Book excerpt: It is often said that salespeople would rather sell than spend a day learning how to do it. They think time is money and every hour spent in training is money lost and time wasted. But what they fail to understand is that learning how to do sales effectively is actually a catalyst for great sales results for the organization and excellent sales performance for the individual. It is worth noting that while sales is one of the easiest careers to get into, it is not as easy to sustain and spend a life in. So to put it in simpler words, “Everyone can be a sales person, but not everyone can be a successful sales person” To be a successful salesperson it is important to have a deep understanding of the industry you cater to. While the general skill set remains the same, it is the deeper and niche understanding that has the power to differentiate the best from the rest. In the market, there are numerous books and articles on various sales techniques available. In this book, I am discussing the 'Nine habits of highly effective software sales professionals'. The title gives you a broad idea of what this book is all about, but more than nine habits, it is packed with 30 years of my personal and professional experience in the software industry and managing clients. I provided more emphasis on how successful sales professionals; sales leaders and their companies organize themselves with short-term and long-term planning and adopt disciplined execution on those plans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many international students, pursuing higher education in the United States is a dream come true. However, navigating the complex regulations of maintaining F1 student visa status, and transitioning to H-1B status can be complex and daunting for many students. As an F1 visa holder, you are required to maintain your student status to remain in the United States legally. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in serious consequences, including the revocation of your visa and even deportation. There have been spikes in the number of Request for Evidences (RFES) issued during the H-1B applications adjudication process. This is due to lack of evidence submitted by the petitioners to prove their compliance in maintaining the F1 (and OPT/CPT) statuses. Often, this also results in H-1B petition denial, forcing the students to wait multiple years for their H-1B visa. This book is designed to guide F1 visa students to understand the requirements for maintaining their student status and provide practical guidance on how to stay compliant with these regulations whether you are enrolled in a University, or undergoing OPT (or CPT), or planning to transition to H-1B visa. Whether you are a first-time international student or have been studying in the United States for some time, this book offers valuable insights into the nuances of F1 visa regulations. The author, Dr Raghu Korrapati, draws upon his extensive experience working with international students and navigating the US visa system. With clear, concise language and actionable advice, this book is an essential resource for any international student seeking to maximize their educational experience in the United States while maintaining legal status, complying with regulations, and achieving their career goals.

Book excerpt: Most salespeople lose the deal before they ever get started! It isn't uncommon for the customer to have already made a decision before most salespeople even learn of the opportunity. Most salespeople have to beat the preferred competitor by a significant margin just to be considered equivalent. Don't you wish that you could be the preferred vendor in all of your opportunities? Selling is a difficult career in which to make a living; it is not uncommon to have the commission check denied before the salesperson even gets a chance to win. Analysis of thousands of sales situations has made it phenomenally obvious that most salespeople begin their sales campaign so late in the decision-making process that they are virtually guaranteed to lose the order. To make matters worse, when they do start the campaign early enough, most salespeople do not know how to control the prospect adequately so that they can guarantee their victory. Typical turnover for a sales department is 10-20%. Many companies see turnover that approaches 40-60%! This turnover costs them 50% of their revenue-generating capability. In any organization that exceeds 25% turnover, the loss of trust with the customer can be astounding as the new salesperson tries to rebuild the entire relationship. In any given quarter dozens or hundreds of companies do not make their forecasted numbers and are dramatically punished by Wall Street. This book will provide the management of a company with a framework to teach their salespeople how to attain their quotas with higher profits. It will also allow salespeople to rise to the top of their organization and be the super-achievers who win awards, trips, bonuses, and respect. In this book, I will show you how to eliminate your competition and maximize your commission.

Book excerpt: Baseline Selling - How to Become a Sales Superstar by Using What You Already Know About the Game of Baseball, will dramatically change the way we approach the sales process, replacing the gratuitous complexity advocated by today's sales "experts" with an elegant and very effective simplicity. Studies have shown that the selling techniques of the last two decades have had very little impact on most of the sales population less than 75 percent of all salespeople, to be exact. Why? Because of the complexity, learning curve and difficulty in applying the concepts in these systems. In response to the urgent need for a flexible, innovative process that will enable people to grasp the essential skills necessary to close a sale in any situation, Baseline Selling reemphasizes the fundamentals of selling in a fresh, memorable way that modern sales professionals can relate to and utilize, and above all, one that complements and enriches advanced sales methodologies. Salespeople who read this book and put its wisdom to work will succeed at acquiring more opportunities as they learn to get appointments more easily. They will excel at creating opportunities with prospects who are "not interested". They'll sell at higher margins by using the "Rule of Ratios". Their closing percentages will improve dramatically as they implement the simple Inoffensive Close". Salespeople selling commodities, struggling to differentiate themselves, will love "Commodity Busters" and every salesperson will be able to shorten their sell cycle by "Taking a Lead". Quite simply, Baseline Selling introduces a way for salespeople to visualize and touch all the "sales bases" without over-complicating the process.
