Christmas has arrived in the town of Wynbridge and it promises mince pies, mistletoe and a whole host of seasonal joy.

Ruby has finished with university and is heading home for the holidays to save up for her trip around the world in January. Against her father’s wishes, she takes on a stall at the local market, and sets about making it the best Christmas market stall ever. There’ll be bunting and mistletoe and maybe even a bit of mulled wine.

But with a new retail park just opened on their doorstep, the market is under threat. So together with all the other stallholders, Ruby devises a plan to make sure that Wynbridge is the first port of call for everyone’s Christmas shopping needs.

The only thing standing in her way is Ruby’s ex, Steve. It’s pretty hard to concentrate on saving the world when he works on the stall opposite, especially when she realises that her feelings for him are still there…

This Christmas make time for some winter sparkle – and see who might be under the mistletoe this year…

Title: Selling in Manufacturing and Logistics: The Twelve Key Strategies for Managers and Salespeople

Author: Ken Guest, Mike Jones

Narrator: Sean Pratt

Format: Unabridged

Length: 04:49:55

Language: English

Release date: 11-01-18

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Business & Economics, Sales & Retail

Summary:

Two 'blue-collar bulldogs' with a combined half-century of experience share a proven twelve-point system for sales success within the complex, multi-layered, and demanding field of manufacturing and logistics.

Everyone is selling, all the time—but not everyone sells well, and not everyone realizes that selling is what's happening. This is true to some degree in all aspects of business, but it is particularly true for businesses involved in the manufacturing, distribution, and delivery of products.

There are so many different departments that must come together in collaboration to ensure the successful delivery of a product—and consequently a satisfied customer—that everyone along the chain should, ideally, be selling all the time, to everyone, in every department. That's a major task! This book shows managers and salespeople what works when it comes to connecting all the dots . . . and, just as important, what doesn't work. The system it outlines works for sellers in any company that manufactures, distributes, or delivers products to end users.

Selling in Manufacturing and Logistics outlines a proven twelve-point system for sales success within these mature vertical sectors of the economy. Jones and Guest's twelve key strategies for sales professionals in this dynamic field, all based on the Sandler Selling System, are as follows:

1. Understand the Players

2. Get in Front of the Right Prospects

3. Set the Plan

4. Leverage Both Digital and Voice to Voice Prospecting

5. Take Control of the Selling Day

6. Set Expectations

7. Known When to Bid . . . and When Not to Bid

8. De-Commoditize Your Offering

9. Follow Up Strategically

10. Think Beyond the 'Close'

11. Grow 'Accounts' into 'Relationships'

12. Make Accountability a Way of Life

These twelve 'blue-collar bulldog' strategies will help you identify the best ways to move the sales process forward, step away from 'opportunities' that won't turn into anything, and get today's technology to work for you, rather than you working hard for the technology. If you follow this program, you will have additional time, and more focused time, to spend in front of the right prospects . . . you will get decisions sooner . . . and you will close more sales.

The book features a special appendix on effective strategies for the hiring and retention of drivers—a perennial 'hot button' issue for leaders in these companies.

Title: Jeeves and the King of Clubs

Author: Ben Schott

Narrator: James Lance

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:25:00

Language: English

Release date: 11-01-18

Publisher: Penguin Books LTD

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Literary Fiction

Summary:

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Jeeves and the King of Clubs, written by Ben Schott and read by James Lance.

'Impossible to read without grinning idiotically' - Mark Sanderson, Evening Standard

Storm clouds loom over Europe. Treason is afoot in the highest social circles. The very security of the nation is in peril. Jeeves, it transpires, has long been an agent of British Intelligence, but now His Majesty's Government must turn to the one man who can help . . . Bertie Wooster.

In this magnificent new homage to P. G. Wodehouse, Ben Schott leads Jeeves and Wooster on an uproarious adventure of espionage through the secret corridors of Whitehall, the sunlit lawns of Brinkley Court, and the private clubs of St James's.

We encounter an unforgettable cast of characters old and new including outraged chefs and exasperated aunts, disreputable politicians and gambling bankers, slushy debs and Cockney cabbies, sphinx-like tailors, and sylph-like spies.

There is treachery to be foiled, naturally, but also horses to be backed, auctions to be fixed, engagements to be escaped, madmen to be blackballed, and a new variety of condiment to be cooked up.

Jeeves & the King of Clubs is essential reading for aficionados of The Master, and a perfect introduction to the joys of Jeeves and Wooster for those who have never before dipped their toe.

Title: Gifts Differing: Understanding Personality Type

Author: Isabel Briggs Myers

Narrator: Patricia Rodriguez

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:22:34

Language: English

Release date: 10-31-18

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Summary:

Like a thumbprint, personality type provides an instant snapshot of a person's uniqueness. Drawing on concepts originated by Carl Jung, this book distinguishes four categories of personality styles and shows how these qualities determine the way you perceive the world and come to conclusions about what you've seen. It then explains what they mean for your success in school, at a job, in a career and in your personal relationships.

For more than 60 years, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) tool has been the most widely used instrument in the world for determining personality type, and for more than 25 years, Gifts Differing has been the preeminent source for understanding it.
