Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Rediscover kindness and rediscover your worthHave you ever helped someone out of instinct, because not helping never even occurred to you Remember how surprised you were at their gratitude It is easy to feel like kindness and gratitude are becoming rare in the world today, but the truth is that it is all around you -- you just need to learn how to see it. Kindness shows you how to do just that, and inspires you to take part with tips, ideas, recommendations and advice. You will learn to see yourself and your surroundings in a kinder, happier way.Kindness is not people-pleasing; people-pleasing comes from a place of anxiety, while kindness is borne out of empathy. Kindness expects no reward or recognition, and is just as beneficial to the giver as the receiver. Kindness can be a grand gesture, or something as simple as a smile. It can be quiet or loud, simple or complex. This book helps you internalise the fundamental truth that kindness does not require wealth or possessions, or material giving at all -- whatever you have to offer is enough, and it may just change someone's life. Learn how to:\* See the silver lining and take care of yourself in difficult times.\* Do and say kind things when you're not feeling very kindly.\* Sustain the warm feelings that come from helping others.\* Express kindness even when other people are rude or critical.\* Enjoy self-care and treating yourself.Opportunities to be kind present themselves every day, and here you'll learn how to notice them. Your self-esteem and confidence will grow as you discover the pure joy of helping others, and you'll feel more comfortable allowing others to help you. In a world where kindness seems to get lost in the shuffle of worry, anxiety, aggression and worse, Kindness shows you how to bring it back into the light.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - There are few one-size-fits-all solutions in sales. Context matters. Complex sales are different from one-call closes. B2B is different than B2C. Prospects, territories, products, industries, companies, and sales processes are all different. There is little black and white in the sales profession.Except for objections. There is democracy in objections. Every salesperson must endure many NOs in order to get to YES.Objections don't care or consider:\* Who you are\* What you sell\* How you sell\* If you are new to sales or a veteran\* If your sales cycle is long or short - complex or transactionalFor as long as salespeople have been asking buyers to make commitments, buyers have been throwing out objections. And, for as long as buyers have been saying no, salespeople have yearned for the secrets to getting past those NOs.Following in the footsteps of his blockbuster bestsellers Fanatical Prospecting and Sales EQ, Jeb Blount's Objections is a comprehensive and contemporary guide that engages your heart and mind.In his signature right-to-the-point style, Jeb pulls no punches and slaps you in the face with the cold, hard truth about what's really holding you back from closing sales and reaching your income goals. Then he pulls you in with examples, stories, and lessons that teach powerful human-influence frameworks for getting past NO - even with the most challenging objections.What you won't find, though, is old school techniques straight out of the last century. No bait and switch schemes, no sycophantic tie-downs, no cheesy scripts, and none of the contrived closing techniques that leave you feeling like a phony, destroy relationships, and only serve to increase your buyers' resistance.Instead, you'll learn a new psychology for turning-around objections and proven techniques that work with today's more informed, in control, and skeptical buyers. Inside the pages of Objections, you'll gain deep insight into:\* How to get past the natural human fear of NO and become rejection proof\* The science of resistance and why buyers throw out objections\* Human influence frameworks that turn you into a master persuader\* The key to avoiding embarrassing red herrings that derail sales calls\* How to leverage the 'Magical Quarter of a Second' to instantly gain control of your emotions when you get hit with difficult objections\* Proven objection turn-around frameworks that give you confidence and control in virtually every sales situation\* How to easily skip past reflex responses on cold calls and when prospecting\* How to move past brush-offs to get to the next step, increase pipeline velocity, and shorten the sales cycle\* The 5 Step Process for Turning Around Buying Commitment Objections and closing the sale\* Rapid Negotiation techniques that deliver better terms and higher pricesAs you dive into these powerful insights, and with each new chapter, you'll gain greater and greater confidence in your ability to face and effectively handle objections in any selling situation. And, with this new-found confidence, your success and income will soar.

We examine corrections, reformulations, specifications, modifications of points of views and link them with discursive strategies. (Re)-adjustments can be made in order to express oneself in a better way, to favor comprehension by adapting to the addressee, to structure one's intervention, to play on the potentialities of language (polysemy, homonymy, ambiguity), to mention the main purposes associated with the use of those devices. The study focuses on the markers associated with those strategies. Therefore, it links the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic levels.
