On the heels of recent stock market tumbles and deceptions, value investing--the staple of investing greats from Benjamin Graham to Warren Buffett--has roared back into the spotlight. Value Investing Today returns with a new edition, filled with updated information and advice to give investors the skills and knowledge to become successful value investors.

Broader in scope than previous editions, this third edition offers fresh lessons investors can use to uncover stocks that are, for whatever reason, underpriced in relation to their value. Updates to this edition include:

New chapters on the psychology of investing and corporate governance
Expanded discussions on the importance of margin of safety
Increased correlations among world markets, and how to capitalize on them

The program that is revolutionizing highend selling, by showing companies how to ???clone??? their top sales performers. CEOs would pay anything to replicate their best salespeople; CustomerCentric SellingTM explains instead how to replicate their skills. It details a repeatable, scalable, and transferable sales process that formats the questions that superior salespeople ask, and then uses the results to influence and enhance the words and behaviors of their colleagues.

CustomerCentric SellingTM shows salespersons how to differentiate themselves and their offerings by appealing to customer needs, steering away from making one-way presentations and toward having meaningful and goal-oriented conversations. Currently offered in workshops and seminars around the world, its program provides step-by-step directions to help sales professionals:
* Transform sales calls into interactive conversations
* Position their offerings in relation to buyer needs
* Facilitate a more consistent customer experience
* Achieve shorter sales cycles
* Integrate sales and marketing into a cooperative, cross-functional team

CustomerCentric SellingTM details a trademarked sales process that incorporates dozens of elements, skills, and sequences into a coherent and proven methodology. By teaching a specific yet innovative model for selling big ticket, often-intangible products and services, it shows sales professionals and executives how to make the seller-buyer relationship far less adversarial, and take selling to a higher level.

The classic "features and benefits" sales approach is dead. To sell today, you must add value, provide perspective, and show customers how your product will quickly and consistently solve their specific needs.

First, of course, you must listen to your customers--to discover exactly what their specific needs are.

Stop Telling, Start Selling outlines a battle-tested, six-step program for hearing and understanding exactly what your customers have to say and selling solutions instead of just selling products. Legendary sales trainer and author Linda Richardson presents 22 powerful lessons you can use to:
??” Learn from your customers ??” Develop a questioning strategy ??” Drill down to needs ??” Listen to question meaning ??” Use objections to win business ??” Position solutions ??” Avoid closing tactics ??” Leverage your resources ??” Build your dialogues
Selling has never been more difficult than it is today. Internet-savvy customers already know what your product is; they want to know what it can do for them. Stop Telling, Start Selling will show you how to sell to today's customers, not by what you tell them but by how well you listen to what they have to say--and persuasively position the value you bring to meet their business and personal needs.
