About the Book

There is nothing more exciting, or more dangerous, than a sales professional who can attack the game of selling with the strategic mind of a golfer. Gaurav Kumar—the Founder and CEO of Beyond Codes, Inc., a global leader in Sales and Lead Generation—lays down 18 powerful connections that can enhance your sales game, as well as your golf game.

If you are a sales professional who plays golf, then this book is for you. If you are a sales professional who does not play golf, then prepare to be amazed by the 18 principles laid within these pages. But beware, chances are, you will start playing golf too.

Once you connect golf and sales in your mind, a switch is flipped and something powerful happens! You will open the floodgates between your golf skills and your sales skills. Your brain will begin firing in new patterns, as you draw parallels between the two. Things that you may have struggled with before would now appear clearer because you are tapping into your talents and skills from another area.

No matter how long you have been in sales, there will be new learning here. You will feel that while others are searching for their next big “sales secret,” you already have the answers you are seeking. The answers are locked in a different part of your mind, waiting to be unleashed. And the benefits flow both ways! Do not be surprised if your game of golf improves too.

Considered by many to be the best sales book of 2022, this book is broken into 18 easy-to-digest chapters, one for each hole on the course.
At the end of each chapter is an exercise that is filled with insights that will amaze even the savviest sales professional and help them up their game.
