fun at myself as a sales person and I learned a ton. Thank you.”

Donald A. Connelly

“This is a rare book. Not only does it teach you what not to do, it delivers the lesson in such a way that you can die laughing. I spit all over my computer screen when I read one of the stories.

Learn from Dan. He’s the man.”
