“Life Is Sales is a revelation. It beautifully illustrates an entrepreneurial journey, full of internal and external lessons that any businessperson will learn from. Rich exemplifies how entrepreneurship and sales are about relationships and service. Many entrepreneurs get it backward and put growth first—but serve and do the right thing, and scale will come. We can all use our gifts maximally to serve the world, with a little awareness, self-discovery, and purpose.”
