About Elinor and Smooth Sale, LLC

Use Heart-Based Selling to Hoist Your Sales!

Elinor Stutz, International Speaker, Author and CEO of Smooth Sale, LLC

Twitter is Elinor's favorite book marketing tool!

Elinor's mission is to enable entrepreneurs, job seekers, authors, and corporate sales teams achieve their own success by teaching heart-based selling skills and applying to all areas of your life. According to Elinor, everything you want in life is based upon understanding the other person, and working diligently to help them achieve their goals all the while building long term relationships. As an author, you need to sell to your agent, publisher, media and reading audience to have a ready audience and book selling successfully.

Smooth Sale provides motivational speaking, training, coaching, licensing and a full product line for all learning styles. Elinor now shares her writing success secrets with others in her webinar series, "How to Write A Book and Sell More Copies". Her book, "Nice Girls DO Get The Sale" was featured in TIME Magazine and on ABC-TV KGO San Francisco “View from the Bay”. The book is continually voted a business book favorite and sells worldwide.

"HIRED! How to Use Sales Techniques to Sell Yourself On Interviews" is due in bookstores October 2010. This book came about from community service being a continual part of Elinor's business plan. New in her town, she and a friend arranged a community Career and Business Resource Fair attracting 200 attendees, media and persuaded the Mayor to give opening remarks. The outpouring of gratitude afterward motivated Elinor to write the book!

Elinor contributes articles to Wasabbi Ventures LLC blog and the San Francisco Women's Online Journal. She hosts the Smooth Sale Success Show on www.TheWINOnline.com and is a contributing partner to the WhisperingEnergy.com social media collaborative.

Ms. Stutz always avails herself to answering specific questions, consultations to determine if Smooth Sale services are right for you, and of course the media! Rave testimonials and referrals are available for every area of her business.

Testimonials for "Nice Girls Do Get The Sale"

"I love this book -- especially that it encourages ethical behavior rather than the usual used-car-salesman tactics that can be so off-putting to women both as salespeople and consumers. It's a must-read for rainmakers -- male or female."
- Taylor Mallory, Lifestyle, Franchise and Web Editor, PINK magazine

Refreshing, real and an easy 'how to' read. Elinor has packed lots of real-life sales tips, stories and techniques into this dynamic book. A must-read for those in any type of sales!"

This is a wonderful, warm, practical book that shows you how to build great relationships with your customers."
- Brian Tracy, Author and Sales Trainer

I highly recommend reading ?HIRED? if you are determined to find a great job. The sale approach to finding a job really makes sense to me but I?ve never applied it in the past. Then I read Elinor?s book and applied a number of Elinor?s recommendations. I had several offers to choice from and found the perfect job for me.
