Book excerpt: Why is it so hard to improve organization wide sales performance? Most sales leaders focus on training the latest sales techniques but frequently these fail to last. This book is not about the latest sales techniques, rather how to change to capitalize on them. This book explains why, when trained and coached in the latest sales techniques, 90 percent of salespeople will not be able to change. It examines why the sales brain is hardwired to take shortcuts that break sales processes, and proposes the use of Deal Hacks to drive the required changes. Deal Hacks are a program of interactive workshops that challenge and support live deals through a visually engaging, team-based process. Proven to create value in the sales process, Deal Hacks focus on deal outcomes rather than skills gaps, which are the focus of training and coaching. This creates a more direct and immediate impact on sales results. The program's successes, and the uplift in results, create momentum and a pull effect where more salespeople change and organizational sales transformation is achieved. Deal Hacks can be implemented immediately, with any sales methodology or process. There's no need for training needs analyses or lengthy program design. This book shows what Deal Hacks are, why they work, and how they can be implemented using a simple five-step process in complex business-to-business sales organizations.
