Synopsis
Magical, witty, and unique, the novel is a trip back to the seventies and an amazing roller coaster read! Highly recommended.
–Stephen Spignesi, New York Times bestselling author
The novel’s sheer narrative energy carries the day. A multilayered and consistently engaging rags-to-riches story. -Kirkus Review
By all accounts, Scott Newman had made it and was living the American Dream, until the FBI raided his office. In a salesman’s world, he knew how to get ahead and that’s just what he did. Determined to have more than what his blue-collar father ever dreamed of, Newman spent his days making more money than any of his competitors thought possible and nights jumping in and out of those same competitors’ dumpsters in an attempt to find new clients ready for their palms to be greased.
Shreds to Riches documents one man’s climb to the top starting as a $250 a week jewelry salesman only to become the “Benjamin King” and the most successful closer in the lightbulb telemarketing business. A “roller coaster ride of nail-biting twists and turns,” this is a hilarious and quintessential story of American white-collar crime – and it’s nearly all true.
About the Authors
David Fisher is a first time author with four decades of hands-on experience in the sales industry. He has published numerous sales training articles. The subject matter for this comical peek he provides into the dark side of this ethically challenged telemarketing industry comes from hours of one-on-one interviews with a close family acquaintance who made this his career. His detailed, true life experiences were the foundation for this wonderfully fascinating, compelling read you won’t be able to put down.
