For the past five decades, I've made my living in sales, and an excellent one at that in one of the toughest sales arenas out there: selling accident, health, and life insurance door-to-door. I decided I was going to make the sales process a fun experience for both myself and the consumer. I cannot recall meeting a single soul who told me of a childhood dream to be a salesperson. In fact, a lot of folks may even have a negative attitude toward the sales profession. My mission is to replace that preconceived notion with a positive one. Even if you have an aversion to the very word sales, at some point in your life I guarantee you will find yourself needing to sell something. It may be your talents and expertise to a potential employer or client. You may wind up in a job where some aspect of it involves sales. Your role as a leader may involve selling your ideas to your team. Or after reading this book, you may understand the tremendous opportunities that a career in sales can yield-if you just approach it with the right mindset and with integrity.

I invite you to join me on what salespeople call "a ride along," which is where a senior salesperson shows a newbie the ropes. This book delivers a winning sales philosophy illustrated by real life stories and Knock-Knock Moments-lessons and revelations that have fueled my career and that will help yours.
