OH SH*T, I’m in Sales? An Entrepreneur’s Guide to Making Sales Your BFF by Susan Trumpler, solves a problem that is very easy to understand. Women entrepreneurs do not go into business because they have been dreaming of being a sales professional, right? They go into business because they are passionate about helping people and have amazing products or programs they want to put out into the world. But the problem is that if they don’t make friends with sales, they won’t have a business. End. Of. Story.

She believes it’s simple! Based on their life experiences, what they have seen and heard, they have a very specific perspective of what it means to be “sold” to. And they don’t like it.

But Susan believes it doesn’t have to be that way. In her book, OH SH*T, I’m in Sales?: An Entrepreneur’s Guide to Making Sales Your BFF, Susan takes the reader on a journey from dreading the thought of sales, to making it their newest BFF.
