Giving my sales career a facelift

What's up War Room


I'm working on giving my sales career facelift.


Currently looking around for new opportunities and I want to sharpen my sales skills and make myself more marketable. What are some of the best resources out there (both paid and free) on LinkedIn, Youtube, etc?


Books, videos, podcasts, mentors, coaches, and anything else you've used to help advance your sales careers - hit me with it...

Good stuff.
I try to read Never Split the Difference once a year. I'm actually in the middle of it now - It's one of my all-time favorites.
Also recently connected with Nick and Armand on LI - their content is solid... definitely looking forward to checking out the podcast.

I repost a lot of their stuff here, especially on the prospecting side of things. They do a great job of making it relevant and not reposting the same advice

There are new methodologies are all over the place. You could make yourself nauseous trying to keep up. But as @LambyCorn just said beware of "little big voice" like Belfort and anyone else who preaches on LinkedIn. They'll take your money and leave you with a couple of slug lines.
Sales is not about what to say when they say X... not any more. And it sure dafuq isn't about 10X. It's about rationale behind your process. That said, for me, its one book. SPIN selling - If you haven't read it, you should. It's a solid framework that drives your actions. Not a long book. Not hard to remember. Not hard to incorporate into your groove. Not new, but it is still highly relevant.
Challenger sale, I think, is complimentary to that process. That one's all about getting high level DMs to think. They work well together. If you can parrot off a bit from each book, you'll be well armed.
My thoughts anyway

Here is the thing; Jordan Belfort, helped me a ton. But you can't forget he is at the end the day, an influecner/guru/scammer. So whatever you run into, remember always that they are trying to sell you their product lmao
They can throw a gram of gold in every pound of crap, so consume material but remember its all a pitch to get suckers to pay them.
I think Bravado has EVERYTHING one can need to get real kick ass at doing their job at sales.
Linkedin bros are just like crypto bros, and influencer. But same thing. 1 gram of gold per every pound of crap so.. consume 500 pounds of shit and filter out the half pound of gold !
Hope this kinda helps

As a VP I don’t think your book knowledge means shit. Can you translate that into a real world sales process, and is that knowledge increasing your close rate and ACV?
