Latest Books for Entrepreneurs in May 2015

A Quick Look at 5 of the Latest Books for Entrepreneurs

The Entrepreneurs Library presents some of the latest books for entrepreneurs in May 2015. These books are brand new to the market and the authors are in line to give a thorough deep dive of their books. Stay tuned this month for the release of the interviews with these great books and their authors. Below is an overview of what Amazon has to say about these books:

1) Unselling by Scott Stratten & Allison Kramer

You don’t need social media, but you can be connecting with your clients socially. Your video doesn’t have to be viral in front of a million people, just contagious in front of your specific market. Content, connection, engagement. It’s time to separate from the pack of noise.

UnSelling is about everything but the sell. We put all of our focus on the individual purchase transaction, while putting the rest of our business actions second. We’ve become blind to customer service, support, branding, experiences and even product quality.

In this book Scott Stratten teaches sales companies how to see the big picture in order to:

— Create repeat customers, not one-time buyers

— Create loyal clients that refer others, not faceless numbers

— Become the go-to company for something, before they even need you

After reading UnSelling, there will be no doubt in your mind that it’s true. Up to 60 percent of all purchases are made before the sales pitch even begins, yet we still focus on the sales funnel above all else. UnSelling is about removing this “funnel vision,” reaching out to clients in a meaningful way, and becoming the go-to brand. The sales figures will follow.
