Acknowledgments

Each and every one of us wants to increase sales and revenue for our associated business. In our journey toward optimum sales results, we frequently find that reaching our goals is a team effort. We rely on others to provide quality products for us to sell, enhanced by attractive marketing materials and superior customer support.

Similarly, the writing of this book was also a group effort. This book was truly created by a dedicated team that spent countless hours writing, revising, and updating. It could not have been created alone.

We'd like to acknowledge each and every author who contributed to this book—in fact, there would be no book without the inspiring wisdom and words of each of our contributing authors.

In addition to all of the contributors to the book, we would like to thank all of the amazing individuals at John Wiley & Sons, Inc., who enthusiastically brought this project to life, including Matt Holt, Shannon Vargo, Beth Zipko, and Lauren Freestone.

Thanks to our agent, John Willig, who is the real "Jerry Maguire."

Finally, heartfelt thanks to our friends and family, who have provided much-needed support, encouragement, and patience throughout the process. A special thanks to our wives, Michelle and Clare, who are a continual source of motivation for everything that we do.
