This book is Bilingual (English and Spanish) Prologue: This is the Golden Gate of Triumph when written without hesitation with the hope that readers will find on each page a fountain of spiritual teachings that do not affect the faith of those who live in the Love of God. There are two kinds of writers: Those who write for life and those who write for the soul. At each point, there is the suspense of joy that produces a fountain of clear, unbound knowledge without the hypocrisy that often clouds the intrinsic form of spontaneity. Here we are not making a worldly analysis but a spiritual euphoria that will leave in each life the balm enough to transform the soul. These verses, like this index, are not mine; they are inspired by God in my long nights of Worship and Hope. I know there are and will be great skeptics because to believe in it, one needs to be close to God and to understand that divine power cannot be wrong by giving the world what is not the soul’s balm. “Here, end my words, and I begin my poems,” says the Lord.

Hay dos clases de escritores: los que escriben para la vida y los que escriben para el alma. En cada punto se encuentra el suspenso de la alegría que va produciendo un manantial de conocimientos claros, redondos, sin huecos de hipocresía que es la que enturbia la mayor aparte de las veces la forma intrínseca de los espontáneo. Aquí no se está haciendo un análisis mundanal sino un euforia espiritual que dejará en cada vida el bálsamo suficiente para transformar el alma. Estos versos como este índice, no son mío; son inspirado por Dios en mis largas noches de adoración y esperanzas. Sé que hay y seguirá habiendo grandes escépticos, porque para creer en ello se necesita estar bien cerca de Dios y saber que el poder divino no puede equivocarse dándole al mundo lo que no sea el bálsamo del alma. - “Aquí terminan mis palabras y doy comienzo a mis poesías”, dice el Señor.

A revelatory examination of the alchemy of successful selling and its essential role in just about every aspect of human experience. When Philip Delves Broughton went to Harvard Business School, an experience he wrote about in his New York Times bestseller Ahead of the Curve, he was baffled to find that sales was not on the curriculum. Why not, he wondered? Sales plays a part in everything we do—not just in clinching a deal but in convincing people of an argument, getting a job, attracting a mate, or getting a child to eat his broccoli. Well, he thought; he’d just have to assemble his own master class in the art of selling. And so he did, setting out on a remarkable pilgrimage to find the world’s great wizards of sales. Great selling is an art that demands creativity, mindfulness, selflessness, and resilience; but anyone who says you can become a great salesperson in 15 minutes is either a charlatan or a fool. The more Delves Broughton traveled and listened, the more he found a wealth of applicable insight. In Morocco, he found the master rug merchant who thrives in Kasbah by using age-old principles to read his customers. In Tampa, he met with Tony Sullivan, king of the infomercial, and learned the importance of creating a good narrative to selling effectively. In a sold-out seminar with sales guru Jeffrey Gitomer, he uncovered the ways successful selling approaches religion, inspiring faith and even a sense of duty in customers. From celebrity art dealer Larry Gagosian to the most successful saleswoman in Japan, Broughton tracked down anyone who would help him understand what it took to achieve greatness in sales. Though sales is the engine of commerce and industry—more Americans work in sales than in manufacturing, marketing, or finance—it remains shrouded in myth. The Art of the Sale is a powerful beam of light onto the field, a wise and winning tour of the best in show of this endeavor which is nothing less than the means by which all of us, one way or another, get our way in the world.

THE SPIRIT OF a Saint we may, perhaps, regard as the underlying characteristic which pervades all his thoughts, words, and acts. It is the note which sounds throughout the constant persevering harmony which makes the holiness of his life. Circumstances change. He grows from childhood to boyhood; from youth to manhood. His time of preparation is unnoticed by the world until the moment comes when he is called to a public activity which arrests attention. And essentially he remains the same. In private as in public, in intimate conversation as in writings or discourses, in the direction of individual consciences as in the conduct of matters of wide importance, there is a characteristic note which identifies him, and marks him off apart even from other heroes of sanctity.

What's the secret to sales success? If you're like most business leaders, you'd say it's fundamentally about relationships-and you'd be wrong. The best salespeople don't just build relationships with customers. They challenge them. The need to understand what top-performing reps are doing that their average performing colleagues are not drove Matthew Dixon, Brent Adamson, and their colleagues at Corporate Executive Board to investigate the skills, behaviors, knowledge, and attitudes that matter most for high performance. And what they discovered may be the biggest shock to conventional sales wisdom in decades. Based on an exhaustive study of thousands of sales reps across multiple industries and geographies, The Challenger Sale argues that classic relationship building is a losing approach, especially when it comes to selling complex, large-scale business-to-business solutions. The authors' study found that every sales rep in the world falls into one of five distinct profiles, and while all of these types of reps can deliver average sales performance, only one-the Challenger- delivers consistently high performance. Instead of bludgeoning customers with endless facts and features about their company and products, Challengers approach customers with unique insights about how they can save or make money. They tailor their sales message to the customer's specific needs and objectives. Rather than acquiescing to the customer's every demand or objection, they are assertive, pushing back when necessary and taking control of the sale. The things that make Challengers unique are replicable and teachable to the average sales rep. Once you understand how to identify the Challengers in your organization, you can model their approach and embed it throughout your sales force. The authors explain how almost any average-performing rep, once equipped with the right tools, can successfully reframe customers' expectations and deliver a distinctive purchase experience that drives higher levels of customer loyalty and, ultimately, greater growth.
