Summary

People don't buy from people they like. No! Your buyer doesn't care about you or your product or service. It's not your job to overcome objections, it's your buyer's. Closing isn't a skill of good salespeople; it's the skill of weak salespeople. Price isn't the main reason salespeople lose the sale. Gap Selling shreds traditional and closely held sales beliefs that have been hurting salespeople for decades. 

For years, salespeople have embraced a myriad of sales tactics and belief systems that have unknowingly created many of the issues they have been trying to avoid, such as: long sales cycles, price objections, no decision, prospects going dark, last minute feature requests, and more. Success at sales requires more than a set of tactics. Salespeople need to understand the game of sales, how sales works, and what the buyer is going through in order to make the decision to buy (change) or not to buy (not change). 

Gap Selling is a game-changing book designed to raise the sales IQ of selling organizations around the world. In his unapologetic and irreverent style, Keenan breaks down the tired old sales myths causing today's frustrating sales issues, to highlight a deceptively powerful new way to connect with buyers.

Today's sales world is littered with glorified order takers, beholden to a frustrated buyer, unable to influence the sale and create value. Gap Selling flips the script and creates salespeople with immense influence at every stage of the buying process, capable of impacting the sales metrics that matter: 

  • Shorter sales cycles
  • Increased revenue
  • Elevated deal values
  • Higher win rates
  • Fewer no decisions
  • More leads
  • And happier buyers

Gap Selling elevates the sales world's selling IQ and turns sales order takers into sales influencers.

Keenan has put structure to our sales madness

I've read and listened to every sales book I can get my hands on over the past 20 years and always take small pieces away as advisory elements to my own sales processes. It's been one of the reasons for my success in sales and sales management. Keenan has written a book where absolutely every point is a take away and much of what I always knew was there and didn't have definition or was not documented in my own processes is now crystal clear to me and my growing team. This book has had an impact on every stage in our pipeline including significant additions to our CRM structures. I am super pumped for the impact this will have on our results and the accuracy I now know I can deliver to my board and our investors going forward. Thank you Keenan. PS: the audio performance is EPIC!

Excellent book covering a simple principle

I’ve listened to lots of sales books, but this was a lovely simple concept, explained well, very little piffle or waffle, the author left all his ego at the door. Great book.

Really good sales book

Performance wise he is a bit shouty which can get annoying at times but content wise this book is really insightful and gets straight to the issues at hand. He doesn’t fall in to what a lot of sales trainers do and start talking about anecdotes where he single handily turned a sales team around with his instruction. He makes it clear what his philosophy is and walks you through how to follow it.
