About this ebook
If you want to be consistently successful and persuasive in the sales or negotiation process you need only understand and apply some simple ideas. Make it simple, keep your focus, and work through to a positive result that works for all parties.
As a sales professional or negotiator:
You will be more effective, when you are sensitive and aware of the real needs, motivation and position of your client.
You will be more powerful, when you are clear about your own needs, motivation, position and what you bring to the table.
You will be more persuasive when you learn to actively listen, state your case with clarity and confidence.
We need to explore ways of being more effective with our time which will free up our energy and resources for our most important goal - finding, negotiating with, selling, and retaining our clients.
To be effective in sales and business, you must deal with three areas.
Pain
Gain
Sustaining
To the degree that you work with your clients to take care of these areas your profitability and long term viability will be impacted. If we help people deal with their pain - will they need us when it's gone? Helping them to gain offers a bit more opportunity to serve. But if you can work with them thru the pain, help them gain and then take them thru to helping them grow and sustain growth you will become a major part of their team.

The subtle art of persuasion in the sales and negotiation process
When you want to convert someone to your point of view, you go over to where he is standing, take him by the hand (mentally speaking), and guide him. You don't call him dummy; you don't order him to come over to where you are. You start where he is, and work from that position. That's the only way to get him to budge.
Thomas Aquinas
By Bob ‘Idea Man’ Hooey
"To get to the Promised Land, you need to negotiate your
way through the wilderness."

A very special dedication of this piece of myself, to the two people who meant the most to me, my folks Ron and Marge Hooey. Sadly, both my parents left this earthly realm in 1999. I still miss your encouragement and love. I was blessed with the two of you in my life.
To my amazing wife and professional proof reader, Irene, who loves, encourages, and supports me in my quest to continue sharing my Ideas At Work! across the world. Thank you seems so inadequate for your work in helping make my writing better!
My thanks to the many people who have encouraged me in my growth as a leader, speaker, and engaging trainer in each area of expertise including sales and negotiation. My thanks to a select few friends for your ongoing support and constructive abuse. You know who you are.
