Venda sua história para Hollywood
by Kenneth AtchityA influência crescente da Internet e a transformação das empresas do ramo editorial e cinematográfico em grandes corporações tornou o caminho de um livro para a telinha e/ou para a telona mais complicado, mais excêntrico e mais empolgante. O objetivo deste pequeno livro é mostrar o caminho que a sua história terá de percorrer para chegar a ser contada na tela. Não há uma série de regras e regulamentos, porque não existem mais. Qualquer regra que venha a ser implantada já foi e continuará sendo desobedecida. O que este livro oferece é o resultado de quase trinta anos observando como as coisas acontecem no show business, o ramo do entretenimento (mais conhecido no mundo inteiro como Hollywood). A experiência do Dr. Ken Atchity em Hollywood vai de agenciar escritores a produzir seus filmes para o cinema e para a televisão. Ele já viu o mercado de histórias em Hollywood sob todos os ângulos possíveis e imagináveis, incluindo as questões jurídicas e comerciais. NOTA DO TRADUTOR: Se você está lendo este livro em português, é sinal de que o caminho da sua história até Hollywood será mais longo ainda, pois ela terá de chegar lá traduzida, em inglês, para concorrer em pé de igualdade com as que foram escritas originalmente no idioma local. Mas não deixe que isso o desiluda em relação a este livro. Se você escreve histórias que os leitores dizem que poderia dar um filme, aprender duas técnicas detalhadamente exemplificadas aqui, o tratamento e a cobertura, e aplicar uma ou outra no seu livro, vão passar a dizer que o certamente daria um ótimo filme. Além disso, há muito material interessante, que serve para matar a curiosidade sobre o caminho trilhado por um livro, quando o vemos encenado no cinema e na TV.

La ventaja del introvertido te equipará con un sistema completo enfocado a la venta transparente, auténtica y de baja presión. Los extrovertidos rara vez se quedan cortos de palabras, y sus conversaciones y argumentos de venta nunca se sienten forzados para ellos. El mundo de las ventas es natural para los extrovertidos. Pero los introvertidos no se sienten cómodos con las tácticas tradicionales como empujar agresivamente un producto o hablar sobre las objeciones de un cliente. Lo que hace que La ventaja del introvertido sea tan poderoso y práctico es que explica cómo los introvertidos pueden sentirse igual de cómodos y sinceros en el mundo de las ventas también, ¡sin cambiar lo que son! La estrategia de 7 pasos de Matthew esboza lo que se necesita para obtener resultados fiables y repetibles, desde la implementación de preguntas bien preparadas hasta la adopción del poder de la historia. En La ventaja del introvertido aprenderás: * Cómo encontrar la confianza natural * Cómo prepararte para cada situación * Cómo esquivar las objeciones que de otra manera expondrían tu incomodidad * Cómo pedir la venta (sin preguntar) * Cómo beneficiarte de un proceso que no depende de la personalidad, y ¡simplemente disfrutar de las ventas! Tanto si persigues las ventas como una carrera como si eres un pequeño empresario que no quiere vender, pero necesita hacerlo, La ventaja del introvertido es tu guía para el éxito de las ventas. The Introvert's Edge Matthew Pollard, an awarded sales authority and fellow introvert, has created and perfected a system for selling in a transparent, authentic and low-pressure way–with no hard closing or bulldog sales techniques. The Introvert’s Edge will equip you with a comprehensive system focused on transparent, authentic, and low-pressure selling. Extroverts are rarely short on words, and their conversations and sales pitches never feel sales-y to them. The world of sales just comes natural to the extrovert. But introverts aren’t comfortable with traditional tactics like aggressively pushing a product or talking over a customer’s objections. What makes The Introvert’s Edge so powerful and practical is that it explains how the introvert can feel equally comfortable and sincere in the sales world as well—without changing who they are! Matthew’s 7-step strategy outlines what you need for reliable and repeatable results, from implementing well-prepared questions to embracing the power of story. In The Introvert’s Edge you will learn: * How to find natural confidence * How to prepare for every situation * How to sidestep objections that would otherwise expose their uncomfortableness * How to ask for the sale (without asking) * How to profit from a process that doesn’t rely on personality, and simply enjoy sales! Whether you’re pursuing sales as a career or you’re a small business owner who doesn’t want to sell but needs to, The Introvert’s Edge is your guide to sales success.
