In this powerful book, author Arishma Singh offers a personal and insightful perspective about how to THRIVE in sales by offering a transformative method designed for anyone in the sales field that is ready to observe their inner game and tap into powerful results.”

Barry Lewis

“As a sales leader looking for ways to enhance team performance you’re often focusing on repetitive sales training and old school fixes. Most sales tuition or training is typically focused on buyer persona or sales process/methodology. Arishma has taken a different approach by providing honest and powerful self-reflection coupled with tools and techniques to support you to take control of your emotions, mindset and ultimately your performance."
Daniel Drake
Sales Director, Experian
"While this book is called The Respected Salesperson, it is not only for salespeople. Anyone and everyone who reads this book will come away with a better sense of self and practical advice on how to live a fuller life. Arishma is generous with her life story and does not shy away from speaking her truth even through her trauma. Bravo. I could not put this book down."

Jodie Spiteri-James
Professional Development Manager, Australian Society of Authors
“Get ready to Thrive! From the first page to the last, Arishma had me absolutely captivated with her very deep, private, and open stories related to "Sales". The Respected Salesperson encourages its reader to challenge their own biases and deeply reflect on their true measure of success as a Salesperson. It then takes you on a transformational adventure, by sharing techniques like EFT and Thrive in depth, which I can't wait to apply myself to everyday situations. This book is game changing, and I highly recommend it to anyone in sales, looking to really unlock their true potential."
Deepa Adhav
Organisational Project & Change Manager
“As a business owner and entrepreneur, I have always had professional salespeople in my team and considered the “always up” personality of the high performers was their true self, and their constant need for affirmation was just part of what it took to keep them on “the up”. The tools offered by Arishma in this book are not just for salespeople to help them gain control over all of their sales relationships, (including their manager), and build respect in all aspects of their life, but anyone with a desire to thrive in their chosen career."
Pip Youngman
Founder/CEO , Pivot Software | Founder, My Village Community | Head of Market, PeopleStrong
“Reading this book has helped me to understand the importance of self-belief and respect in a way which I’d never fully considered before. Most salespeople refer to their profession as a ‘confidence game’. However, the firsthand stories and practical applications of techniques within this book will mean that anyone looking to elevate their careers further will have ample amounts of not just the ‘why’, but also the how. I strongly recommend this book to all who are seeking a new way to achieve success in sales."
Nathan Pickering
Head of Sales and Partnerships, Experian
"As a Sales Leader, I have read, practiced and preached various sales practices, processes and philosophies popularised over the last 30 years. I found Arishma Singh’s The Repeated Salesperson to be a refreshingly holistic approach to achieving sales success and understanding your high-performance drivers and detractors. Arishma dives into the interplay between our Thoughts, Habits, Reasons, Instincts, Values and Emotions or the THRIVE model to share her deeply personal journey to success with practical tools to harness your true potential. I have witnessed the power of truly understanding your limiting beliefs, tapping into your gut instincts, values and resilience to build world class sales performance and teams. If you want to succeed and develop the mindset to thrive in today’s competitive environment, then I cannot more highly recommend the Respected Salesperson."
Dawn Tingwell
Seasoned Sales Leader
“Sales books I’ve previously been exposed to focus on methodologies, qualification and scripting however, Arishma’s book brings a unique and refreshing perspective which gets to the heart of what really underpins ongoing sales success; our thinking. The book provides practical exercises to both identify and address blockers, minimise stress and hone our mindset to thrive as sales professionals.”

“All of us are in sales” - one of the great leaders I previously worked with used to say this almost during every All-Hands call. The Respected Salesperson provides a fresh perspective how we can fully live our life personally and professionally. Arishma unlike traditional sales skills looks inwards and emphasis on self-reflection, potential realisation and channelling energy to thrive in sales (life really) using behavioural science. Highly recommended read for anyone who wishes to overcome perception challenges and achieve their full potential.”
Akshay Koul

The scenarios described resonated deeply with me and offered a strategy to navigate these in a professional capacity and, perhaps more importantly, on a personal/internal level. A well-thought-out piece of literature, it is a thought-provoking book offering insight and actionable intelligence that will undoubtedly make any sales professional all the better for having read it. Highly recommend."
Jonathan Coleman

This book is your own personal cheer leader coupled with a dose of reality and will leave you asking yourself the question: If I can’t respect myself, how are am I going to get others to do the same?"

“"Having worked in various media and tech sales roles for the last 16 years, I’ve read many books which focus on the sales process itself rather than the mindset to become successful. This book traverses the two areas seamlessly and offers exercises to help you practise the mindful skills that give you the fundamental mindset strength and tools required to make anyone successful not just in your career but in life as well."
Roxy Jeffery
Enterprise Martech Account Manager in Banking & Insurance, Salesforce

Sinead Galloway

As a founder of an early-stage start-up, I could easily resonate with Arishma's book. The book not only details out the techniques to overcome challenges & struggles faced by a sales professional, but it also provides the insights on underlying reasons of these challenges. The book is certainly helpful to anyone struggling to find their place in a professional world."
Saurabh Nagpal
Product Consultant & Founder, FitVidPro
“I have read many sales books over the years but this is different as it not only helps with the ‘what’ but also simple steps of ‘how’ to improve your performance in sales career and in life generally. Arishma is a passionate storyteller, and the book feels like a you are having a conversation with her."
Amrit Sandhu
Account Exec, Salesforce & Founder, Royal Jewels Sydney
"The book served as a good reminder for re-examining my value system and for working out how congruent it was to how I showed up at work.
Unlike the conventional sales methodology books out there, The Respected Salesperson delves into behavioural neuroscience, challenges the reader to self-reflect on how they perceive themselves and understand how these perceptions can project/manifest in a workplace setting. Recommended for anyone in sales, teams that work closely with them or anyone that is into business psychology books."

Shaun Choo

The Respected Salesperson is an intriguing delve into what makes us behave the way we do. It encourages the reader to be open and self-reflective, it not only identifies patterns of ingrained and potentially hindering behaviour but also explores where these behaviours manifested from. Through this explorative and revealing process it provides opportunities for the reader to understand their habits and emotions and ultimately empowers them to change and grow from them. Well written, at times confronting but powerfully insightful and beneficial for salespeople, and indeed, for people in all professions that warrant influencing.
Petar Buza
Operations Manager, Anasazi Trading
"The Respected Salesperson takes a fresh view on the sales role within organisations. Arishma provides useful and meaningful techniques for sales professionals to thrive in their careers.

I would recommend reading this book for a refreshing view on selling and how to thrive in the role."
James Cullis
Account Exec UK & EMEA, Atacamma

The book helps you understand what type of salesperson you are and how you can get the maximum of every sales via using your mind and the EFT techniques. I am looking forward to THRIVE with what I’ve learnt."
Tim Pelgrave
Managing Director, Financial Facts
"Gosh, how I wish a book like this existed when I was new to sales! So many sales books on the market focus on the how to-do and not the how to-think. Mindset is a fundamental part of sales success and confidence in the role. I’d recommend this book to any seasoned sales professionals and also anyone starting out their career.”
Shaunna Meneilly
Sales Manager, First AML Australia
"I loved Arishma’s perspectives in support of her EFT and Thrive approaches and her very simple but powerful messages like enjoying the process over just striving for the accomplishment. These insights come from a position of experience, and every salesperson can draw wisdom from the personal stories woven into the fabric of this book. As a huge benefactor and believer of professional and personal development, if you commit to doing the work and exercises outlined in this book, then you will reap the benefits. Congratulations Arishma on a truly authentic and valuable piece of work."
