Baseline Selling: How to Become a Sales Superstar by Using What You Already Know About the Game of Baseball , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 361min
Baseline Selling: How to Become a Sales Superstar by Using What You Already Know About the Game of Baseball will dramatically change the way we approach the sales process, replacing the gratuitous complexity advocated by today's sales "experts" with an elegant and very effective simplicity. Studies have shown that the selling techniques of the last two decades have had very little impact on most of the sales population. Why? Because of the complexity, learning curve and difficulty in applying the concepts in these systems. In response to the urgent need for a flexible, innovative process that will enable people to grasp the essential skills necessary to close a sale in any situation, Baseline Selling reemphasizes the fundamentals of selling in a fresh, memorable way that modern sales professionals can relate to and utilize, and above all, one that complements and enriches advanced sales methodologies. Salespeople who listen to this book and put its wisdom to work will succeed in acquiring more opportunities as they learn to get appointments more easily. They will excel at creating opportunities with prospects who are "not interested". They'll sell at higher margins by using the "Rule of Ratios". Their closing percentages will improve dramatically as they implement the simple "Inoffensive Close". Salespeople selling commodities, struggling to differentiate themselves, will love "Commodity Busters" and every salesperson will be able to shorten their sell cycle by "Taking a Lead". Quite simply, Baseline Selling introduces a way for salespeople to visualize and touch all the "sales bases" without over-complicating the process. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Suicide Six , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 443min
We'll live to fight another day! The Lone Star Series continues as international best-selling author, Bobby Akart (The Blackout series, The Pandemic series, The Boston Brahmin series, and the Prepping for Tomorrow series) intertwines historical fact with plausible fiction in Suicide Six, the thrilling conclusion to The Lone Star Series, a post-apocalyptic EMP survival thriller. With those words, a hero rose to the challenge and a family found the strength within themselves to face the unthinkable. The forces of evil have descended upon Armstrong Ranch. The family had worked this ranch since the 1800s and now invaders from a faraway land had plans to take it away. Will the Armstrongs persevere in the face of a well-trained, deadly enemy which intends to steal their home and end their lives? The Lone Star Series is a thought-provoking, gut-wrenching look into a post-apocalyptic world devastated by nuclear destruction. Will you be ready to make the tough decisions to protect your family and survive?Note: The Lone Star Series does not contain strong language. It is intended to entertain and inform audiences of all ages, including teen and young adults. Although some scenes depict the realistic threat our nation faces from a nuclear war and the societal collapse which will result in the aftermath, it does not contain graphic scenes typical of other books in the post-apocalyptic genre. I believe more of our young people need to lead a preparedness lifestyle. Studies show that our millennials do not have any of the basic survival skills. By writing this series free of vulgarities and gratuitous sexual innuendo, I've intended it to be suitable for everyone. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Runnette.

The Adventures of Strongarm & Lightfoot: Blade of Glory , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 511min
Adventurers wanted!Good pay for simple recovery job, payment to be rendered upon successful completion of contract. Interested parties please report to the Woeste City Council. Be ready to provide credentials upon request. No Hruks need apply.Desperate for a little excitement and a big payday, Derek Strongarm and Felix Lightfoot and their companions respond to a call to adventure from the city-state of Woeste, recently victimized by a band of raiders who stole an ancient iron mask of historical significance but no intrinsic value - or so the city council claims.The council’s story doesn’t quite add up but it’s willing to pay good money for the mask’s return - and all the companions have to do is hike through a cursed forest, search a lost necropolis crawling with unspeakable horrors, and recover the mask from a gang of armed bandits.Easy.The greater challenge may lie in first convincing the council not to award the lucrative contract to a rival party, the legendary adventurers known as the Noble Blades - which is easier said than done when a sin from Felix’s past rears its head in an unexpected way.But if Derek, Felix, and their friends wanted easy lives, they’d go herd sheep or something.The Adventures of Strongarm & Lightfoot: Blades of Glory is the third book in the irreverent fantasy series by author Michael Bailey (Action Figures), a tale of bold heroes, dastardly villains, terrifying beasts, magical artifacts, dark pasts, mysterious circumstances, deceptive motives, atmospheric locales, and gratuitous violence.Blades of Glory includes a bonus short story: Companionship, compassion, restraint, and other things Erika Racewind dislikes - "A Strongarm & Lightfoot Side Quest". ungekürzt.

Author Bobby Akart masterfully intertwines historical fact with plausible fiction in this postapocalyptic EMP survival fiction series that continues to follow the saga of the Armstrong family, Texas ranchers who have prepared for the worst but now must deal with those who have not. Major and Lucy Armstrong's four children are spread around the globe and are in a race against time to return to Texas before societal collapse takes America to the depths of human depravity. They use their ingenuity, grit, and faith to persevere but find themselves facing a most unexpected enemy. The Lone Star Series is a thought-provoking, gut-wrenching look into a postapocalyptic country devastated by nuclear destruction. Would you be willing to cross the lines in the sand to survive? Note: The Lone Star Series does not contain strong language. It is intended to entertain and inform audiences of all ages, including teens and young adults.

Form your harem. Kill or be killed. Level up and loot. Welcome to Planet Kill. Pierce has his mission: survive by killing and getting nasty, doing whatever it takes to find his lost wife and others who were abducted and forced to participate in the barbarity that is Planet Kill.

He's able to learn under her, to start to form his own harem. Only, being her ally means fighting her wars. It's kill or be killed, level up fast, and put on the show the viewers want - all while proving to Letha and her generals that he has what it takes to be one of them. The alternative is death, leaving his wife to her fate of being hunted by monsters. Warning: This audiobook contains gratuitous violence and sex, harems, reverse harems, massively oversized members, breasts galore, and ample blood. You might cringe, you will laugh, and hell, you might even cry. We refuse to apologize for any of it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Carly Crawford, Jeff Hays, Yvonne Syn.

The Power of Ethics: The Thoughtful Leader's Model for Sustainable Competitive Advantage , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 263min
Ethics - described briefly as the norms by which acceptable and unacceptable behaviors are measured - has been the concern, and perhaps the great dilemma, of sentient humans since Socrates subjected it to philosophical inquiry almost 2,500 years ago. Socrates believed, without universal acceptance, that the most pertinent issues people must deal with are related to how we live our lives, what actions are and are not righteous, and how people should live together peacefully and harmoniously. A vast parade of philosophers, religious leaders, politicians, professors, and self-help gurus have followed Socrates' lead through the ensuing centuries; it's a popular and enduring subject, perhaps because it is so complex, intriguing, and pervasive in every facet of our lives. Today, ethics dominates our news in the form of anti-ethics. The headlines in newspapers and the lead stories on TV, radio, and Internet news are typically about such abhorrent behavior as lying, stealing, revenge, convictions for corruption, gratuitous murder, and misuse of public or other people's funds for personal gain. Readers, viewers, and listeners can hardly be faulted for thinking that we live in a corrupt society, exactly what Socrates and others did not want or envision. Perhaps the anti-ethical stance of the media is the most anti-ethical part of our society. Nevertheless, the battle for a more ethical society rages unchecked and unabated; one needs only to examine the dozens of books with 'ethics' in their titles on sale at Amazon or Barnes & Noble, including this one and those that are listed in Appendix G. I daresay that the authors, including the two who created this book, hope that their words and thoughts will help move us toward a more civil society. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: K.

Down on Her Luck: Alaina's Story: What's Luck Got to Do with It, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 264min
Thirty-nine-year-old struggling actress Alaina Ackerman isn't just down on her luck today; lady luck has packed up and left town for heaven only knows where. Instead of ending up homeless on the streets of New York City in November, Alaina accepts her mother's holiday invitation and heads home to Pittsburgh for a much-needed break. Maybe even to give up on acting altogether. The last thing Alaina expects is to be happy returning home, especially when fate not only tosses an abandoned puppy into her lap, but also practically embeds Markus Klein into her life. That wouldn't be so bad if she hadn't spent the last 20 years trying to forget the night they crossed the "just friends" line. Now, torn between a love she thought she lost, and one she never knew existed, that vicious harpy some call fate dangles Alaina's dream opportunity - a leading role - in front of her. Her only problem...going after her dream could jeopardize her chance at love. As if a new puppy, love, and career aren't complicated enough, Alaina discovers that her mother and sister are keeping a secret from her. The revelation might be just enough to get Alaina's life heading in the right direction...or send her over the edge. WARNING: Although there are many adult situations in this contemporary women's fiction with a hint of humor and romance, if say...something crazy happened and a famous producer adapted this novel into a movie, it would have a PG-13 rating. There are no erotic scenes, no graphic violence, and while there are a few allowed-on-TV curse words, there aren't a plethora of gratuitous foul words. Oh, and if you were looking for a cliffhanger, you won't find that here either. While Down on Her Luck is a follow-up story to Some Lucky Woman, it is a stand-alone novel. Please proceed at your own risk. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marnye Young. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/082979/bk_acx0_082979_sample.mp3.

Dave Barry's Money Secrets: Like: Why Is There a Giant Eyeball on the Dollar? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 330min
Did you ever wish that you really understood money? Well, Dave Barry wishes that he did, too. But that hasn't stopped him from writing a book about how to understand money. In it, Dave explores (as only he can) such topics as: How the U.S. economy works, including the often-overlooked role of Adam Sandler. Why it is not a good idea to use squirrels for money. Strategies that will give you the confidence you need to try for a good job, even though you are, let's be honest, a no-talent loser. Why corporate executives, simply by walking into their offices, immediately become much stupider. An absolutely foolproof system for making money in the stock market, requiring only a little effort (and access to time travel). Surefire tips for buying and selling real estate, the key one being: Never buy, or for that matter sell, real estate. How to minimize your federal taxes, safely and legally, by cheating. Why good colleges cost so much, and how to make sure your child does not get into one. How to reduce the cost of your medical care by basically not getting any. Estate planning, especially the often-overlooked financial benefits of early death.But that's only the beginning! Dave has also included in this book all of the important points in a book written by Donald Trump, so you don't have to read it yourself. Plus he explains how to tip; how to negotiate for everything, including bridge tolls; how to argue with your spouse about money; and how much allowance to give your children (three dollars is plenty). He also presents, for the first time in print anywhere, the Car Dealership Code of Ethics ("Ethic Seven: The customer is an idiot"). Also there are many gratuitous references to Angelina Jolie naked. You can't afford NOT to buy this book! Probably you need several. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dick Hill. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/brll/001065/bk_brll_001065_sample.mp3.
