"Could a sales career be the right move for me? And if so, how do I go about getting a job in sales?" 25-year sales veteran Ted Newill and professional resume writer Louise Kursmark answer these questions by detailing the opportunities and challenges, the skills and traits needed to succeed, and the strategies for getting a high-paying sales job.

"This is not a sales 'rah-rah' book that is designed to talk you into a sales career by artificially boosting your ego with a lot of psychobabble," says author Ted Newill. "Making a career mistake can be tragic for the individual and the company he or she is trying to represent." Instead, the book gives a realistic picture of what a sales job is like and lets the reader decide if sales is a good career option.
