A MUST READ The Ultimate Sales Machine
Chet Holmes has put together a GREAT presentation on how to Turbocharge any business. Although I'm heading into my "autumn years", I've recharged my selling activities. Pity this book wasn't available years ago, not that I wasn't an achiever then but could have been a super star. Highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to "lead the pack" and be a trend setter in the business world.
