INFLUENCE IN ACTION vs. BUSINESS INACTION reveals why the majority of business coaches and their clients fail and how you can succeed through proven strategies.

WINTER GARDEN, FL, UNITED STATES, April 17, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — — Robert J. Smith, MFA, co-author of the Amazon #1 International Bestseller in the USA, Canada, the UK, and Australia, SALES GENIUS #1 which bested The Wolf of Wall Street’s book on sales techniques, expects to have the same success with his new co-authors from across the globe.

The first book in this news series, INFLUENCE IN ACTION: GAIN PROVEN RESULTS FROM CIALDINI CERTIFIED PROS, is a multi-author book that reveals practical strategies of Dr. Robert B. Cialdini’s decades of evidence-based research. This title is expected to reach #1 rankings upon its scheduled release in June of 2024.

INFLUENCE IN ACTION vs. BUSINESS INACTION is scheduled for release in August of 2024, and is expected to reach #1 International Bestseller rankings as well.

There is no doubt that Dr. Cialdini’s groundbreaking book, INFLUENCE: THE PSYCHOLOGY OF PERSUASION, which has sold in excess of 5,000,000 copies, has provided businesses with strategies that have been proven effective time and time again. These ethical and practical applications work for businesses that range in size from solopreneurs to Fortune 500 Companies, many of which are also clients of Dr. Cialdini and Founding Members of The Cialdini Institute.

Smith knows the effectiveness of Cialdini’s principles of influence first-hand. He was able to increase his top-tier financial advisory practice to #1 worldwide production rankings with The Equitable Life Assurance Society, Mutual of New York (MONY) and AXA Financial. This rise from the top 1% in worldwide production to a #1 overall ranking out of thousands of insurance agents and financial advisors was completed in less than six months of Smith’s reading of INFLUENCE and combining it with his proprietary Factual Storytelling methods.

Smith now heads up Smith Profits, A Robert J. Smith Productions Company. He has authored a dozen articles for Forbes, and scores of other features for national magazines and local newspapers. When the opportunity arrived to become a Founding Member of The Cialdini Institute, he jumped at the chance. While Smith has been advising other financial advisory firms on how to improve their sales, marketing, client retention and referral generating methods for the past three decades, he now accepts clients and client companies in other industries as well.

Within a few months of his formal alignment with The Cialdini Institute, Smith who lives in metro Orlando, reached out to other Founding Members who are also business owners, consultants, and coaches from around the world, for the purpose of collaborating on this book series. Its purpose is to provide readers with practical and effective methods to leverage Dr. Cialdini’s teachings to optimize their businesses and their work in their professions.

Smith has asked two co-authors of INFLUENCE IN ACTION: GAIN PROVEN RESULTS FROM CIALDINI CERTIFIED PROS to pass the torch to co-authors of INFLUENCE IN ACTION vs. BUSINESS INACTION. Those two co-authors are Maria Maier and Ellin Sidell.

Maria Maier, MBA emigrated from Volzhskiy, Russia to metropolitan Syracuse, New York. She is the CEO of Step Up & Thrive, a business consulting and coaching firm. Maria is also a board member of the Mohawk Valley Businesswomen’s Network. “To the second cohort of authors, let your writing be a beacon of ethical influence, guiding readers to new horizons with the compass of integrity.”

Ellin Sidell has built effective teams, systems, processes, and solutions that have grown multi-billion dollar businesses for iconic companies such as Nestle, Microsoft, and Costco. She is dedicated to Maximizing Human Potential and Organizational Results and is located in Lakewood Ranch, Florida. “It is a privilege to collaborate with numerous exceptional colleagues who are equally devoted to sharing practical and impactful methods for achieving results through influence. Collectively, the co-authors of this book and those to come are cultivating awareness of the potency of these ethical influence principles, all through sustained efforts.”

Co-authors of INFLUENCE IN ACTION vs. BUSINESS INACTION include Vladimir Bushin and Christian Younggren.

Why INFLUENCE IN ACTION? “You can read the greatest business books in the world. If you haven’t put their principles into action to achieve desired results, what have you accomplished?” Robert J. Smith, MFA

Here is what others say about Dr. Cialdini and INFLUENCE: THE PSYCHOLOGY OF PERSUASION:

“’Influence’ is one of the best business books of all time.” -Warren Buffett, CEO Berkshire Hathaway

“Anybody writing about persuasion and influence today stands on Cialdini’s shoulders.”— Daniel H. Pink

“Anyone who wants their abilities in communication or negotiation to be at their highest level has to read Robert Cialdini’s book “Influence.” Your knowledge base is simply incomplete without it.” — Chris Voss

“I think it is extremely important to understand human behavior or behavior modification before you focus on technology…You can spend a lot of time jumping from one tool to another without developing any core skill. So, I would really encourage people to study books like Influence by Robert Cialdini…so you get a fundamental set of principles that you can apply online, offline, to different tools, to direct copy, to complex sales in big organizations. That is number one.” — Tim Ferriss
