"Everyone is trying to sell something - literally. "Life is Sales: Change Your Life - Be More Persuasive and Get What You Want" says that we are all walking advertisements - about what we, as humans can do for one another. Confidence is the winning marketing strategy when dealing with others, and Ford & Bird seek to explain teh psychology behind it and how you can use the marketing skills picked up in this book to change one's life. "Life is Sales" is a complex and highly recommended look at selling oneself for a better life."

Your energy and enthusiasm really got them jacked up and engaged.

"Gary this was one of the best presentations I have ever hosted for my realtors. In the audience there were also two owner brokers of my in-house real estate offices and they were so impressed with the content and you the facilitator. After the session I had a line up of folks thanking me for
inviting them to this session. I also received a bcc copy of a response my agent send a client he then emailed me and said and I quote " wow I am good putting what I learned today into practice all ready". "Gary like I said when I sat through your presentation the first time I was extremely taken back by the simple rules of changing only a few words and how different the impact is
on the client. I want to thank you once again for making me look good infront of my
referral sources and hope to see you again soon."

"I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated your presentation last month. Over the years I have been a part of many sales courses and workshops – many of the skills taught are lost as soon as our sales people are in front of a member. Your down to earth presentation style and easy to remember principles has had a lasting impact on our staff. I believe that your book is very helpful in supporting the material you covered – I can tell who amongst our staff has endeavored to read it and who hasn’t...We would really love to have you back."

"Thank you so much for the powerful book you gave me on my latest trip to Canada. I opened the book when I left Montreal yesterday to fly back home, and I just closed it tonight. I could not put it down. Gary Ford and Connie Bird have packed "Life is Sales" with golden nuggets. Multitude of techniques are thought. They are right when they say " Recommend, Suggest and Advise ". This book will separate every readers from their competition. A must read !"
