About this listen

J. Douglas Edwards is the man who first introduced Tom Hopkins to professional selling. He was the sales trainer of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. He trained over 200,000 salespeople a year for over 20 years. Hired by corporations around the world, Mr. Edwards began a crusade to change the image of the stereotypical salesperson that Tom Hopkins carries forward today.

In The Real Mad Men of Sales, you'll learn:

  • How to properly handle a situation where there is a time lag with no way to close the product sale on the first visit
  • The power of written instructions in sales
  • Seven advanced closing strategies
  • Strategies for enlisting the aid of others in the final close
  • The most powerful single closing method used by top pros around the world
  • How to get the approval when you hear, "I need to talk it over with..."
