It used to be that you could ignore RFPs. Only a small portion of the market used them in their buying process and you could work around those companies. Today, governance rules dictated by boards and administered by finance have made RFPs and RFQs a dominating component of the large-deal world. Not only can you no longer ignore them, but you need to know that companies use RFPs-and increasingly purchasing and procurement-for many reasons that have little to do with the opportunity offered in the official document. The result? We all have no choice but to go through the expensive and time-consuming process. And though you might like to believe the system is fair, if your company is pitching a disproportionately larger client, you're at a disadvantage from the moment you begin the process. WHY? Because the RFP system is not built for you. It's built for big companies and government institutions that benefit from RFPs. But no matter how hard you try to avoid them, there will inevitably come a day when that irresistible RFP lands on your desk. It's almost like it was written for you. This book is your best guide on what to know, to question and to do when faced with that RFP. It will also help you develop the confidence and understanding to know when to quit the process before it even starts or when to stay in it and win big.

It is estimated that almost 1 million jobs will be eliminated in the traditional role of “sales person” in the next five years in the United States. 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? In Life After the Death of Selling: How to Thrive in the New Era of Sales Tom Searcy lays out for the senior executive, front line sales leader and the sales person what their roles will be and how to leverage new techniques to not only survive this dramatic change, but to thrive and grow.
