More About the Author

I remember my mother chasing my car as I backed out of the driveway to register on my first day of college: "Take pre-med!" she screamed, "You can always switch!" But I wanted to be a businessman, like my dad.

He was the consummate entrepreneur. Growing up, I used to sneak downstairs and listen in on his Thursday night pinochle game. Arguments and laughs about business and life. It proved to be my inspiration for my life's pursuits. My pal, Duke Dalton said, "You know what I hate about your old man? He's never wrong." I miss my folks, and I'm grateful to them for their wisdom - the stuff they accused me of never listening to for 30+ years. If your parents are alive, call them right now and tell them you love them.

In college, I played Scrabble every day with my best friend, Michael Toll. He usually won. It taught me about words and how to use them. Michael also provided me with the challenge of winning at games, both sports and intellectual. He'll tell you he was better than me at everything. I feel the same about him. That was the fun.

I spent a year in Europe and came to the realization that I knew very little compared to what there was to know, which is funny, because I left for Europe knowing everything.

I raised a family. My three beautiful daughters taught me patience. They also gave me the courage and inspiration to achieve in the face of failure. Girls, I love you.

And I became a salesman. My first goal was to be the best salesman in the world. I'm still on that journey, every day. In the pursuit of that goal I surprised myself by becoming a columnist, an author, a speaker, a consultant, and a sales trainer. I used to hate flying. Now I spend about a quarter of my life in an airplane. But I really don't mind, because it gives me the precious opportunity to share my sales knowledge and my secrets with a worldwide audience. What could be better?

My name is Jeffrey Gitomer. I'm a salesman. I'm a dad. I'm a college dropout.

My objective in life is to help others, establish long-term relationships, and have fun - every day. When you love your work like I do, every day is the same. It's a holiday.

5.0 out of 5 stars If it's not in this book, you don't need to know it!, June 11, 2000
Gitomer's book is the tool for real sales people. There's plenty of theory books out there, 2,000 ways to close, yadda yadda. But if you really want to spend your time selling and cashing your commission checks, this is the book to buy. I've been in sales for nearly 22 years, and I know that how he tells it is how it is, and I STILL learned all kinds of things. It blew me away how clever, funny, brilliant this stuff is. The guy knows what he's talking about - listen to him, do what he says, and send me a commission check for encouraging you to buy it. You'll be making money in no time. I gave it to my Ex because I wanted my child support checks on time -he sells coffins. (No kidding!) Guess what - since then, he's been the top salesman in the cemetery. (You're laughing - I'm serious!) It's a must-have - and you'll be able to throw away all the stodgy sales books on your shelf. What a deal!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is the ultimate sales training boot camp in print., April 13, 1999
By A Customer
I've read them all. And as a sales trainer and speaker myself, I can say that this is the ultimate book for sales people in any industry no matter what skill level you are currently at. Plus it is very easy to read and understand. If all salespeople were to read this book, there would be no reason for sales trainers like me. If you want to do yourself and your career a huge favor, buy this book and read it. Then use the information in it to soar. I recommend it to the people I've had the opportunity to train.
