Bill, how would you like to make more money in a month selling Willys Jeeps than I bet you make in a year of cowboying? In his fifth memoir, award-winning author William L. McGee shares the story behind his transition from Levis and boots to Brooks Brothers suits.

As the saying goes, life happens when you’re making other plans.

Written in his signature spare and straightforward style, McGee shares the discovery of his talent for sales and deal-making, and the early lessons he learned to be a success in sales in the business world.

How I Learned to Sell and Make Deals focuses on the author’s eight-year career as an importer of wire and steel products in the world trade business.
