Recently I met Dave Curry who had worked with Zig Ziglar. After he read the manuscript, I was pleased to see that he gave the book a very strong endorsement. I asked if I could use it on the back cover of my book and he graciously said "Yes." It is as follows: "If you could read only one book on selling, this is the one you should choose! I have been in the world of selling for over 40 years. I had the privilege and pleasure of working with Zig Ziglar for 10 years and was his number one salesman in the world. I also was the number one salesman in the world for a selling franchise company that was in 65 countries and 35 cities in the United States. I have conducted over 3,500 seminars on management, leadership, and sales training and have trained thousands of people. I just completed reading "Hoot's Wisdom Nuggets to Help You Become a Super Salesman." If I was just starting a sales career myself, hiring a new salesperson, or even a seasoned veteran, I would highly recommend reading this book. Hoot has put together one of the best "How To" books on what you need to do from day one to become a superstar in the greatest profession of all, the wonderful world of selling. I would highly recommend that no matter where you are in your sales career that you read this book. With all my experience over these years and reading everything on sales I could, I would rank this as one of the best."
