Life After The Death of Selling: How to Thrive in the new Era of Sales by Tom Searcy and Carajane Moore
It is estimated that almost 1 million jobs will be eliminated in the traditional role of “salesperson” in the next 5 years in the United States.
The signs of change are all around us. Buying processes have been altered in very specific and critical ways. The natural implications are that we must change the way we sell when our buyers change the way they buy from us. The sea change for what has been traditionally called selling has already started and momentum is building.
If sales is the engine that drives revenue and subsequently business growth, how are sales leaders and their people to react to the changes driven by technology, regulation, and governance in the marketplace? We are entering a new era of sales, and adaption is imperative for reps, managers, and executives.
In Life After the Death of Selling: How to Thrive in the New Era of Sales, Tom Searcy and Carajane Moore lay out for the senior executive, front line sales leader and the salesperson what their roles will be and how to leverage new techniques to not only survive this dramatic change but to thrive and grow.

The Creator Mindset: 92 Tools to Unlock the Secrets to Innovation, Growth, and Sustainability by Nir Bashan

What gets the ball rolling when we’re feeling stuck in our careers? Why is my company not growing or reaching higher levels of profitability? What’s the difference between a workable plan and a stroke of genius?
The answer is creativity―and it’s the missing ingredient for far too many of us who feel we’re not reaching our creative potential (or doubt we have it in the first place). In The Creator Mindset, Bashan draws from years of experience in advertising, entertainment, consulting, keynote speaking, and teaching to show you how to use creativity as a decision-making tool, and do so every bit as confidently as you use spreadsheets and data analysis.
Bashan demystifies the process of sharpening this ability by breaking it down into four essential sections. Discover what is meant by a “creator mindset,” why it’s crucial in business, how to see the world with this mindset, and how to sustain it.
Written in plain language with real-world examples, chapters include:
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by vague advice to “think outside the box,” The Creator Mindset can help put you on a proven track to harnessing your best, most creative ideas, and feel confident you’re performing to your fullest potential―analytically and creatively.
