To Sell Is Human

In "To Sell Is Human," Daniel H. Pink radically redefines the art and science of sales, asserting that in today's dynamic world, we are all engaged in 'non-sales selling'—persuading, influencing, and moving others. Moving beyond the traditional, often maligned, image of the pushy salesperson, Pink reveals that whether we're pitching an idea to a colleague, negotiating bedtime with a child, or simply presenting ourselves online, we are all, in essence, selling. Drawing on a wealth of social science research, behavioral economics, and psychology, Pink debunks conventional wisdom about selling. He introduces a new ABCs of moving others: Attunement, Buoyancy, and Clarity, replacing the outdated 'Always Be Closing.' The book provides an invaluable toolkit for navigating this new landscape, offering practical strategies such as six new ways to pitch, three techniques for understanding another's perspective, and five frames to clarify one's message. "To Sell Is Human" is an insightful and empowering guide, demonstrating how to harness persuasion effectively and ethically in every facet of modern life.
