Why Another Sales Book?  

With countless sales books out there, why did Gail write another one? Because so many people enter sales roles without understanding what to expect.  

Gail shares innovative methods to help new sales reps stand out and guide buyers through the sales process to close deals. 

She also emphasizes the importance of getting back into networking and making phone calls to build human connections with buyers and other sellers.  

Cockatoo Selling: What Is It?

Cockatoos build momentum during their dancing routines, moving their body language and tone in sync to capture their mate’s attention.  

Similarly, successful sellers must build momentum with their prospects, taking time to connect and avoiding the rush to close a deal. 

Building strong relationships leads to long-term partnerships and opportunities to ask for referrals down the line.  

The Role of Questioning  

During the discovery phase, effective questioning is vital for building rapport and closing deals. 

Gail explains that asking thoughtful questions keeps potential customers engaged and fosters trust.  

By understanding a customer’s unique challenges and goals, you position yourself as a problem-solver—not just a vendor. 

“Put everything aside and just be present with the customer. That is going to get you closer and faster to a deal than if you're worried about all these other things and you're not present with that customer. Get to being present. You can find you to close more deals faster.” - Gail Kasper. Resources Gail Kasper on LinkedIn) Gail Kasper) Free Gift) Sell Like a Cockatoo) Sponsorship Offers
