Higher Power Selling Chad Ellis

When selling gets tough and the pressure of meeting your quota keeps you awake at night, where do you turn? If much of your day is about convincing others to take a specific course of action, is there a source that can actually help improve your outcomes?

With an unequivocal yes, author Chad Ellis's goal in Higher Power Selling is to share with readers the absolute best place to turn for answers to those questions! The best-selling book of all time, the Bible, is full of stories that capture the art of persuasion in action. Higher Power Selling also provides a personal glimpse into what happens when we ignore biblical wisdom and are forced to learn from another of life's great teachers--the school of hard knocks. The Bible is the source for all sales-related tasks, and it is time-tested and eternal. What we learn when we ignore the Bible emphasizes its importance even more.

What will you gain by reading this book?

Develop an intentional personal brand. Learn and implement a practical guide for persuading others to take action. View integrity through the lens of the customer. Lead customers to decisions through servant leadership. Craft powerful stories that will motivate your customers. Enjoy the satisfaction of doing things God's way.
