Wait, What? I'm in Sales?: Why the worst salesperson you know is you - and the blind spots even great sellers miss.

YES! You've been selling your whole life. You just may not have been doing it on purpose, and that's why you might not be where you think you should!Every job interview you've nailed, every skeptical boss you've won over, every idea you've fought for in a room that wasn't ready to hear it - that was sales. And for traditional sellers chasing quotas and commission that's also sales. They both require the discipline of moving people, ideas, and opportunities forward with confidence and intention.Most people leave that power completely to chance. This book changes that.Written by Karlyn Kieffer former television anchor, former Chief Diversity Officer at the United States Tennis Association, sales enablement expert and founder of Pro Tip Partners - Wait What? I'm in Sales?is a masterclass in persuasive communication for both traditional sellers and everyone who influences others for a living. Which is... basically... everyone.Drawing on two decades of high-stakes experience across broadcast journalism, corporate leadership, and sales enablement, Karlyn delivers a unique formula for the way influence works: prepare obsessively, read the room relentlessly, and show up with the kind of presence that makes people lean in before you've finished your first sentence.Inside, you'll find the ACTION Sales Framework, the Customer Cue Card, and the Interviewer's Mindset. These proprietary tools were built from real results, including compressing enterprise sales cycles by up to 50%. You'll learn why improv training is the most underrated skill in any sales toolkit, how to handle objections without flinching, and why the meritocracy myth - the belief that talent alone determines outcomes - is the single most expensive blind spot a high performer can carry.This is not a book about becoming someone you're not. It's about recognizing the seller, the communicator, and the closer you already are, and a repeatable system to leverage for success.Three parts. Fourteen chapters. A career's worth of hard-won insight made immediately usable.If you've ever walked out of a conversation thinking I should have said that differently, this book is for you.Like it or not, you're in sales. Now, give it a read, and go get what you want! Read more
