The founder and CEO of leading sales strategy consulting firm Sales Architects teaches business owners, executives, and salespeople how to win more deals at the prices they want by creating differentiation in the sales process.

"If we don't drop our price, we will lose the deal." That's the desperate cry sales management executives are accustomed to hearing from their salespeople. While the easy answer is to drop the price, the company sacrifices margin - oftentimes, unnecessarily.

To win deals at the prices you want, the needed strategy is differentiation. Most executives think marketing is the sole source of differentiation, but sales differentiation presents an untapped opportunity to create meaningful value and stand out from the competition.

Sales Differentiation presents 19 easy-to-implement concepts to help salespeople win deals while protecting margin. These concepts are applicable to any salesperson in any industry and are based on the foundation that how you sell, not just what you sell, differentiates you.

The audiobook's what you sell section helps salespeople and executives identify what their true differentiators are, determine the right circumstances to share them, and develop a strategy to position them in a compelling way with buyers.

In every stage of the seller-buyer interaction, opportunities exist for differentiation in how you sell, such as how to creatively get in the door with buyers who say they are happy, shape buyer decision criteria aligned with your differentiators, turn a buyer's request for references into a way to stand out from the competition, and much more!

Mediocre salespeople say what they sell is the "best". Top salespeople position "different" and lead their clients to say "best" without them ever uttering the word.

Learn how your start-up business can benefit through early-stage investment, sales revenue, or partnership by identifying and aligning with corporate innovation initiatives within larger companies.

Corporations are becoming desperate to change their culture (and perception) as giant, bureaucratic dinosaurs that are too slow to react in a rapidly changing business landscape. They are all trying to be more innovative and agile, more "start-up like". One of the easy ways to do this is through acquiring or partnering with a start-up. While it was once rare to find a large corporation listed among shareholders on a start-up cap table, corporate venture capital (CVC) now makes up 25 percent (about $18 billion) of all venture capital dollars in North America. To tap into this growing source of capital, start-ups need to understand how corporations operate and what they are looking to gain in these relationships.

The Startup Gold Mine reveals how the world's largest and most prestigious brands make innovation decisions, including new product launches, vendor/start-up partnerships, and even billion-dollar acquisitions - and how start-ups can take advantage of corporate's strengths and weaknesses to their benefit. Author Neil Soni draws on his experience as an entrepreneur and in external innovation with premier brands like Estée Lauder, MAC, and Smashbox to share the hidden inner workings of large companies as well as how start-up founders and employees can use this knowledge to close the biggest deals of their lives. 

If you've ever wanted to learn how some start-up founders manage to partner with a brand like UnderArmour, get acquired by a behemoth like General Motors, or sell their services to Bacardi, The Startup Gold Mine shares all that and much more, including: 

* How to understand who your large company counterpart is, what they are incentivized to do, and how to get them to take actions that benefit your start-up
* Why the "Innovator's Dilemma" is leading large companies to seek out insurance policies that come in the form of partnerships with start-ups
* A complete start-to-finish playbook for getting a deal done with a large company, from first connection to getting paid
* A troubleshooting guide for common land mines start-ups run into when trying to work with large companies
* How to navigate the convoluted corporate innovation landscape without blowing a fortune on conferences and consultants

Wow your customers . . . with "less." Cut costs - it's a common corporate refrain. But if you constantly slash expenditures, what happens to innovation? How can you stay competitive and satisfy customers? Costovation solves the dilemma of how to spend less and innovate more. 

The audiobook's revolutionary approach broadens the definition of innovation beyond products to the business model itself. With costovation, you let go of assumptions, take a fresh look at the market, and relentlessly focus on what customers really want. Consider Planet Fitness - it grew to 7.3 million members by concentrating on casual exercisers. Those folks don't care about frills. They want easy, low-cost access to good equipment. Although it's inexpensive to run, Planet Fitness ranks highest in gym satisfaction. Gourmet grocer, Picard, sells only frozen food. With less perishable inventory, they compress costs while delighting a discerning but busy clientele. 

Packed with examples and interactive exercises, the book explores cost innovation strategies that work for big and small companies alike. From open innovation and cost-sharing to simplifying products and turning waste into new offerings - listeners learn how rivals are carving out niches, protecting positions, and dominating industries. Innovation and cost-cutting are not opposites. Combined, they expose untapped opportunities to outsmart and underspend competitors.

When people think about the world's growth markets, they often envision countries like China and India. Yet they miss the largest one right here at home, no matter where you call home: women.

"The teenage years don't have to be defined by conflict. Dial Down the Drama gives moms practical solutions grounded in neuroscience that transform the eye rolls and one-word answers into healthy relationships with their daughters. I highly recommend it." (Jack Canfield, coauthor, Chicken Soup for the Mother Daughter Soul) 

One moment, your daughter is fun-loving and energetic - a pleasure to be around. The next, she's sulking in silence, or worse, screaming and slamming the door. Congratulations, you're the mother of a teenage girl. 

Your daughter is on an emotional roller coaster. Responding in kind just adds fuel to the fire and erodes your relationship. Teens need a stable anchor - a mom who calmly de-escalates scenes and parents intentionally, even when her child is pushing away. 

Authored by a popular family therapist, Dial Down the Drama reveals how to reclaim your center and reconnect with your teen. It helps you: 

* Regain perspective 
* Break the cycle of conflict 
* Tune in to your daughter without drowning in her drama 
* Foster spontaneous conversations 
* Understand the developing adolescent brain and how it influences behavior 
* Appreciate her for who she is now - a wonderful work in progress 
* Replace worrying and overreacting with effective communication and action 
* Forge a healthy and lasting bond together

Moodiness, anger, and defiance can stress the best of us. This empowering guide gives you the tools you need to defuse the drama - and dial up the joy.

More than 50 years since the passage of the Equal Pay Act, the wage gap still hovers at 80 percent. Half a billion dollars are spent annually on corporate diversity programs, yet only 5 percent of CEOs in the Fortune 500 are women. Lean Out is an ambitious attempt to answer the question few dare to ask: What have we gotten wrong about women at work? 

Based on in-depth research and personal experiences, Lean Out is inspired by the journey of Marissa Orr, a single mom of three trying to succeed in her 15-year career at the world's top tech giants. In an eye-opening account, Orr exposes the systemic dysfunction at the heart of today's most powerful corporations and how their pursuit to close the gender gap has come at the expense of female well-being. 

"Fewer women at the top is a clear signal that the system is broken", says Orr. "With female-dominant strengths such as empathy and consensus-building being the future of business, the headlines forecast that women will dominate the future generations of corporate leaders. But that won't happen until prescriptions for success stop requiring women to act more like men, mistaking traits such as empathy as signals of weakness." 

Lean Out provides a new and refreshingly candid perspective on what it's really like for today's corporate underdogs, while challenging modern feminist rhetoric and debunking the belief that everyone has to be the same in order to be equal. Offering compelling new arguments for the reasons more women don't make it to the top, Lean Out presents a revolutionary path forward, to change the life trajectories of women in the corporate world and beyond.

If the name Randal Pinkett sounds familiar, it may be because Pinkett was the first African American winner on The Apprentice. When he won, this black man also became the only contestant to be asked to share his victory - with a white woman. The request (and Pinkett's subsequent refusal) set off a firestorm of controversy that inevitably focused on the issue of race in the American workplace and in society. For generations, African Americans have been told that to succeed, they need to work twice as hard as everyone else. But as millions of black Americans were reminded by Pinkett's experience, sometimes hard work is not enough. 

Black Faces in White Places is about "the game" - that is, the competitive world in which we all live and work. The audiobook offers 10 revolutionary strategies for playing, mastering, and changing the game for the current generation, while undertaking a wholesale redefinition of the rules for those who will follow. It is not only about shattering the old "glass ceiling" but also about examining the four dimensions of the contemporary black experience: identity, society, meritocracy, and opportunity. Ultimately, it is about changing the very concept of success itself. 

Based on the authors' considerable experiences in business, in the public eye, and in the minority, the audiobook shows how African American professionals can (and must) think and act both entrepreneurially and "intrapreneurially", combine their collective strengths with the wisdom of others, and plant the seeds of a positive and lasting legacy.

Can you handle the truth? Can succeeding in sales be as simple as hooking up the latest CRM tool or perfecting your social media profiles and waiting for qualified leads to automatically show up in your inbox? Are you having trouble believing what the new self-proclaimed "experts" keep posting on LinkedIn and beginning to question their proclamation that everything in sales has changed? 

Welcome to the world of sales, where the one constant you can bank on is the noise from so-called experts and thought leaders who want to convince you everything has changed and that you need their latest tools, toys, or tricks to stay even or get ahead of the pack. Yet, ironically, it seems that the more of these new miracle solutions you adopt, the harder it is to get results. 

In Sales Truth, Mike Weinberg offers a blunt wake-up call to salespeople and sales leaders on how to get past the noise and nonsense, so you can start winning more new sales. Here's the truth: 

Many of these so-called sales experts lack clients, credibility, and a track record of helping sellers achieve breakthrough results. 
The number of "likes" a sales improvement article receives is often inversely proportional to its accuracy or helpfulness to the typical seller or sales team. 
What has worked exceedingly well in sales and sales management for the past couple of decades is still the (not so) secret to sales success today, and you can discover these accessible, simple truths and best practices that will drive the results you want in this bold new book.

Find and kill the corporate stupidity that drives customers crazy. CEO and award-winning business writer John R. Brandt offers concrete examples of how any organization - large or small, and regardless of industry - can innovate in ways that delight customers and attract top-level talent.

Nincompoopery - terrible customer service, idiotic business processes, and soul-crushing management practices - surrounds all of us. We lose time, patience, and profits as stuck-in-the-past organizations actively prevent us (and our customers) from getting the value we (and they) deserve. 

Can't anybody change this? CEO and award-winning business writer John R. Brandt says we can. In Nincompoopery: Why Your Customers Hate You - And How to Fix It, he leverages research across thousands of companies to show leaders how to find and kill the corporate stupidity that drives customers crazy. More importantly, he offers concrete examples of how any organization - large or small, and regardless of industry - can innovate in ways that delight customers and attract top-level talent.

Brandt has worked with hundreds of companies to help them outwit competitors, and in the blunt (and funny) Nincompoopery, he shares his unique blueprint for success. It usually starts by asking a simple question or two, such as:

Why should our customers have to rekey their data multiple times to make a single purchase?
Why are there four levels of approval just to order basic supplies?
Why can't we get qualified candidates for open positions, or provide new employees with decent training?

In short: How did we become such nincompoops? And when will we stop? 

Nincompoopery offers leaders the answers they need - and the profits they crave - with a scoop of humor on the side. Enjoy!

* You can spend a lot more than 4 percent a year of your savings when you retire.
* Don't shun annuities and whole life insurance policies; use the right ones and use them cleverly.

Retirement should be a time to enjoy family, friends, and travel, without worrying about your financial security. Josh Jalinski shows you how to maximize your retirement spending, while still having something to leave behind to your loved ones and favorite causes.

It's time create a new paradigm, one that will stand up against market volatility and be there when it's time to enjoy the years you worked so hard for. Do you have enough saved to enjoy your retirement? Will you be able to fund your bucket list? Are you prepared to for the tax increases and medical bills that come with retirement?

In this practical new guide, Jalinski guides you through his proven system for planning for a secure retirement that lets you enjoy your money, including:

* Tax-saving strategies to maximize the amount of money you have available to spend on experiences, travel, and expenses.
