Tom Freese’s Latest Book is a Game Changer!

Posted on December 12, 2018 Written by admin Leave a Comment

WARNING: Salespeople and sales managers will love this book, but
old school sales trainers are going to hate me for having written it.

Have you noticed that the overall business environment has changed dramatically over the years, yet the world of sales training has remained surprisingly stagnant? That’s about to change in a BIG way with the release of Tom Freese’s latest and most comprehensive addition to the QBS books series.


$14.00

(Paperback)
$19.95

SalesForce 2020 is the only book of its kind. It’s a book about the future. While hindsight may be 20/20, it has become increasingly clear that many of the older school selling tactics that have been accepted and touted for decades no longer make sense as we rapidly approach the year 2020.

This raises two important questions that sellers in every industry must consider:

1.) “Do you want to continue struggle with what “used to work” in days gone by, or would you rather focus on what’s going to give you the greatest selling advantages moving forward?”

2.) Might it be time for an overhaul, or to at least upgrade your current approach?”

There’s a reason why top performing salespeople excel, while those who are struggling continue to struggle…even though they are all following the same basic sales process. It’s because just identifying the steps of the sales process is no longer a differentiator. All of your competitors have a sales process in place too, and theirs is probably very similar (if not identical) to yours.

Today, salespeople and managers are hungry for specific sales strategies and selling techniques that will give them an ‘unfair’ advantage in their respective markets, rather than reverting back to the outdated logic that has plagued traditional sales approaches for the last 30+ years.

SalesForce 2020 is a must read for anyone engaged in today’s rapidly changing sales environment. The book flows like you’re having a one-on-one conversation with Tom. Definitely a break-through in how to execute more effectively moving forward!

                                                           —Richard Brock, CEO

Is this book an indictment of old school sales methods? In a word—Yes. It’s also a road map to show sellers how to gain a proven and differentiable advantage moving forward. Enjoy!

Selling Power Magazine’s Top Ten Summer Reading List for 2011 is out and it includes Sell Yourself First, a 250 page hardcover bestseller by Thomas A. Freese, Author of Secrets of Question Based Selling.

QBS Publishes Chinese Version

Posted on July 25, 2011 Written by admin Leave a Comment

Question Based Selling has gone international with the release of the Chinese version of my first book, Secrets of Question Based Selling. With the exception of those words on the cover, the rest of the entire book is printed in Chinese. I’m told that someone who is fluent in Chinese can easily find it on the Internet. Funny that they sent me a box of samples which prompted my wife to ask, “Does the content match the English version?”

Since the graphics seem to match the English version, I assume so…but, since I’m not fluent in Chinese, how would I know?

When asked one of my colleagues in Asia pulled up the ordering information, I was told it was temporarily sold out in china and Taiwan, but here is the ordering information which which might be helpful. Now that my book is completely sold out in china, I think it’s safe to say that QBS has officially taken off!

Secrets of Question Based Selling

Posted on February 11, 2009 Written by admin 2 Comments

I initially thought it would be easy to crank out a sales book…and it was. The tough part was writing a book that people could actually use to increase their effectiveness.

After five rewrites and nine rounds of editing, I am pleased to say that my first book, Secrets of Question Based Selling is just as relevant, applicable, and accurate now, as the day it was first released.

From my perspective, executing the ‘softer skills’ like establishing credibility, piquing the prospect’s interest, or differentiating your value proposition will be just as important and relevant fifty years from now, and they are today.

Secrets of Question Based Selling contains the core concepts of the QBS Methodology.

Hope you enjoy!

Strategic Questions

The Most Powerful Tool in Sales

Besides gathering information, strategic questions are a salesperson's best tool for:
• Piquing Customer Interest
• Establishing Credibility
• Understanding Requirements
• Creating a Sense of Urgency
• Qualifying Opportunities
• Competitive Differentiation
• Negotiation / Positioning
• Escalating to Decision Makers
• Securing Commitments / Closing Deals
• Maintaining Margins
• Getting Leads / Referrals
. . .which is very different than just probing for needs.
