This well written page-turner is action and in-action, rich and poor, life and death, about sales and selling. It's history, it's philosophy, it's adventure, but most important, it's answers. And keep in mind that it's a novel, it's fiction. Or, is it?

The Named Method Inside the Story

The Five Shifts that turn selling into serving.

To keep up with the times, sometimes you have to go back in time. These are the five gear changes at the heart of The Last Up. Tap each one to open it.

01

From Selling to Solving

People already want to buy. But between every customer and every sale is a problem. Your job is to find it and solve it. Stop focusing on closing the sale, and start focusing on helping your customer solve their problem.

+
02

From Confrontation to Collaboration

Most people feel at odds with the person across the counter, and the bigger the purchase, the deeper the doubt. The fix isn't changing how the customer thinks, it's changing how you think. Stop seeing customers as targets. Join their team, and solve the problem together.

+
03

From Pitching to Probing

The easiest way to start solving a problem is to uncover what it actually is. Careful, compassionate questions do two things at once: they reveal the real problem, and they prove you genuinely care. Only then does the customer start to see you differently.

+
04

From Getting to Giving

Traditional selling fixates on what you can get: how many purchases, how much time. Flip it. When you focus on giving instead of getting, you're free to deliver real value through expertise, advice and trust, and that value is what earns the sale.

+
05

From Closing to Coaching

The real way to succeed in selling is to stop selling. Build the relationship, earn the trust, then guide your customer like a coach instead of pushing like a closer. When people feel heard and understood, they close themselves.
