    The item was as described, good price and fast shipping. Unfortunately the post office damaged the package and a piece of the figure was missing. The seller was quick to respond to my email but did not have a replacement available so issued a prompt refund. I would order from this seller again … highly recommend!

    Great Sales Book!

    Frank Bettger really went deep in explaining how he rose from a failure to a successful insurance salesman. Although the book was written in the late 40's, the tips and advice he offered will still work today with the sales professional who applies what he said. Again, great book and it's worth reading twice or more times.
