How To (Try To) Succeed In Sales

<p>This book is not called How to Succeed in Sales because I pretty much didn't. Don't get me wrong; I wanted to succeed - and I wanted to write that book.<br><br>From my first day of selling life insurance I wrote down down every sales tip I came across. My intention was to publish them and give beginning salespeople the inside scoop on what really worked. I'd share it all......just as soon as I succeeded. Over time though the tips began to collect dust. Everybody has their own definition of success but I never quite felt like I reached mine as a salesman; and after two years I decided to say goodbye to the world of sales.<br><br>This book then is the story of how I tried to succeed over the course of two years in what can be a rough and unforgiving business. Newcomers to sales won't learn how to get rich but they'll learn about some of the highs and lows they can expect as they navigate their tricky first few years. More than anything I hope this book provides a light-hearted relatable telling of my journey from not-salesman to salesman and back again.</p>
