Praise for Neuro-Sell
Modern-day selling is not about convincing others to buy your products and services. Its all about facilitating the buying decision so that your buyers convince themselves. This requires an in-depth knowledge of how others think, what their preferences are and understanding their world. Within this book Simon Hazeldine covers real-world, practical advice and techniques to tap into the buyers brain so that you can influence them on a much deeper level then your competitors.
Sean McPheat, author of eselling
Simon Hazeldine has, once again, given us a brilliant work on how to be more effective in todays hotly-competitive world. He builds on the solid, scientifically-grounded principles of neuroscience (which he has studied extensively) and shows the practical application of these principles in real-world selling and interaction. I was enthralled with this book and read it cover to cover. All I can say is Wow!. Simon takes you through the step-by-step process for selling, and yes, it is a process. He fully, and in rich detail, describes the four types of people youll encounter in your sales and demonstrates ninja-style effective techniques to get the results you need. I just hope my competition doesnt get hold of this masterpiece. It is a book to be studied, not just read. Get it. Devour it. Apply it. Your business and your life will be better for it.
Terry Brock, MBA, CSP, CPAE, author, professional speaker, marketing coach

I n my roles as a board chairman and director of nine different companies, I know that to succeed in the modern world of business you need to do a better job of finding, getting and looking after your customers than your competitors do.
Although this may seem obvious, it is much easier to say than to do. The profession of selling needs to be transformed from one populated by far too many pushy, commission-hungry sales people to one populated by ethical, customer-centric sales professionals.
This book uses cutting-edge neuroscience research and insight to produce a highly effective, brain-friendly selling process that is powerful, ethical and customer friendly.
This groundbreaking book provides powerful cutting-edge insights that will give you an unfair advantage in selling situations. I particularly like the way that Simon takes what is clearly a very complex science and communicates it in easy-to-understand and practical terms that can be easily understood and applied.
