How to Influence

By Michael St Lawrence

Based on a 3 year research project that involved interviews with over 300 Sales Executives, this compact book examines why over 80% of all salespeople in all industries make the same four results limiting mistakes on most of their sales interactions. The book shows exactly what needs to happen to break these bad habits with clear, easy to execute examples of what top performers do today that all salespeople can learn and master.

“How to influence is a better way to sell. I’ve read a lot of books on selling and have never seen a more effective way of approaching a sales interaction and communicating in a way that really differentiates what we do from our competitors. This is a more modern approach to selling that combines the best of relationship building and disruptive, challenger style selling.”
IT Services Account Manager
