About this ebook

From bestselling author John Asher comes a breakthrough guide on how to connect with the burnt out buyer using both new iterations of his proven neuroscience sales techniques as well as groundbreaking techniques to address the new business landscape.

Focusing on both internal and external variables, The Future of Sales explores how to make a sale, grow your company, and comfort your client in times of uncertainty and change. Using the same scientific strategies that John Asher and his team created to break down The Neuroscience of Selling, The Future of Sales arms readers with techniques that are proven to once again explore the way that buyers buy, instinctually, so you can make a sale... this time exploring sales in times of great change, companies in crisis, and buyers who are in new (virtual) environments.

    Introduction

    For the past several generations or so, there have been three types of sales:

    Sales to consumers

    Sales to business buyers

    Sales to government buyers

    We have all witnessed the fairly quick migration of purchases by consumers from brick-and-mortar to the internet for the past several decades. In 2020, worldwide retail e-commerce sales for the year grew 28 percent to $4.3 trillion.i

    Companies following this trend are more heavily investing in digital selling. According to Statista, worldwide digital advertising will grow from $40 billion in 2021 to $46 billion by 2024.ii Automation has seen similar growth to support factories and consumers. In early 2020, a Black & Decker factory making portable electrical tools opened in South Carolina. The factory is 100 percent automated. This rise in automation has impacted retail too. Consumers can order, pay for, and have a pizza delivered from Domino’s with no clicks. Not one click! If they have their favorite pizza in their Domino’s app, just opening the app is enough to order, pay for, and have the pizza delivered.

    Every recession results in rapid innovation and many new business start-ups. McKinsey & Company examined supply and demand factors across seven countries and six sectors looking at stalled productivity growth since the 1960s. This period includes all of the
