About the Book

That Day You Ghosted Me: 10 Rules to Becoming an Effective Salesperson is the remarkable story of a very talented elementary teacher with a stable life who discovered that there was more for her outside of her comfort zone. She embarked on a journey where she was forced to learn about sales, customer service, objections, chasing giant goals, emotional intelligence, and life’s passion. Within that learning process, she experienced the “ghosting zone,” but was able to crack the code. There came a day when someone ghosted her, and that became part of her journey as she was able to achieve an extraordinary life full of surprises, challenges, candor, and an infinite ability to help others in ways she never imagined. All these adventures would have never been possible if she had not had the courage to pursue her intuitions and callings. This is the story of a regular lady who one day decided to become extraordinary, and hers is a life that anyone could emulate who decides to pursue their dreams.
