They will learn how to: - Outsell by getting appointments with people who absolutely, positively do not want to see you, and then making them glad they said "yes!" - Outmanage by arming yourself with information on prospects, customers, and competitors that the CIA would envy - using a system called the "Mackay 66." - Outmotivate by using his insights to help yourself or your kids join the ranks of Amercia's one million millionaires. - Outnegotiate by knowing when to "smile and say no" and when to "send in the clones."
