Selling Through Tough Times: Grow Your Profits and Mental Resilience Through any Downturn by Paul Reilly

About the Book:

As a sales professional, you know that it’s harder to sell in tough times―whether it’s a recession, industry-wide challenge, or global pandemic.

You may also have noticed that some salespeople and managers not only survive but thrive through tough times. How do they do it? What do they do to thrive through adversity?

Paul Reilly explains it all in Selling Through Tough Times:

Customers buy differently in tough times, so salespeople need to sell differently in tough times. In this eye-opening and indispensable guide, he shows how to develop the right mindset and adapt your skills to prevail in even the most challenging selling climate.

His plan includes both immediate, hands-on action plans (including six Daily Mental Flex activities) as well as longer-range strategies to ensure you (and your team) never get caught on the back foot again.

While the principles of selling are constant, Reilly demonstrates how changing your tactics in tough times will not only help you through current difficulties but help you emerge stronger.

You’ll discover how to redefine value in customer terms, reposition products and services, and how to employ different persuasion tactics.

You’ll also learn how to select and pursue the right opportunities, win more deals, and―crucially―protect profit by embracing the “tough timers” mental attitude.

Tough times are inevitable and often unpredictable. But in Selling Through Tough Times, you’ll find the tools and mindset you need to power through them―and come out on top.

About the Author:

Paul Riley is a speaker, sales trainer, and author. He is the co-author of Value-Added Selling and hosts The Q&A Sales Podcast.

In his extensive sales career, Paul has sold through tough times and against tough competition. He cut his teeth in the commoditized propane industry – a notoriously price-sensitive and competitive market. He sold tools and fasteners in the construction industry during the Great Recession and sold medical equipment during one of the most uncertain times in the healthcare industry.

And, interesting fact – he has a degree in marketing and is a fanatic golfer who has hit a hole in one!
