Daniel Pink: To Sell is Human

My advanced copy of To Sell Is Human

Author Daniel Pink is releasing another great book, To Sell Is Human.  I’ve convinced his team that I’m worthy of an advanced copy and they’ve allowed me to support their marketing blitz.  My goal is to read the 9 chapters as fast as I can and share some key points along with some of my cheeky comments before the book drops on 31 Dec, kind of like I did with Good To Great in my previous posts.

Pink has written a number of other great books and has some really interesting ideas.  His website gives you a good overview of his other books Drive and A Whole New Mind.  I was initially drawn to his writings when I saw this animated youtube video where he talks about what really motivates people.  You’d be surprised – money is not the greatest motivator.  That got my attention.  I immediately went and bought his other books and intend to do some posts on those books in the future.

To Sell is Human – Here I Go

So, time for me to persuade you to go and buy Dan’s new book.   Place an order here and you will get a ton of extra free goodies that will not be available after the 31 Dec formal release date.  There’s no selling that I really need to do, you get way more than you pay for if you pre-order it and Dan’s books always are worth more than you pay anyway.

1. A free 20-page PDF workbook, based on To Sell is Human, giving you a two-week plan to get better at selling and a head start on those who won’t have the book until January.
2. A free New Year’s Day webinar – with an exclusive look at the ideas, people, and publications I’ll be watching in 2013 along with a chance to ask me questions. (We did this for the launch of Johnny Bunko a few years ago – and it was one of the best-received events I’ve ever done.)
3. A free customized Field Notes memo book – my favorite notebook of all time, printed in a (very) limited edition batch commemorating publication of the book.
4. A free To Sell is Human bookplate, signed and numbered, to slap inside your book.
5. A free audio download of a one-hour special edition of Office Hours (which won’t be available anywhere else) featuring exclusive interviews with Robert Cialdini, author of the classic book, Influence, and Adam Grant, the Wharton professor whose not-yet-published study is one of the biggest pieces of news in To Sell is Human.

Here’s a quick rundown on what the book is all about.
