The strategies in Sell Different! deliver precisely the tools and skills that drive results.  If you want to be amongst the elite in your profession, read this book!”

It doesn’t matter how competitive your industry is; in the end, success or failure depends on how you sell, not what you sell. Lee Salz lays out the strategies that work in every sale. It’s all about selling differently than the average salesperson. Don’t worry, though -- this process doesn’t create more work. It simply reduces the time, rejection and stress that consumes the average salesperson.” 

Kevin HIll

host of the sales podcast Put That Coffee Down and Executive Publisher, FreightWaves

“One of the biggest ‘a-ha moments’ for me in Sell Different! is the Prospecting Rhythm which adds a strategic component to the quantitative side of prospecting. This is the recipe to reach and engage prospects. Read the book and implement this strategy.”

Chad Parker

Sales Manager - CLM Equipment Co., Inc.

“Our industry has fallen into the trap of declining revenue per sale, as ‘price selling’ becomes a larger and larger theme. As we are breaking into new geographies and hunting new client relationships, each requires several of the proven strategies presented in Sell Different!. Especially meaningful to my team are: the actionable 16-phase plan to reach and engage elusive prospects, virtual selling, neutralizing the fear of change that paralyzes buyers, and dissecting & resolving the most challenging sales objection – price!”

Trent Anderson

Vice President Sales, LS Networks

While it is a well-accepted maxim that people buy from salespeople that they like, few stop to think about the key question that the author poses: “What can I do at each stage of the buying process to differentiate myself from the competition, make my prospect feel special, and build a stronger relationship?”  Salz’s advice systematically addresses how to remedy the root causes of lost deals and failure to defend price: failure to thoroughly qualify, inadequate discovery, and incomplete identification of decision makers/influencers and their buying criteria.  Sell Differently provides practical, step by step, guidance on how to set yourself apart from the competition throughout the sales interaction, and in so doing, “close more deals at the prices you want”.

Implement the strategies and enjoy the results.”

“There are two common maladies in most sales organizations. Not being able to create meaningful differentiation and excessive discounting to win a deal. In Sell Different!, Lee Salz provides a roadmap on “how” to win deals profitably while simultaneously differentiating the seller and the buying experience. The book is filled with stories and anecdotes to bring the content and his message alive. If you are like me, you will find this book a quick read and hard to put down. This is a book you will hi-light and read several times. It is practical, tactical, applicable, and enjoyable. Sellers will find they can immediately apply the principles taught into their daily sales calls. If you want to render your competitors irrelevant and create competitive immunity this book is for you.”

Thomas J. Williams

co-author of The Seller’s Challenge and Buyer Centered Selling

"In this well-researched book of stories and instant insights, Lee has answered the ultimate question, 'how do I transfer my passion and belief in the value of my offer to my prospect?' In a world of deafening social noise and competition from every possible angle, the ideas in Sell Different! are sure to provide the strategies, tactics, and wisdom required to land your highest-value clients."

Dr. Pelè

Author of Social Velocity

“Lee has done it again!!  He continues to have his finger on the pulse of the ever changing sales world and, with Sell Different!, he delivers another winner as he lays out how to differentiate yourself and stand out from the pack – regardless if your new to sales or a sales veteran!”

Larry Reeves

“Everyone wants to know how to differentiate themselves in sales.  The key is simple: Sell Different!  In reading this ground-breaking book, you will learn what it truly takes to differentiate yourself in the game of sales.”

Ron Karr

"To get the most from Sell Different! you must first commit to be different . Take Lee's advice and examples and put them into in each and every part of your sales work."

Anthony Parinello

Best-Selling Author; Selling to VITO, the Very Important Top Officer

“The 80:20 rule is often quoted for what it takes to perform in any endeavor. In Sell Different!, Lee’s figured out that it is really 95:5 and the 5% is what really matters in sales. Lee talks about differentiation in a way I really like. Separation rather than differentiation is what Lee has written and it makes all the difference. Great job, Lee! The 95% can use your ideas to move into the 5%.”

Tom Searcy

best-selling author of “The Death of Selling,” and “The Whale Hunters.” In Forbes as “one of the top experts in large account selling.” Founder of Hunt Big Sales.

“What Lee Salz has done in Sell Different! is provide you with a step-by-step process on how to differentiate from the competition, guide your buyer towards value versus price, overcome common objections, and bottom line, win more business.”

Sam Richter

Hall of Fame Sales and Business Speaker and Bestselling Author

"Lee tells great stories about his son Steven's baseball adventures and how the schools that caught his attention were the schools led by true leaders, not just coaches.  In particular, the story of Keith Bateman, head coach of Augsburg University, stood out because of his AUTHENTICITY.  The coach did not do what most coaches do, but personally made calls to Steven, took him around the campus, introduced him to other students and athletes and made Steven feel at home, is a great lesson for all of us salespeople.  As I always say, authenticity is the strongest card in the deck.”

Antarctic Mike

storyteller

“For me “transfer of passion” was what the entire new book Sell Different! by Lee Salz boils down to; transferring your passion for how you help, what you do differently, and why working together is key to THEIR success. How to make the transfer of passion happen with your prospects and customers is why you need to read the book.”

Lynn Hidy

UpYourTeleSales founder

“I love how Lee shares his sell different ideas through real world experiences. I felt like I was in the room and could see the Wow! Sell Different! is valuable for any sales professional or small business owner who wants their brand to shine through all the noise.”

Diane Helbig

Author, Succeed Without Selling

“Salespeople understand they must know what makes their product different to stand out with prospects and win their business. What they often miss is that THEY are the differentiating factor and HOW they sell makes all the difference. Sell Different! is packed with actionable ways for you to stand out and earn your prospects’ attention and their business – against even the stiffest competition. As I read this book, I found myself stopping in the middle of a page and putting Lee’s ideas into action – I just couldn’t wait! Excellent for beginners and seasoned veterans alike.”

Dianna Geairn

Founder – The Irreverent Sales Girl

“How can you not want to Outsmart, Outmaneuver, and Outsell the Competition? Finally, a practical guide to doing all that (and more) guaranteed to ensure you exceed targets with ease. Read this book. It’s your ticket to sales success.”

Colleen Francis

President and founder of engage Selling Solutions, Author of Honest Sells, and Nonstop Sales boom.

“Sell Different! is the kind of book that serious sales professionals enjoy. While many sales books wax inspirational or approach issues from a thirty-thousand foot viewpoint or present complex, often unworkable, frameworks, Lee’s new book is none of those things. This book is practical and immediately useable by salespeople at every level of experience. Following in the tracks of Sales Differentiation, Lee provides real-world tactics that work - and he has the clients success stories to prove it. Well-written and easy-to-read, Sell Different! will help you develop or dramatically improves a number of critical selling skills, and ultimately lead you to higher levels of sales. Spoiler Alert: Chapter 9, “The Ultimate Deal Killer,” is worth the price of the book all by itself!!”

Kelly Riggs

Fund of Business LockerRoom, Inc.®, and author of Quit Whining and Start SELLING! A Step-by-Step to a Hall of Fame Career in Sales.

“Sell Different! reveals insights on key sales topics that are applicable to everyone; from the first-time entrant to the sales profession to the seasoned sales leader looking to expand their sales base and win more deals. The foundational nature of this book will serve as the basis on which my sales program curriculum will be built to help our students mastering sales differentiation strategy.”

Todd Williams

“Sell Different! Lee Salz authored the book that is the sales differentiator for success.  Gaining confidence in the sales profession is no easy task, and it’s more challenging to stand out from the crowded playing field.  Salz gives you step-by-step guidance for becoming the sought-after provider who is trusted and admired. Should you desire to outsell the competition, I highly recommend you get the book and master its teachings!”

Elinor Stutz

“To your customers, the products and services you sell are not different or better than your competitors. But the way you sell can make all the difference between competing on price and winning more deals at the prices you want. In Sell Different!, Lee Salz shows you how to make the difference.”

Douglas Burdett

host of The Marketing Book Podcast

“Buy anything Lee Salz writes. I absolutely love Sell Different! My takeaways are all related to Lee’s pro-level questions, like; “If you were me…? (referrals)”; vertical questions (closing); don’t fail the flinch test (pricing) and more. Do these seem cryptic? Yes, buy the book and discover sales brilliance. Put his strategies into practice. This is worth every minute you invest in it.”

Dan Seidman

Dan Seidman of Got Influence? and Author of the Ultimate Guide to Sales Training

“In a hyper-competitive landscape where sales people struggle to differentiate, Lee demonstrates how smart reps win by creating intentional experiences for their prospects and clients. As an advocate for the power of customer experience to drive revenue, I believe the ideas in Sell Differently change the game in a way that buyers will love. Grab a highlighter and a notepad as you absorb each chapter. Put these ideas to work to win more deals at a higher profit!”

Darrell Amy

Author of Revenue Growth Engine: How To Align Sales & Marketing to Accelerate Growth

“Be authentic and show up different than the other salespeople contacting your buyers. Make the entire buying process easy for your buyer. In Sell Different, Lee lays out a complete “how to” for doing so. As a long-term proponent of “genuine sales”, it was refreshing to read the stories and examples Lee shares to support an ethical way to help your buyers decide your solution is the right one for them.”

Nancy Bleeke

Shane Gibson

“I have always taught sales pros to develop ways to go the extra mile, to be different from everyone else. It’s critical to be not only memorable, but memorable because of the level of service you provide your clients. In this book, Lee Salz has compiled excellent strategies for doing just that. Learn how to Sell Different! and win!”

Tom Hopkins

“The world has changed and you need new sales strategies. In Sell Different!, Lee’s shared his best practices, strategies and tactics that will help you win more, do more! If you need to create more opportunities, win more deals - you should read this book. Highly recommend it.”

Lahat Tzvi

CEO of Tfisot - Sales Consulting Group

“For the past 28 years I have worked with over 24,000 sales professionals. When I ask them, “why should a prospect buy from you?” they give me the same old generic answers. They say, “our price, our quality, our service”. It’s the same answer their competitors give and there is zero differentiation! Lee does a brilliant job of spelling out exactly how to differentiate yourself from your competitors. If you want to win more deals, read every page and put his ideas into action!”

Andy Miller

CEO www.BigSwiftKick.com, Selling Power Top 10 Sales Consultant, Vistage Top 100 Speakers

“Most new customer acquisition processes are designed to achieve one specific outcome; winning deals. Sell Different! delivers a practical roadmap so that you can align your sales strategy with the way your customers make purchasing decisions today. Sell Different! flips the script on traditional sales models that not longer work, so that you can create your competitive edge, increase customer loyalty, maximize the lifetime value of every client, and transform into a sales champion.”

Keith Rosen

CEO, Profit Builders, Author, SALES LEADERSHIP and Coaching Salespeople Into Sales Champions

“Lee Salz has done it again.  I didn’t think Lee could out do his last book Sales Differentiation but he has with his new book Sell Different!  I especially love Lee’s actionable 16-phase plan for elusive prospects.  Every sales organization should recommend both of his books as standard operating reading.”
