“I am blown away by the scope of this Sales and Marketing Optimization book and the depth of knowledge and real-world experience it contains. I only wish I had a reference like this at the beginning of my career. Fortunately, I have it now and it’s not too late to do something with it! This book is very actionable with constant emphasis on measurable results at the shareholder and stakeholder levels. This is simply the best sales and marketing book for distributors that I have ever read!”- Byron Potter, Vice Chairman and CEO, Dallas Wholesale Builders Supply, Inc.
