How to Master the Art of Selling

"The First Book of LifeSkills" was Larry's first book. It was adapted from his popular seminar, "Networking: Making the Right Connections." Larry James is an example of what he speaks and writes about. On June 4, 1985, he founded "The Tulsa Business Connection" considered by many to be one of the most successful business networking groups in Oklahoma. While living in Tulsa he assisted in the development of 9 other networking groups. Larry has been called "America's Guru of Networking!"

Larry began selling Grit Newspapers when he was 10 years old. During his selling career, he has been a sales associate, sales manager, sales trainer, consultant and coach to thousands of people.

"Larry James has charted a terrific guide for personal and professional excellence. Easy to read and simple to apply, any of us can find great value in the wisdom of his work."

Chapter V. . . Be Yourself!

Demonstrate your own authenticity. Be unto others as you would have them be unto you.

Be yourself! Integrity is the issue here. Shakespeare said, "To thine own self be true." Stop pretending! Quit being a phoney! Be real. People like to be around people who are real.

People who are being themselves are truly comfortable with themselves, have a healthy self image and are less concerned about what people think of them than most other people. They enjoy living life like an adventure! Being yourself demonstrates self-confidence.
