The worst thing one can do in business is take anything for granted and get too comfortable. At the same time, I must admit that I was one of those caught a bit off-guard hearing about new AI tools, use cases, and potential within the future of work, and in our case, revenue generation.

During times when business can be happening slower, in a slowed economy, finding any way to speed things up is important. What if there was some science around helping your buyers buy in a better way, or an easier manner? One of the reasons I did some heavy research seven years ago was that as a sales trainer and consultant, I could not show enough ROI for the time and money clients were investing in our work.

When a great new sales leadership book emerges, I want to be one of the first ones to share it. When a fantastic book about emotional intelligence comes out – I want to shout it from the mountain tops. When a book with BOTH comes out – sales leadership AND emotional intelligence, I’m doing a happy dance.

The subtitle says only part of what this new book is about: “Winning Customers Away from your Competition”. For me as someone who reads nearly every new book on professional, B2B selling I felt Anthony under-promoted the huge issue of KEEPING clients. It is an issue of mammoth proportion, and one I grappled with when I sold products and services that could be easily cancelled (SaaS software, for example) or that were in a competitive industry.

Passion, focus and enthusiasm for what you do as a professional seller are important keys to success. Think of someone you met or saw recently who has a passion for life and a fervor for their career. They are not your everyday colleague, right? They do what they love. Instead of starting to talk about something negative, they talk about the business they will develop today - the people they will impact - and the things they will learn.
