A thirty-year-old mother of two, Marion Luna Brem had just been given a death sentence: terminal cancer. She had no job. No health insurance. Her marriage would collapse under the stress of her treatment. And her most pressing concern: How do I pay next month’s rent? Her first major “sale” was landing a job as a car salesman. Within two months she had become salesperson of the month and by the end of her first year, salesperson of the year. Four and a half years after selling her first car, Brem bought her own dealership, and in the next decade went on to open additional dealerships and businesses. She beat her cancer, too. In Women Make the Best Salesmen, Brem reveals the top sales strategies she discovered, refined, and applied to build hermultimillion dollar enterprise. But, as she points out, we are all "salesmen" – whether we interviewing for a job or operating a register at a department store, trying to get our children into a special program or looking for a lifelong companion. And women, with their natural social skills and acute emotional antennae, have natural advantages both sexes can learn from. Filled with unconventional wisdom and real-life lessons, Women Make the Best Salesmen is the essential guide to the art of selling yourself.

Cold calling sucks! Those three words landed my job at the Seattle Fortune 1000 company. Within minutes on my first interview the sales manager asked me, "What do you think about cold calling?" Waiting for him to wipe the surprised look off his face I added, "But I'm one of the best you'll ever see doing it." I went on to set company records by becoming their #1 salesman in the nation for three years. Does cold calling work? Yes. Do you have to like doing it? No. You could sell to anyone - if you could just get in front of them first. Here are just three of the many techniques you will learn for how to get in front of them. - Create the courage to call by being a coward - semper fi. - Make 3,800 cold calls this year spending 6 minutes per day. - Make your voicemail jail break. As over 150,000 people who have attended my seminars will tell you, I don't teach theory. I teach simple things that produce good results. "Jerry Hocutt is the Zen master of cold calls." - Los Angeles Times
