Ultra Lean Sales offers a solution for three discontinuities which happen at the same time: 1) the buying behaviours of customers are changing fast, 2) the analytic tools are developing and becoming one with artificial intelligence, and 3) Lean methods are also used in the improvement of sales processes, in addition to production and service processes. The only certain thing is the speed of change! In the center of everything is continuous learning and credible analyzing of root causes. How can we learn from won/lost offers and mistakes made in previous offers and utilize the analyzed information we have in order to improve the offer win rate? In short, Ultra Lean Sales answers the following questions: 1) How do I win an offer? 2) How do I learn from offers that were lost? 3) How do I eliminate my weaknesses? 4) How do I stand out from my competitors? In order for you to make a winning offer, you need to learn from other similar offers - in real-time. This is possible with Lean sales by utilizing the specialised Ultra Lean Sales dashboard. In addition to independent reading, this book is also used as learning material in Ultra Lean Sales training courses. More information about the training and e-learning opportunities can be found at: www.ultraleanbusiness.com. "If we adopt a discipline and provide accurate information, Ultra Lean Sales will have substantial impact (A Harvard Case)" comments Vatche Beujekian, customer team head, Nokia.

Book excerpt: Most startups fail. But many of those failures are preventable. The Lean Startup is a new approach being adopted across the globe, changing the way companies are built and new products are launched. Eric Ries defines a startup as an organization dedicated to creating something new under conditions of extreme uncertainty. This is just as true for one person in a garage or a group of seasoned professionals in a Fortune 500 boardroom. What they have in common is a mission to penetrate that fog of uncertainty to discover a successful path to a sustainable business. The Lean Startup approach fosters companies that are both more capital efficient and that leverage human creativity more effectively. Inspired by lessons from lean manufacturing, it relies on “validated learning,” rapid scientific experimentation, as well as a number of counter-intuitive practices that shorten product development cycles, measure actual progress without resorting to vanity metrics, and learn what customers really want. It enables a company to shift directions with agility, altering plans inch by inch, minute by minute. Rather than wasting time creating elaborate business plans, The Lean Startup offers entrepreneurs—in companies of all sizes—a way to test their vision continuously, to adapt and adjust before it’s too late. Ries provides a scientific approach to creating and managing successful startups in a age when companies need to innovate more than ever.

Following her previous book, The Million-Dollar, One-Person Business, Pofeldt gives readers the steps toward their next entrepreneurial venture, including testing an idea’s market viability while limiting risk, finding cash without giving up control, protecting your personal time and avoiding burn out, and knowing when it is time to start micro-scaling. Pofeldt’s focus is always on staying lean financially so that you can achieve your personal goals on an average person’s budget. In this book, Pofeldt profiles nearly 60 microbusinesses that have all reached $1 million in annual revenue without losing control or selling out. Tiny Business, Big Money also includes the results of a survey with the founders of 50 seven-figure microbusinesses that got to $1 million with no payroll or very small teams, which provides deeper visibility into their shared principles of success that you can apply to your own small business.
