Book Naming Contest!

April 22, 2009 By: Tom Searcy Category: Books, Growth Strategy, Prospecting, Social Media, The Sales Hunt, e-books

Blog readers and enthusiasts,

I am going to give a Kindle 2.0 to the winner of the following contest:

I’m publishing three books (three!) between now and the end of summer. One of these books is on how to be more effective using all of the tools out there for prospecting large accounts. It is the much-expanded version of my most recent e-book, How to Get Into Bigger Companies for Bigger Sales.

My publisher and I agree that this particular title stinks. Not only is it tepid, but if you’ve read the e-book, you know that there’s a lot more to it, including an entire how-to on using specific social media platforms for prospecting and “listening.” That said, I’m looking for a more provocative and accurate title that elicits the reaction: “I want to buy this book for every single person in my company!”

So, you have one week. If your suggested title is the one I choose for the book, you win the Kindle 2.0. I have one, and it is flippin’ phenomenal.

Post your entries as comments to this post and, who knows, a week from now I might have a new title and you might have a new Kindle 2.0!

All the best, Tom

New e-book! Getting into Big Companies and Confronting The “Forever Frontier”

April 06, 2009 By: Tom Searcy Category: Being the Hunter, Growth Strategy, e-books

Connecting to the buyers of big deals is the forever frontier. I write on it, speak on it, read on it, worry about it, practice it… Figuring out how to get to the people who make the decision is evergreen in the minds of sales people and business owners.

From time to time I come across the anomaly—someone who simply doesn’t have this problem. People are beating down their door. They have more opportunities than they can process and they are working to control growth. How does this happen? Partly, they’re lucky bastards (and I’m jealous of them), but mostly I think they’re known for something specific, so people come to them.

For those of us who are not that lucky, I write about how to achieve this type of feedback extensively in my new e-book, “How to Get into Big Companies for Big Sales… and What to Do Once You Get There”.

In the meantime, the old way of creating this condition was based upon…

New Sales Resource Center for Big Sale Hunters!

March 31, 2009 By: Tom Searcy Category: Being the Hunter, Growth Strategy, Networking Tips, Podcasts, RFP Process, Rules of the Road, Social Media, The Sales Hunt, The Whale's Mind, Webinars, e-books

Hi All,

It occurred to me recently that we have a TON of free sales resources scattered throughout our site. From e-books to podcasts, and webinars to essays, we’ve definitely taken this thought leadership stuff to heart. And now we’ve gone one step further and wrapped it all up nicely into one lovely package we’ve aptly named our “Resource Center.”

So now, instead of registering for every e-book or download, you will simply register once for the Resource Center (it’s still free, of course), and you’ll never have to fill out another form again. (Registration is only required for e-books, webinars and podcasts.) Your email address will become your login, although our center should recognize you if you enter from a computer that you’ve previously used to login. I’m not one to brag (which is a trait that my marketing agency cites as a fatal weakness), but it is pretty snazzy…

In all seriousness, though, I invite you to check it out and take advantage of all of our free tools, including a brand NEW e-book that we just introduced today. (I’ll write about that separately later.) “How to Get into Big Companies for Big Sales… and What to Do Once You Get There” details a variety of new challenges that big sale hunters face and then provides extensive pointers, tips and insight that will allow them to greet those challenges head on.

I would love your feedback on the new resource center and e-book, so please feel free to email me or leave a comment if you have a chance.

Now, let’s hunt! Tom
