Sell To Grow Rich


For me this book is an absolute labor of love and as the title denotes, “Sell To Grow Rich,” is not an empty claim but one that speaks to the very heart of selling as a profession. In Og Madino's best selling book, “The Greatest Salesman In The World,” he say's that in no other profession is there an opportunity to go from poverty to great wealth, than that of selling, and boy is he right. As to whether or not salesman are made or born is a question for the beholder, but if you know my story, sales literally saved my life as an at risk young man, growing up on the mean streets of Harlem, New York who was deep in poverty, and both busted and disgusted. I was also a soon to be father at age 17 with a child on the way. Salesman as a whole have not been given a fair shake, because of a few dishonest individuals who's chief aim was to defraud the customer rather than help the customer make an intelligent buying decision, at the same time delivering to him or her, great value for the money they have spent. In this book were only going to focus on the positive aspects of selling, because the bottom line is that we are all salesman, selling ourselves, our idea's, to others from, our family members to the stranger on the street. If you are in a relationship married or unmarried, you had to sell yourself to the guy or girl of your dreams, so the bottom line is that we are all salesman, and the only difference between you and someone else is whether or not you sell as a profession, to make a living, to earn your money, to pay your bills. My aim in writing this book was to give you an inside view, of the life of a salesman and to show you that they are your neighbors, your pastor, your doctor and yourself, in a day and time when companies are doing massive layoffs, and many people are truly suffering during one of the greatest economic downturns in modern history, don't be a victim of circumstances, take your own destiny in your hands and “Sell To Grow Rich."
