Ebook Edition

This book is dedicated to my father, Curtis Cardone Sr., who truly loved people and who was greatly respected by both his family and his community. My father had great admiration for salespeople and the sales industry, and he was a firm believer that selling was a prerequisite to a person creating success in any area of life.

Since writing my first book, Sell to Survive, which was self-published, I have written three other books: The Closers Survival Guide, If Youre Not First, Youre Last (New York Times bestseller), and The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure, which I used to land a TV show.

As I wrote these books, I learned a great deal about what people could actually use, what was working, and, because of the input from people reading my books, I learned what they needed help with.

Sell to Survive has never been sold in a bookstore, yet it reached the top 1 percent of all self-published books by word of mouth alone. I have personally received comments and questions from thousands of people because of this book. As many of these readers have stated, this book turned their sales careers around completely. Others who did not consider themselves in sales suggested that this book allowed them to see where they had been missing it in their career with their goals to expand their businesses.

I believe Sell to Survive to be the most important book written on selling in the last fifty years and vital to every person who is interested in making their dreams a reality. We have taken that book and reworked it, added material, updated it, and retitled it: Sell or Be Sold: How to Get Your Way in Business and in Life.

Enjoy,
Grant Cardone
