Biz Open Sales Library: 10 Free Sales Guides
Ten short, practical sales guides for people who sell without a big sales team: owners, freelancers, shop staff and field reps. Each guide takes one part of the sale, from the first question to asking for a referral, and turns it into simple steps, an invented worked example, a one-page worksheet and a seven-day practice plan. They are honest by design: no pressure tactics, no fake urgency and no income promises. Free to download, and free to share and adapt under CC BY 4.0.
The 10 guides:
1. Ask Before You Pitch: discovery; find the problem worth solving before you show anything.
2. Find the Fit, Save the Day: qualification; spend your time where you can actually help.
3. Make the Value Visible: build a business case the buyer can check (and why time saved is not always cash).
4. Find the Right Accounts: account-focused prospecting.
5. Earn the Next Conversation: relevant, permission-based outreach.
6. Show the Buyer's Task: product demonstrations built around what the buyer needs to do.
7. A Better Answer Starts with a Better Question: clarify a buyer's concern before you answer it.
8. Make the Trade Make Sense: interest-based negotiation; trade, don't just discount.
9. Agree the Next Move: simple mutual action plans.
10. Earn the Introduction: a respectful system for referrals.
