For years now, win-win has been the paradigm for business negotiation. But today, win-win is just the seductive mantra used by the toughest negotiators to get the other side to compromise unnecessarily, early, and often. Win-win negotiations play to your emotions and take advantage of your instinct and desire to make the deal. Start with No introduces a system of decision-based negotiation that teaches you how to understand and control these emotions.

Story
Most of us think of sales as convincing potential customers to believe or do something they don't really want to. But that cutthroat mentality makes the process much harder than it has to be—especially in an economic downturn, when customers are more suspicious and defensive. It's far more productive (and satisfying) when salespeople think like Go-Givers and focus exclusively on creating value for the customer.

Sales is a skill anyone can learn and master - and introverts are especially good at it once they learn how to leverage their natural strengths. Introverts aren't comfortable with traditional tactics like aggressively pushing a product or talking over a customer's objections. That's the beauty of The Introvert's Edge: it doesn't focus on the sale itself but on a sales system that helps introverts feel sincere instead of sales-y.

Have you ever wondered why it’s so easy to talk with some people and not with others? It’s simple - you speak the same language! This doesn’t mean that you both speak English or have a similar dialect. It means that you connect with them on some level. In selling, building trusting relationships is all about understanding people who are different from you and being flexible enough in your communication skills to relate to them. This is a learned skill!

Everyone is selling, all the time - but not everyone sells well, and not everyone realizes that selling is what's happening. There are so many different departments that must come together in collaboration to ensure the successful delivery of a product - and consequently a satisfied customer - that everyone along the chain should, ideally, be selling all the time, to everyone, in every department. This book tells managers and salespeople what works when it comes to connecting all the dots and, just as important, what doesn't work.

Eye-opening
An audiobook with lots of great concepts that is an easy listen. The author backs-up her conclusions about female and male nature with relevant studies and life experience. Minus one star because at times, the author marginalizes the male experience. Overall, this is an eye-opening audiobook.

If you are interested in direct sales and boardroo
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
What I Liked About this Book:
The first three chapters or so were great, exactly what I was looking for. It gave me some insight into retail buying behaviors of women and the idea that relationships and communication can have an impact on women's' purchases. I wanted some insight so that I could come up with better ad copy. This sort of helped, but with no real result.
There were some great discussions on social norms, biology, sociology, and psychology that could potentially help a marketeer in their pursuit of a target audience. In order to use this to your advantage, you must weed through the garden to find the gems of info.
The performance of the Audio book was awkward in parts but overall a great reading by author, coach, and entrepreneur Dawn Jones. I could listen to her voice for a long time. She does a great job at making a dry subject entertaining.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
What I Didn't Like About this Book:
By Chapter 4, this book drives toward direct sales or business to business marketing. I had flashbacks of my old roommate cold calling in the other room as he tried to sell magazine ads. Not really my cup of tea, and NOT what I was looking for in the slightest.
Indie booksellers ARE retailers. We often do this from a distance and our tactics are very different than that of a direct salesperson. An author must develop an elevator pitch but a lot of what is required involves copy: cover, back cover, book description, ads, promotional, etc. We try NOT to be pushy upfront with "Buy My Book!" and all that.
What about Dawn Jones’s performance did you like?
The performance of the Audio book was awkward in parts but overall a great reading by author, coach, and entrepreneur Dawn Jones. I could listen to her voice for a long time. She does a great job at making a dry subject entertaining.
What did you take away from Why Women Buy that you can apply to your work?
How This Effects My Writing:
I believe that I could listen to the first three chapters to give me at least a boost of confidence before writing copy which targets women readers on Facebook.
As for my fiction, not much. Reading is good for the soul in any manner. Listening to someone express their ideas with clear focus and direction is beneficial even if I don't really dig the content.

Light on data
I wanted study-backed analysis of what factors are different when selling to women vs men. I got what a motivational speaker feels like are the differences between women and men. And weird digressions into overcoming your fears and organizing your office.
Reader was very good, though.

glad this was in the plus catalog
This must read like the other obviously self-published books in the author's oeuvre. Thought it was going to be a general book on how to market to women, not just how to be a salesperson to them. And as far as that goes, she does a job that amounts to assembling self-help platitudes from better-known people in this field or from who knows where. It sounds like a poorly organized podcast.
That is, it's not entirely useless or difficult to listen to, but too fluffy and full of unexpected gems in the vein of say something like Martin Lindstrom's eye-opening books.
Why She Buys looks more like what I was hoping for.
Also, there is an atrocious 3 minute long humblebrag that is truly pathetic where she mentions having a top 39 iTunes audiobook in some business niche.

Really basic and often insulting
I think I'm the wrong audience for this book. She seems to be talking to sales people who have never met a woman, read a book, created a brand. She actually explains what the right-brain/left-brain concept, what an open-ended question is. This is some serious womansplaining.
