Bob Burg’s Introduction
For over 30 years Bob Burg has been successfully showing entrepreneurs, leaders, and sales professionals how to communicate their value and accelerate their referral business.
Although for years he was best known for his sales classic, Endless Referrals, it’s his business parable, The Go-Giver, coauthored with John David Mann that has created a worldwide movement.
While part of a four-book series, The Go-Giver itself has sold more than one million copies and been translated into 30 languages. It was rated #10 on Inc. Magazine’s list of The Most Motivational Books Ever Written, and was on HubSpot’s 20 Most Highly Rated Sales Books of All Time.
Bob is an advocate, supporter and defender of the Free Enterprise system, believing that the amount of money one makes is directly proportional to how many people they serve.
He is also an unapologetic animal fanatic and served on the Board of Directors of Furry Friends Adoption & Clinic in his town of Jupiter, Florida.
John David Mann’s Introduction
Is there a difference between taking leadership and giving leadership? And, if so, does it really make that big a difference in your ability to lead?
Our guest says “yes” to both!
John David Mann has been writing about business, leadership, and the laws of success for more than thirty years. As a high school student, he led a group of friends in creating their own successful high school. After establishing himself as a concert cellist and prizewinning composer, he built a multimillion-dollar sales organization of more than a hundred thousand people before turning to writing and publishing.
In addition to coauthoring the Go-Giver books with Bob Burg, John is also coauthor of the New York Times bestsellers Flash Foresight (with Daniel Burrus) and the Navy SEAL memoir The Red Circle (with Brandon Webb), as well as the national bestseller Among Heroes (also with Brandon Webb). His Take the Lead (with former White House insider Betsy Myers) was named by Tom Peters and the Washington Post as Best Leadership Book of 2011.
