Finally, a Cure for Commission Breath
I read something that made me laugh out loud the other day.
It’s in Aleasha Bahr’s new book “Black Sheep Sales.”
Page 13: Black Sheep Sales Commandments, #10:
“Detach from the sale. It’s about the prospect’s best interests. NO ONE likes commission breath.”
Ooooh, that’s hilariously good.
Most of us have been on the receiving end of a sales call with a rep who’s push-push-pushing for the sale.
You can hear the gears grinding in their brain…
…calculating the commission…
…dreaming of how they’ll spend YOUR dough…
…if only you’ll say, “Yes!”
(Come on! Say, “Yes!” already).
And even if you’re talking to them in a Zoom room or on the telephone…
…the stench overwhelms you.
Stinkier than an anchovy & blue cheese pizza.
Commission breath. Douchebag halitosis.
Aleasha sub-titled her book: “How to Win More Sales Without Acting Like a Douchebag.”
It will help you close more sales. Be less douche-baggy. Cure halitosis. And so much more.
After you order the book, drop by the Mastermind Book Club zoom room today and meet Aleasha in person.
She’ll be talking about her Black Sheep Sales method with Club members.
This will not be like your granny’s book club.
I talk often about “info-taining” content. Deliver valuable information in an entertaining way.
“Black Sheep Sales” is THE most info-taining book I’ve read this year.
Prepare for an info-taining discussion.
Aleasha will deliver entertaining, laugh-out-load stories.
And she’ll share a motherlode of valuable information to make you a more confident, capable, and successful salesperson.
The Mastermind Book Club is a thing Ted Prodromou and I cooked up.
Every month, we choose a great book for members to read and discuss.
On the fourth Thursday of the month, we meet — live on Zoom — to discuss the book and how we may apply its lessons in our businesses.
Sometimes we invite the author to join us (especially if their breath doesn’t stink).
You don’t have to read the book to join the conversation.
But you do have to join the club to get the Zoom link.
Membership costs zero. Ted and I do not get, nor do we want, a commission. Save your dough to buy the book.
Join the Club here. Then join Aleasha, Ted, and me at 2:30 p.m. ET (11:30 a.m. PT) in the Zoom room.
