What will convince your customers to work with you, talking about their problems or about your solution? Ari Galper, the world's top authority on trust-based selling, says it's all about the problem. Think about it—if someone trusts you enough, you could say, “I've got the solution to your problem, let's sign you up,” and you wouldn't even need to tell them what the solution is. To build trust, talk about your customers' problems. Now, apply this to the book you're writing to grow your business—are you talking more about solutions or spending your time showing your customers that you understand their problems?

While her new book, Selling Like We're Human, isn't about trademark issues, it was a trademark dispute the Swiss Sarah Santacroce got dragged into that led to the title.

Then HBR decided not to publish her work anymore, but a last-minute cancellation by another of their writers led to the print version of HBR publishing one of Dorie's articles, and the rest is history.  Listen to Dorie tell the story behind her four books, including her latest The Long Game: How To Be a Long-Term Thinker In a Short-Term World. You'll learn what Dorie has picked up over the years about how to build an author platform, market your book, and leverage it to grow your business.  Links:  Twitter  LinkedIn  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Clubhouse  DorieClark.com
