Praise for Sales BURST!!
‘Sales BURST!! is an entertaining, clever, and
out-of-the-box approach to selling. I recommend reading this book
to anyone involved in selling today.’
–Peter Handal, CEO, Dale Carnegie & Associates, Inc.
‘Every salesperson wants to get up to speed as fast as they
can-but not as fast as their manager wants them to.
Sales BURST!! helps every salesperson shift into fifth gear
without skipping first, second, third, or fourth. This makes three
people happy:the manager, the salesperson, and the salesperson’s
banker.’
–Jeffrey Gitomer, author of Little Red Book of
Selling
‘This is a great book that shows you how to make more sales,
faster and easier than you ever thought possible.’
–Brian Tracy, author of The Psychology of Selling
‘Learn from Evans and Sales BURST!! how passion,
determination, and an intelligence-based sales effort can make you
successful.’
–John Calamos, CEO, Calamos Investments
‘I have utilized Evans’s sales methods to successfully manage my
sales accounts, my sales team, and my career for seventeen years. I
look forward to using Sales BURST!! to train my salespeople
firsthand.’
–Joel Leetzow, Executive Vice President, North America and
board member, Scancode
‘Sales BURST!! is filled with Evans’s success stories that
will both inspire you and provide helpful hints to help you meet
your own quota.’
–Susan Bulkeley Butler, CEO, SBB Institute for the
Development of Women Leaders and first woman partner at
Accenture
‘Evans completely exceeded my expectations. Not only did his
presentation provide tremendous insights on sales but even greater
life lessons.’
–Rick E. Ridnour, Ph D, Department of Marketing, Northern
Illinois University

those goals so you win.’
