Title: Let's Get Real or Let's Not Play: The Demise of Dysfunctional Selling and the Advent of Helping Clients Succeed
Author: Mahan Khalsa
Format: 6 CDs/7 Hours
Price: $29.98 (US)
ISBN: 1596592060
Available: Nov 2008

The new way to transform a sales culture with clarity, authenticity, and emotional intelligence.

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.

Mahan Khalsa and Randy Illig offer a better way. Salespeople, they argue, do best when they focus 100 percent on helping clients succeed. When customers are successful, both buyer and seller win. When they aren’t, both lose. It’s no longer sufficient to get clients to buy—a salesperson must also help the client reduce costs, increase revenues, and improve productivity, quality, and customer satisfaction.

This audiobook shares the unique FranklinCovey Sales Performance Group methodology that will help listeners:

  • Start new business from scratch in a way both salespeople and clients can feel good about
  • Ask hard questions in a soft way
  • Close the deal by opening minds

Author: Keith Cameron Smith

ISBN: 1-59659-204-4
Available: October 2008

In this life-changing audiobook, entrepreneur and inspirational speaker Keith Cameron Smith tells the listener how to think like a boss rather than an employee. The key to moving beyond the employee role and up the economic ladder is mastering ten vital principles, including:

  • Bosses know a little about a lot. Employees know a lot about a little.

  • Bosses build wealth. Employees make money.
  • Bosses fly with eagles. Employees peck around with chickens.

Title: Groundswell: Winning in a World Transformed by Social Technologies
Author: Charlene Li & Josh Bernoff
Format: 6 CDs/6 Hours
Price: $29.98 (US)
ISBN: 1-59659-212-5
Available: October 2008

A groundswell is sweeping through your customers. Right now, they are writing about your products on blogs and recutting your commercials on YouTube. They're defining you on Wikipedia and ganging up on you in social networking sites like Facebook. These are all elements of a social phenomenon-the groundswell-that has created a permanent shift in the way the world works. Most companies see it as a threat.

It's time to see it an opportunity.

In Groundswell, two of Forrester Research's top analysts tell listeners how to turn the force of customers connecting to their own advantage. With twenty-five vivid cases from around the world-from health care to retail to consumer goods to business services-Li and Bernoff show how leading companies are gaining insights, generating revenue, saving money, and energizing their own customers. Whether the listener is in marketing, research, support, sales, development, or even running the whole enterprise, there's targeted advice here for them, backed up with real-world ROI to prove it works.

Groundswell is based on hard consumer data and experience with dozens of companies. The listener will hear how the marketers of Procter & Gamble proved that subtle marketing within a community was four times as effective as television . . . how Best Buy taps into the intelligence of over a thousand of its employees with its own social network . . . how Dell has transformed itself by embracing customer insights in nearly every department . . . and how a South African winery boosted its sales tenfold by tapping into the power of bloggers, YouTube, Facebook, and every other tool in the social technology arsenal.

This trend cannot be ignored. Listeners must learn how to ride the wave. There's no going back.

"This audio book will rock your world, if social technology hasn't rocked it already. It's a tsunami of unstoppable force. Amazon, Procter & Gamble, Facebook, Google, and Dell are profiting from the crest of the wave. Are you? Li and Bernoff are the apostles of the tsunami. This audio book will be your bible."

Title: You Can Read Anyone
Author: David J. Lieberman
Format: 3 CDs/3 Hours
Price: $19.98 (US)
ISBN: 159659-153-6
Available: October 2008

Have you ever wished you could peer into someone's mind to find out what he or she is really thinking? Now you can . . . really. This book is not a collection of recycled ideas about body language. It does not suggest that a woman's hairstyle will give us unprecedented access into her soul, neither does it draw wildly ambiguous generalities about people based on our intuition or gut instinct, nor does it reach conclusions based on how she folds her hands or he ties his shoelaces. This book contains specific, proven psychological techniques that can be applied instantly to any person in just about any situation. Dr. Lieberman has demonstrated the ease and accuracy of these techniques on hundreds of television and radio programs. In a special report for FOX News, host Jeff Rosin declared, it's simply amazing! I was with him and he was never wrong . . . not even once. I even learned how to do it and that's saying something. In fact, Dr. Lieberman has gone head-to-head on live television, with skilled polygraph examiners and scored just as well every time. You Can Read Anyone show step-by-step exactly how to tell what someone is thinking and feeling in real-life situations. For example, you will see precisely how to determine whether another poker player will stay in or fold, whether a salesperson is trustworthy, or whether or not a first date is going your way or the other way. And when the stakes are high negotiations, interrogations, questions of abuse, theft, or fraud-- knowing who is out for you, and who is out to get you (or a loved one) can save you time, money, energy, and heartache.

"You Can Read Anyone" is not a fluffy collection of ineffective tips. Lieberman offers proven psychological techniques that deliver on their promise to get inside a person's head . . . with eerie accuracy. Of all his books, his latest, "You Can Read Anyone" is superior in every way . . . Dr. Lieberman's insights into human nature are breathtaking and practical.

Title: Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets
Author: Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Format: 9 CDs/10 Hours
Price: $39.98 (US)
ISBN: 159659-201-X
Available: Sept 2008

Selected by Amazon.com and The Financial times as one of the best business books of the year!

This audio book is about luck - or more precisely how we perceive and deal with luck in life and business. It is already a landmark work and its title has entered our vocabulary. In its second edition, Fooled by Randomness is now a cornerstone for anyone interested in random outcomes.

Set against the backdrop of the most conspicuous forum in which luck is mistaken for skill - the world of trading - this audio book is a captivating insight into one of the least understood factors of all our lives. In an entertaining narrative style, the author succeeds in tackling three major intellectual issues: the problem of induction, the survivorship biases, and our genetic unfitness to the modern word. Taleb uses stories and anecdotes to illustrate our overestimation of causality and the heuristics that make us view the world as far more explainable than it actually is.

The audio book is populated with an array of characters, some of whom have grasped, in their own way, the significance of chance: Yogi Berra, the baseball legend; Karl Popper, the philosopher of knowledge; Solon, the Ancient World's wisest man; the modern financier George Soros; and the Greek voyager Ulysses. We also meet the fictional Nero, who seems to understand the role of randomness in his professional life, but who also falls victim to his own superstitious foolishness.

But the most recognizable character remains unnamed-the lucky fool in the right place at the right time. The embodiment of the "Survival of the Least Fit". Such individuals attract devoted followers who believe in their guru's insights and methods. But no one can replicate what is obtained through chance.

   Are we capable of distinguishing the fortunate charlatan from the genuine visionary?    Must we always try to uncover non-existent messages in random events?

It may be impossible to guard against the vagaries of the Goddess Fortuna, but after listening to Fooled by Randomness we can be a little better prepared.

"Taleb is Wall Street's principal dissident. . . . Fooled By Randomness is to conventional Wall Street wisdom approximately what Martin Luther's ninety-nine theses were to the Catholic Church."
   - Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point from his profile of Taleb in The New Yorker

"Fascinating . . . Taleb will grab you."
   - Peter L. Bernstein, author of Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk

"If asked to name the five best books written about markets, Fooled by Randomness would be on my list-and I am only certain about one of the other five."
   - Jack Schwager. Author of Market Wizards
 
 
Title: The Go-Giver
Author: Bob Burg & John David Mann
Format: 2 CDs/2 Hours
Price: $19.98 (US)
ISBN: 159659-200-1
Available: Sept 2008

"Most people just laugh when they hear that the secret to success is giving...Then again, most people are nowhere near as successful as they wish they were."

The Go-Giver tells the story of an ambitious young man named Joe who yearns for success. Joe is a true go-getter, though sometimes he feels as if the harder and faster he works, the further away his goals seem to be. And so one day, desperate to land a key sale at the end of a bad quarter, he seeks advice from the enigmatic Pindar, a legendary consultant referred to by his many devotees simply as the Chairman.

Over the next week, Pindar introduces Joe to a series of "go-givers": a restaurateur, a CEO, a financial adviser, a real estate broker, and the "Connector", who brought them all together. Pindar's friends share with Joe the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success and teach him how to open himself up to the power of giving.

Joe learns that changing his focus from getting to giving-putting others' interests first and continually adding value to their lives-ultimately leads to unexpected returns.

Imparted with wit and grace, The Go-Giver is a heartwarming and inspiring tale that brings new relevance to the old proverb "Give and you shall receive."

"Not since Who Moved My Cheese? have I enjoyed a parable as much as this. You owe it to yourself to listen to The Go-Giver and share its message with those who matter most to you. It is a beautiful audio book that will touch your soul and inspire your heart."
   - David Bach, #1 New York Times bestselling author, The Automatic Millionaire
