James Hamer’s book is a cornucopia of wisdom for those who are considering a career in sales. It highlights, by way of various anecdotes and quotes, how to become a star performer instead of an ‘also-ran’. I was delighted to be asked to contribute to the publication which will undoubtedly become a “bible” for all sales novices.

A book like this, with actionable advice, is a must-have when you're in sales. This book gives us a sneak peek into the world of sales; it's a powerful book with real-life advice and examples from sales leaders around the world. I especially like the openness and the storytelling skill of all the interviewees

Many of the nuggets in this book are familiar. Others are new; we never know all the answers – however being reminded that sales is service, that today we need to be agile, and that we won't always get it right is priceless. In these uncertain times delivering results alongside others is paramount, and the need for reverting back to processes that work, along with being in tune with the 'why', really hits home

Read The Exceptional Sales Career and you’ll find practical, seasoned wisdom from sales veterans who come from across the business spectrum. The strength of this book is that the author has painstakingly sorted through hundreds of hours of interviews he conducted with topflight sales professionals and arranged it into 100 subjects that salespeople will most certainly face in their careers. Its content is rich, so my advice would be to “drip read” pieces of it each day and then put them into practice. Undoubtedly, consuming and acting on these principles and practices will lead to a sales career well-lived.
