Ich habe festgestellt, daß Spitzenverkäufer in vielerlei Weise beinahe identisch sind. Manchmal biete ich eine Übung in einem Verkaufsleiter­ seminar an, um den Spitzenverkäufer in den Firmen der Teilnehmer zu beschreiben. Ich erkläre seine oder ihre Eigenschaften, Charakteristika, Verhaltensweisen und Einstellungen relativ detailliert. Der Verkaufsleiter oder Firmenbesitzer im Publikum fragt dann unweigerlich immer: "Wie können Sie meinen besten Mann (oder meine beste Frau) denn so genau beschreiben?" Die Antwort, die ich ihnen gebe, ist, daß all diese Leute aus demselben Stoff sind. Sie haben alle in etwa dasselbe Temperament. Sie haben dieselben Einstellungen und Besonderheiten. Sie lösen dieselben Gefühle und Reaktionen bei ihren Mitarbeitern und Kunden aus. Sie alle agieren in vielen Beziehungen ähnlich, und sie erzielen dieselben hervorragenden Ergebnisse. Ich bin ein ausgesprochen praktisch orientierter Mensch. Ich nutze mich selbst, meine Kunden und meine Mitarbeiter im Verkauf als Versuchs­ kaninchen, wenn ich eine neue Verkaufsidee oder ein neues Konzept testen möchte. Ich frage stets: "Trifft das für mich zu?" Ich glaube niemals irgend etwas einfach so, und ich erwarte auch nicht, daß Sie mir einfach glauben.

By definition, winning means that you competed and you came out ahead. Human nature requires us to compete in order to survive. Therefore, winning and survival have the element of success in common. To ascend to a winning position, you need a goal, a desire to achieve it, and the qualities of discipline, perseverance and action to attain it. Having your goal and setting yourself up to achieve your goal is the first step in the process. You adjust your mindset and begin to plan diligently. Goals may be as different as DNA, but methodologies have much in common. Furthermore, your plans and expectations will need adjustments as you go along. That is why the knowledge shared by the CelebrityExperts(R) in this book will be of importance to you. The advice and suggestions of these CelebrityExperts(R) are based on their experiences - both their accomplishments and their shipwrecks. The knowledge they share will allow you to make plans that can propel you in the right direction. That is the function of a mentor - to guide you where you are going and to advise what to avoid. If you wish to develop The Winning Way to your goals, read on... You will never win if you never begin. Helen Rowland

Nothing endures but change. This phrase, which we have attributed to Heraclitus, was probably around in one form or another since the beginning of time. Each one of us, without exception, changes as we age. Why do we change? Change is a basic survival mechanism. Changes may be viewed as caused by internal or external factors. Youth and inexperience love change. As we get older, we develop a resistance to change - at times to our detriment. Adopting and promoting change in our lives as well as the lives of others is a progressive and entrepreneurial trait. The Celebrity Experts(R) in this book have attained success by changing both themselves and the world around them to some degree. Descriptively known as Agents of Change, the Celebrity Experts(R) in this book seek to make new inroads into the fields of expertise they represent. Never afraid of change, however difficult, they know that they will never enjoy the sweet taste of success only doing what everyone else does. (That kind of effortless success is called winning the lottery - not good odds.) Change Agents lead the way. They prefer to be the ones blazing trails and making changes. If you wish to use their proven methods and be guided by these Change Agents, the Celebrity Experts(R) in this book will show you the way. You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. Author Unknown

Individuals pursue success as a goal. Success is a condition based on the outcome of your movement from your point of origin to your chosen finishing line. This obviously varies by individual and situation. In business, success is commonly measured in goal achievement, dollars and/or recognition.

Here are Celebrity Experts(R) who have achieved success. They discuss their accomplishments for your guidance. There is nothing like being coached to climb the mountain by someone who has made the trip already.

The first man gets the oyster, the second the shell. Andrew Carnegie Everyone loves to win, each in their own way for their own reasons. Winning means the position at the forefront of any endeavor. Winning Big is a term which expands this concept to define the impact of a 'significant' Win. Winning Big suggests a game-changing experience, a purposeful accomplishment that affects the way we are treated, as well as the outcome. How does anyone 'Win Big'? It usually starts with a determination of our goals. This may be referred to as our mindset, which indicates a measure of purpose. We move through stages of mindset to get to a position from which we can focus our actions to achieve our goals. The Celebrity Experts(R) in this volume have all done this. They propose to teach you mindset, methods and appropriate actions that can help propel you into the Winning Big circle. The hallmark of these authors is that they have 'been through the fire' themselves. They have endured the 'tempering' of their lives to get to this point of achievement. So you are not hearing from players that merely wish, speculate or plan, but from those who have acted, achieved, and Won Big We all wish to be taught by the master, not by the apprentice. In this volume, these masters give you the opportunity to benefit from their knowledge. Follow them and they will mentor you from a position of strength. These Celebrity Experts(R) coach and teach... The Secret To Winning Big. The act of taking the first step is what separates the winners from the losers. Brian Tracy
