I believe in doing BIG THINGS! You should be earning 6 figures easily as a sales rep. But chances are you are not...yet!

Today I interview the world's best sales experts, successful sellers, sales leaders and entrepreneurs who share their strategies to succeed in sales right now: folks like Jeffrey Gitomer, Jill Konrath, Bob Burg, and Guy Kawasaki to name a few.
