During economic contractions, it becomes much more difficult to sell your products, maintain your customer base, and gain market share. Mistakes become more costly, and failure becomes a real possibility for all those who are not able to make the transition.

If You’re Not First, You’re Last is about how to sell your products and services―despite the economy―and provides the reader with ways to capitalize regardless of their product, service, or idea. Grant shares his proven strategies that will allow you to not just continue to sell, but create new products, increase margins, gain market share and much more. Key concepts in If You’re Not First, You’re Last include:

• Converting the Unsold to Sold
• The Power Schedule to Maximize Sales
• Your Freedom Financial Plan
• The Unreasonable Selling Attitude
