I have decided to polish it up and publish it fo-realsies. I am still working over all the details, but I should have more information soon. Drop your best email below and I’ll keep you updated on the progress of the book.

I think people need to hear this.. and understand not just listen!

Greg H.

I have never had a sales career directly, only peripherally. I tend to be a “glass is half full” type. Seeing the type of manipulation that goes on daily in life, as Sales Li(f)e ably shows, can help one to navigate life more successfully yet ethnically.

Jeff L.

Since I started retail I have believed in this idea so strongly that everything in life is in some way a sale. This book put into words what I had always been thinking and went above and beyond. A great inspirational and motivational read!”

John W.

This book is well written and thought out, with the proper amount of explanation as to why we do what we do and why they [other people] do what they do.

I am in sales and see this type of material day in and day out, so it served as more of a rephrasing at times, or a way to review what I know. My friend read it who is not in sales, however, and he said there was a lot to be gained from it if you don’t already hear these concepts in sales training. Nice idea.”

Sheila B.

Easy to read. Good examples, easy to understand. You did a good job summarizing to main points. I liked that you used real examples and painted a clear image of how to apply those principles.

Great read overall, I sure will go back to it from time to time to get a morale boost or to remember the principles.

I am going to read this book for the second time. There is a lot of valuable and practical information in this book for me absorb. I love your writing style as well. I’m glad I found your website!

Reviews of the manuscript for Sales Li(f)e

I recently received this review of my book. I wanted to share it and answer her back point by point. Her review is in italics and my responses are preceded by the large R.

Keep scrolling for more reviews.

Honestly, I find your approach and style refreshing and fun. You put a lot of your character and personal experience in it, which I value. Thank you.

RWell thank you. I try to let the personality shine through my work. I will say that my writing style has evolved considerably since I wrote Sales Li(f)e.

I like the angle of looking at sales principles practically, breaking it down. Not yet in sales, reflecting on the book encouraged more self-awareness in my everyday interactions and motivations. I appreciate the book for that also.

RThat was the main point of the book. I wanted to show people that there is a reason those sleazy sales tricks work and that you can gain a lot of power from learning how to use them in your every day life.

The main reason I probably wouldn’t recommend the book is not because it’s not good. It’s just not something I would rave about to friends, however helpful I’ve found it. It is quite a long read which lacks examples. The ones you include are useful and you use them well (comic effect in places) but I would have liked to have seen more “evidence” in your exampling of the intersection of sales and leading a fuller life. I thought for a book of 135 pages you could strengthen it with more examples.

RI completely understand. There is a reason I am giving this book away and that is because it is more of a manifesto than anything else. I had just quit my job in sales and dumped my thoughts on to paper as best I knew how at the time. I am currently working on another book that takes the book further and gives more real life examples of how sales and life are interconnected. It will be shorter, more interesting and almost all story.

Just another point: I thought your choice of quotes were awesome (inspiration!) but they somehow overshadowed your content in places also. Keep them in though. Just maybe think of using highlighting text tools to embolden what YOU are saying…?

RThanks for the input. I will keep that in mind for the next book.

By the way your article on Medium rocks. One of the most useful articles I’ve read in 2014! I have and will continue to recommend that!
Thank you for your real-ness and generosity.
I wish you the best

RWell thank you. I appreciate the love and I still read that article regularly myself to keep me on my game. Thanks for such a detailed review and for taking the time to read and share your thoughts.

I think [Sales Li(f)e] is a must-read. A very different approach but an interesting one.

Sara O.

There is a lot of wisdom in this book.”

Johnny P.

This is a book that can be read again and again and you will find something new each time.

Will T.

This book was insightful and presented sales in a whole new light. Thanks for writing it and I am glad I found your website.”

Kareem S.

Your book is a good tool to help us to understand ourselves, sales and marketing as well as the basics of human behavior.

Ireally enjoyed reading your book and thought it had an abundance of useful information I could share with many of my classmates in my FBLA and VE program.”

Dylon H.

It is a good tool to help us defend ourselves from all of tactics salesmen and marketing people apply to make us buy a lot of things that most of the times we don’t really need or want.

Vivian B.

I feel there is a lot of valuable information in this book that I was not aware of until I read it. So naturally I wanted a few of my friends get the material as well.
