What if almost everything you've been taught about sales is wrong?
For more than thirty years, Grant Stanley has worked with some of the UK's biggest organisations, helping businesses sell more, market smarter and improve commercial performance. Along the way, he discovered an uncomfortable truth: much of the advice confidently taught in sales courses, management seminars and marketing workshops simply doesn't stand up to real life.
Packed with entertaining stories, dry humour and hard-earned commercial insight, Everything They Told You About Sales Is Wrong exposes the myths, mistakes and misunderstandings that cost organisations millions every year. From sales trainers who can't sell, marketing campaigns that celebrate the wrong results, and KPI systems that reward failure, to procurement theatre, CRM obsession and the strange reality of how customers actually make decisions, this book challenges the accepted wisdom that businesses rarely question.
Rather than offering another miracle sales methodology or a collection of tired motivational clichés, Grant draws on three decades of experience to reveal what really drives commercial success: trust, curiosity, common sense and understanding how people actually behave.
Whether you're a business owner, sales professional, marketer, manager or consultant, you'll recognise the situations, laugh at the absurdities and probably find yourself thinking, "I've seen that happen."
Thought-provoking, evidence-driven and refreshingly honest, this isn't just another sales book. It's a collection of commercial war stories that will change the way you think about business forever.
