    Sales refer to the process by the means of which the salesperson or the sales team is able to make revenue for itself on the basis of which the company is ranked positions in the market against its competitors. 
Sales are related to grasping people's mind, understanding their needs and requirements that enable them to make the right decision about choosing a product. The buyer and seller interact with each other, make deals, negotiate the price and close the deal. A good sale should come out as a win-win situation for both buyer and seller. The sales are essential and play a crucial role in a business. 
The sales process is the line of events that take place during a sale. An efficient salesperson will follow the sales process accurately in order to present its customers with a successful deal. 
It is important for a company to possess a great sales team for yielding optimum results. A great sales team can be considered similar to great schools. Their goal is to achieve the best results and to ensure this, they work persistently to instill optimal sales skills within their reps. It has been commonly seen that most of the sales teams are led by a sales coach rather than by a sales manager. 
Sales skill is something that isn’t naturally present within the young minds and also it is not easy for the sales leaders to teach best sales skills to their reps due to time constraints or lack of mastery, as they think. 
A company or an organization thrives and survives because of the sale of the product that it brands or produces. It is important for the company to secure its sales on the basis of which it is rated over a measurable sales performance. 
Every company is required to possess its own sales methodologies that represent the product, market, values, and goals of the company in the best interests.

    The world is ever-changing in unpredictable ways. 
As a leader, you need to constantly re-examine your assumptions of what it means to be "great" as old models of leadership quickly fade into irrelevance. In short, you need an agile mindset. 
But how can you, as a leader, become agile? 
We need to update and disrupt past definitions of leadership -- to challenge ourselves and test our relevance often. We need to recognize challenges swiftly and respond decisively, especially when our environment is volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. 
8 Paradoxes of Leadership Agility teaches you how to rise to your challenges by describing how leaders met their challenging conundrums with agility and emerged stronger. 
This book outlines a powerful model and actionable steps using the Re4 Coaching Model. The model helps you see your world with objective clarity, understand what has to be done and why. Through this model, you gain the resolve and confidence to overcome challenges with authenticity and integrate theoretical learning. 
The Re4 coaching model focuses you by using four basic principles:Reconstruct the map - change your perception to find the truth;Refresh the Lens - identify and remove assumptions and bias;Renew the Identity - use your new perception and lens to create a new business persona that tackles change;Rebuild the Capabilities - Learn and practice new skills and actions for improved outcomes. 
This book bridges the gap between theory and practice through stories of leaders distilled into eight representational paradoxes that can occur in any culture and contexts and contains exercises with guiding questions you can use to navigate your paradoxes. 
It's time for you to grow and thrive.
