Research shows that over fifty percent of all business decisions fail; sixty percent of all businesses fail before the sixth year, and eighty-two percent go under before their tenth anniversary; and eight out of every ten new products fail. In direct contrast, research also shows that ninety-one percent of all businesspeople are as confident as ever in making decisions. Decision confidence is up. Success is down. While we are an inventive, entrepreneurial society, an innovation explosion has also been tagged with a business implosion. What gives? 
businessThink is a revolutionary new method that bridges the monumental gap between the results businesses and people want and the failure they often get. This book is the only business training that tomorrow's leaders will need to consistently create effective solutions and take themselves and their associates into the zone of optimum performance. businessThink transforms readers into businessthinkers with provocative new rules for accelerating work while revitalizing the enterprise. With rules like "Check Your Ego at the Door," "Move Off the Solution," "Get Evidence," and "Create Curiosity." businessThink promises to significantly increase results by delivering hard core business thinking and fusing it with high intuition and emotional intelligence that open up, rather than shut down, thinking and collaboration. Effectively blended, these skills become the new business intelligence that is needed to get it right-no matter what.

3 GREAT TITLES FOR THE PRICE OF 2 SELL, SELL, SELL! ....A MUST FOR ANYONE IN SALES. Too often, the sales process is all about fear. Customers are afraid that they will be talked into making a mistake; salespeople dread being unable to close the deal and make their quotas. No one is happy. Now there's a better way to transform the buyer/seller relationship. LET'S GET REAL OR LET'S NOT PLAY shows you how to transform a sales culture with clarity, authenticity, and emotional intelligence.

The sales methods of the past are simply no longer effective in a world where customers aren't sure whom to trust. In SELL YOURSELF FIRST, you are taught how to leverage your own personal assets to win the confidence of customers by displaying a host of intangible attributes such as credibility, competence, confidence, integrity, creativity, attitude, and thought leadership. Since today's potential customers are under extreme pressure to do more with less money, less time, and fewer resources, they're wary of anyone who tries to get them to buy or change anything. SNAP SELLING, is the perfect guide for any seller in today's increasingly frenzied environment as it shows how to get more appointments, speed up decisions and win sales. These 3 titles are the perfect bundle for winning more sales than you ever dreamed possible.
