From Zero to Salesperson: The Self-Taught Pro's Roadmap to Building a Predictable Pipeline, Mastering the Art of the Consultative Sale, and Closing Hi

By Ron Gardinski

Stop selling. Start solving. This is the fundamental shift that separates amateur salespeople from elite, high-income closers. If you're tired of chasing leads, battling objections, and feeling the constant pressure of the quota, it's time to abandon the old tactics and adopt a system that draws high-value clients to you, making the sale the natural conclusion of a helpful conversation.
