When Frank Bettger was 29, he was a failed insurance salesman. By the time he was 40, he owned a country estate and could have retired. What are the selling secrets that turned Bettger's life around from defeat to unparalleled success and fame as one of the highest-paid salesmen in America?

Life changing

One of my mentors recommended this book to me and I can see why. It’s life changing, some of the principles on this book have been practiced by me already and led to my own success and I’m looking forward to finding more.

Eye Opening Sales Book

Frank Bettger with all the wisdom, candor and clarity of any author of the 1900s, composed an uncanny, sharp, clear book with 101s on sales you'll wish you knew before beginning any sales endeavors. But regardless, they are some extremely valuable perspectives!
