New Book: Leadership and Sales Mindset Advisors with a Counterintuitive Approach to Sales
Colin Coggins and Garrett Brown are leadership and sales advisors who, in their Wall Street Journal bestselling book, The Unsold Mindset, introduce a counterintuitive philosophy with actionable strategies that will change the way you approach success at work and in any other endeavor.
Redefining What It Means to Sell
In the critically acclaimed book, Colin and Garrett share real-life anecdotes, tools, and resources to inspire people to show up as their authentic selves in every aspect of their professional and personal lives. As they reveal to readers, “The Greatest salespeople on the planet are not the most self-confident individuals — they are the most self-aware individuals.”
The guidance in their new book opens new perspectives on what it means to “sell,” and how we view salespeople. Salespeople are often seen as pushy and only motivated by their own interests. Yet, when asked who the greatest salesperson they know is, people often point to revered leaders, such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and Steve Jobs. As you’ll discover when reading The Unsold Mindset, everyone is a salesperson in some way — whether they are selling their ideas, a product or themselves. And the best salespeople are the ones who “fall in love” with their customers and work their hardest to bring value and help them solve a problem.
Reviews for the book have been fantastic. A few are included below:
“If you’re in sales — and everyone is in sales! — this book is an extremely useful guide. It will hone your powers of persuasion and connection. And it will help you become a better salesperson by becoming a better version of yourself.”
Daniel Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Regret and To Sell Is Human
“A fascinating paradox: The harder you sell, the less convincing you often become. Colin and Garrett bring riveting stories and rich experiences to shatter the stigma of selling and help you inject authenticity into your efforts to persuade.”
Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast “Work Life.”
