent mix of neuroscience, case studies and experiments conducted in her lab, Good Habits, Bad Habits is a comprehensive, accessible and highly practical book that will change the way you think about almost every aspect of your life.

‘Wendy Wood is the world’s foremost expert in the field, and this book is essential’ – Angela Duckworth, bestselling author of Grit

Sun Tzu's 5th century BC military manual, The Art of War, revolutionized warfare when it was written. In the millennia since, its sage advice has been applied to fields as varied as business, leadership, warfare, politics and everyday life.

Smart Thinking focuses on common thinking challenges – both rational and emotional – and gives you an array of practical solutions, helping you deal with unexpected problems and difficult decisions simply and effectively.
