Dear Aspiring Salesperson
This is kind of… embarrassing… for me to say, but as much as it pains me to admit… most sales techniques out there don’t actually work. That’s right. You may have already suspected this, but it is true. They don’t work.
But how can this be? Surely after centuries of salesmanship, we should have some kind of idea what works and what doesn’t! You are absolutely correct, but… look… the problem isn’t that those techniques didn’t work, it is just that they don’t work anymore. The problem is that many of these techniques are just…
Relics from a Bygone Era of Sales Dinosaurs!
See, there was a time when salespeople were instructed to “Sell the Sizzle, not the Steak”. During those less noble times, a salesman would corner his potential prospect like a hunter would trap a wounded animal, bombarding his victim with a well-rehearsed sales script. If the victim would even dare to open his mouth, the salesman would have a snappy comeback to any objection the prospect could give.
Finally, as the prospect was exhausted and weary, he would surrender and write his name on the dotted line. All of this without the salesman ever asking the prospect to sign, because the salesman had been taught “people don’t like signing anything.”
This style of salesmanship — one based on hype and pressure– doesn’t work anymore, assuming it ever worked in the first place. Times have changed, but the unfortunate reality is that most salespeople didn’t follow. Like the dinosaurs of the old age, they are still doing the same things as before, expecting the same kind of results in an environment that has clearly changed.

Real World Influence is a sales training company headquartered in Arnold, Maryland. Our company’s purpose is to help you sell more by teaching you what really works in the modern marketplace. How are we going to achieve this? Everything we do is based on five principles:
Teaching What Works
Everything we are teaching is backed up by real world experience and almost always also by peer-reviewed science. We have spent considerable time separating the wheat from the chaff, so that you can avoid years of misery figuring out what really works.
15 Minutes (Or Less) At a Time
Every one of the Real World Influence courses is divided into 15-minute (or less) long modules that are completely self-contained. It is a well-known fact that people learn best in short bursts, and that is why we have done our best to make the content as easily digestible as possible.
Actionable Content
We believe that if something is not immediately actionable, it is not practical. This is why every module ends with two simple exercises that allow you to immediately go out and use what you learned in practice.
Downloadable Content
Very few people can sit for even an hour in front of their computer screen. This is why we also give you the ability to download every module, to be watched and listened to on your phone, tablet, or any other device you can think of.
