Resumen del Editor
This book is designed to be a collection of short stories, anecdotes and learnings that represent my experience over the last 28 years of sales and sales leadership building teams at tech startups. Most of my learnings come from the mentors and leaders I’ve had the great fortune to work with and the subsequent mistakes that I've made over the years, of which there are countless mistakes. Bouncing back from those mistakes has given me the experience and the expertise that has led me to success at building Sales teams at startups in the subsequent years.
I cover all sorts of topics including
- Hiring and interviewing high performing salespeople and sales leaders
- Training and onboarding
- Coaching
- Firing, Layoffs and Performance management (lots of stories and screw-ups here)
- Building sales processes
- What it’s like to be a leader and the challenges therein
- Being a sales leader at a startup
- And much more....
The book is not meant to be a heavy instruction manual that is to be referenced again and again like a textbook in a business class. It's meant to be an easy-to-listen book that you would pick up in the morning with your cup of coffee or morning dump, read a couple of stories, have a few takeaways for the day and then put it down only to be picked up the next day for a quick listen.
Honestly, I wish I had this book in my hands over 20 years ago to guide me so I could have avoided all the mistakes I made over the years and saw even more success quicker. I hope that this book will serve the reader in that function.

Skilled lawyers who open their own firms can quickly find their dream career turning into a nightmare. When the firm doesn’t grow as fast as you expected, the money doesn’t come like you’d hoped despite working long hours, and your less-capable peers are passing you by, it can be demoralizing and deeply frustrating. Mike Morse has been there. The change he made that transformed both his personal life and his professional future was running his law firm like a business.

People are the problem. They're always the problem. If a business person goes home frustrated, if they talk with their significant other about it, if they lay awake at night stewing about it, inevitably the problem is some person at work - a colleague, subordinate, or boss. Handling people issues is every leader's major headache. It's what takes up the majority of their time and - more important - the bulk of their head space. Every leader can and must develop this most important of all management skills.

Over the past decade, Inbound Marketing has changed the way companies earn buyers’ trust and build their brands - through meaningful, helpful content. But with that change comes unprecedented access to information in a few quick keystrokes. Enter the age of the empowered buyer, one who no longer has to rely on a sales rep to research their challenges or learn more about how a company’s offering might fit their needs. Now, with more than 60 percent of purchasing decisions made in the absence of a sales rep, the role of the rep itself has been called into question.

David Novak learned long ago that you can't lead a great organization of any size without getting your people aligned, enthusiastic, and focused relentlessly on the mission. But how do you do that? There are countless leadership books, but how many will actually help a Taco Bell shift manager, a Fortune 500 CEO, a new entrepreneur, or anyone in between? Over his 15 years at Yum! Brands, Novak has developed a trademarked program he calls Taking People with You.

In Silicon Valley slang, a "bozo explosion" is what causes a lean, mean, fighting machine of a company to slide into mediocrity. As Guy Kawasaki puts it, "If the two most popular words in your company are partner and strategic, and partner has become a verb, and strategic is used to describe decisions and activities that don't make sense"...then it's time for a reality check.

"Years ago, I wrote about a retail store in the Palo Alto environs—a good one, which had a box of two-cent candies at the checkout. I subsequently remember that 'little' parting gesture of the two-cent candy as a symbol of all that is Excellent at that store. Dozens of people who have attended seminars of mine have come up to remind me, sometimes 15 or 20 years later, of “the two-cent candy story,” and to tell me how it had a sizable impact on how they did business."

They actually have vastly different styles and backgrounds. Yet despite their differences, great managers share one common trait: They don’t hesitate to break virtually every rule held sacred by conventional wisdom. They don’t believe that, with enough training, a person can achieve anything he sets his mind to. They don’t try to help people overcome their weaknesses. And, yes, they even play favorites. In this longtime management bestseller, Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its massive in-depth study of great managers.
