The #1 strategy to build trust and create success
In The Sale, bestselling author Jon Gordon and rising star Alex Demczak deliver an invaluable lesson about what matters most in life and work and how to achieve it. The book teaches four lessons about integrity in order to create lasting success.
The authors tell the story of Matt Williams, a sales representative for Turnbow Technologies, an aviation technology company founded by his grandfather. Matt encounters many obstacles both personally and professionally, and ultimately finds himself in a struggling marriage, an unfulfilling job, in a desperate search for answers, and at the crossroads of a major decision that will determine his future. Matt meets an unlikely mentor, who may just have the answers Matt seeks, as he faces the biggest decision and test of his life. The Sale follows Matt as he learns:
* Why his pursuit of financial success at the expense of his family and the people he loves is counterproductive
* The power of integrity, trust, and consistency
* Powerful ways to create fulfilment and real success that endures
Perfect for managers, sales professionals, and teams that are seeking durable, reliable, and powerful strategies for success at work, The Sale also belongs on the bookshelves of anyone looking for insightful ways to achieve their goals and realize their greatest potential.
