How I Learned To Sell and Make Deals, 1950-1958: Memoir of a Merchant Man

"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 begins by recounting the transformative event in 1950 that changed his life...an event that took the Montana cowboy from managing an exclusive Nevada dude ranch for divorce seekers to a successful eight-year career in the world trade business. Or as McGee likes to say...an unplanned 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 early lessons he learned to be successful in sales, deal-making, and entrepreneurship...lessons he never forgot in his 8-year career as an executive in the competitive world trade business followed by his 32-year career in the entertainment business.William L. McGee's writing career has spanned six decades. He has written 22 nonfiction books, 9 with his co-author/wife Sandra V. McGee. Other memoirs by William L.
