Gretchen Gordon, a self-proclaimed sales nerd, is far from your ordinary sales expert. After a disastrous Girl Scout cookie selling experience and a P&G sales gig that left her questioning her career choice in sales, Gretchen decided to face her fears head-on. With a lot of grit and determination, she transformed herself into an award-winning salesperson and was soon promoted to sales manager. Initially proud, she quickly became frustrated and overwhelmed as she felt ill-equipped to perform as manager. Fortunately, she channeled her inner sales nerd to learn the secrets to successful sales management.Now, after 40 years in and around sales, having studied the science associated with success, and after helping hundreds of sales managers grow out of their frustration and stress, Gretchen's determined to create an army of happy sales managers. She wrote The Happy Sales Manager to make it easier for the many people who find themselves leading a sales team but feel overwhelmed and under qualified as she once did.Gretchen leads a team of sales experts at her company, Braveheart Sales, with a mission to save the world one sales team at a time. A sought-after keynote speaker, she focuses on the skillset and mindset of sales and sales leadership. When she's not changing the sales world, Gretchen is an avid competitive golfer, wife, proud mother of grown children, and fur-mom to two Shih-Tzus.
