And you call this a living?

The alarm clock read 4:30AM – and I was still awake.

Once again I was stuck with that cold-sweat fixation that tomorrow could very well be the end of my career; but with my anxiety growing, the reality of any sleep at all drifted further and further away.

Even worse, that pervasive thought of dread wouldn’t leave me alone.

Others are out there, better prepared and more determined than me. I’m fatigued, filled with uncertainty and stuck with the feeling that I’m going to blow another opportunity, one that I desperately need! The only thing I knew for sure was, something had to change.

If all this sounds all too familiar, you’re not alone. In fact, you really shouldn’t even be surprised.

After all, when you’ve been thrown in over your head to do a job for which you’ve had no effective training or practice, who could expect anything different.

In the absence of any real familiarity in the basic principles of sales, who can blame you for wanting to quit?

Now we all know that the wrong thing to do is nothing and the right thing to do is to get some effective help. So, if you’re still with me this far, there is hope, because of these three important things:

a) You feel that there is something to know and you need to find out what it is.

b) You’re serious enough about changing your life and willing to do something about it.

c) You’re open to getting some effective help.

This is why I wrote “The Sales Journal” – for working professionals just like you. It’s for those who know when they need help, are willing to get it, and then put it to immediate use in their own lives.

Bluntly, there is more valuable, usable information on any page in this book than in any other text I’ve read on the subject.

Why? Because the sole focus of this book is on fundamental principles underlying all selling.

Gaining an understanding of the basic fundamentals of selling combined with a disciplined practice of workable methods in applying them will give you the stability, certainty and effortless competence that is missing in your life and your career.

And, even better, you don’t have to study some dry, academic textbook for several semesters to accomplish the results you want.

Instead, just flip though this book at random and read any article that grabs your attention. I guarantee you will find at least one gemstone that you can use today to get you going on the right track, immediately.

And that’s really what you’re looking for isn’t it?
