The Climb Continues...
Thanks to a variety of corporate clients, partners, friends, family,
and complete strangers who just couldn't resist buying the book...
The 10 Commitments reached a new sales ranking of
#159 yesterday on Amazon.com!

Making it one of the
5 Top-Sellers in the
Motivational & Success Category.

COOL.
More to come.
Thanks for buying commitment.
Satisfaction guaranteed.

(How about if I put it in writing?...)
How many Sales People do Proposals?

How many proposals lead to postponed decisions,
give false hopes, create more work for the salesperson
(and the prospective buyer), and all in all cause
extreme lack of results for all concerned?
Answer: Almost all of them.

What's a selling professional to do?
The same thing you did when you got married (or when you do)!
Help someone arrive at a decision.

Discussions lead to decisions.
Planned dialogue...
That's how things get done.
Discuss and decide. Think and execute.
Not discuss and delay and "go back and get this"
and "find out that" and come back and propose.
Blah, blah, blah.

Any chance you "proposed" to your future spouse IN WRITING?
Or they did to you? Any chance anyone else did?
Not likely. It's a great life lesson that
hasn't made it to many salesdesks.

Funny isn't it?
How a "death do us part" commitment can be reached by
a verbal proposal, yet when salespeople ask for
a couple of orders it's this big written proposal ordeal.

Decisions beat written proposals.

I'd ask you to read it,
but then it would be a written proposal...
To your uncommon success,

Did you realize that at any given time Amazon.com has
approximately 1,200,000 book titles on site,
which they rank based on sales on an hour by hour talley?
(even more titles that don't carry a sales ranking)

I had no idea.
I mean, I knew it was a lot of books but I guess it never really hit me what a
BIG number of titles were available until my new book
The 10 Commitments debuted at
NUMBER THREE HUNDRED FORTY SEVEN THOUSAND,
ONE HUNDRED FIFTY SIX (#347,156)!

That big number could make an author feel a bit insignificant...

But not for long. Because, thanks to many of my partners, fellow speakers, authors, friends, relatives, etc. in just 24 hours the book had climbed "the Amazon Mountain" to be ranked at
# 311!

COOL.
Thanks to all who helped us make the move.
We're off to an exciting (commitment to) beginning.

Michael
