DOWNLOAD EBOOKSummary:Sales According to Paul is about the ingenious strategies used by Paul of Tarsus, Apostle to Jesus Christ. Paul survived hardships that would've stopped most careers cold, amassed a local following while building a scalable sales process, and then scaled the Christian faith worldwide in an era before the internet and distribution channels. The book is written in two parts designed to mirror the arduous path salespeople take while embarking on a career in sales.Part I: SurvivalEven though it may seem like it at first, few salespeople have ever risked a public stoning for peddling their goods. Nonetheless, only 1 in 10 make it past two years. Against all odds, Paul survived the threat of death, privation, starvation, and public lashings to emerge as the champion for the Christian faith. Paul's trials and tribulations provide a wonderful metaphoric juxtaposition of what a salesperson must overcome to survive in this business. I have provided this framework for my readers.Part II: GrowthThe apostle Paul went through more than one miraculous transformation. The most popular of which is on the road to Damascus, where he encountered the Lord. Less known is Paul's encounter with a master mentor and coach who changed the course of Paul's ministry. After this encounter, Paul returned to his hometown of Tarsus and began a ministry there. With the help of his mentor, he perfected his model in Antioch and prepared it to scale to the rest of the world. Part two of my book is about how Paul followed the great commission established by Jesus by first reaching and selling to the people who knew him best. He perfected his model within his sphere of influence before scaling to the world.This book will demonstrate how the Apostle Paul:--Perfected his craft with little training--Kept his message alive when almost everyone wanted him dead--Had a chance encounter with a master mentor who would change his life--Was able to scale his local model to international success--Scaled the church model in Antioch to the world
