"I pray that those who have an ear to hear, eyes to see and the desire to capture wisdom that only God has imparted to Mark Stevens, to pick up a copy of God Is a Salesman.  I am reminded of the scripture, "many are called but few are chosen" (Matthew 22:14), many will see the unveiling of this message but only few will pick up wisdom.  Networking and selling with the right intent, creates a long lasting relationship opposed to only a quick sell.  Mark's obedience to empower the business world with the truth about selling and how it lines up with not only the principles of the bible but God's desire for our business behavior, is truly a leap of faith!  I commend your obedience and confidence in doing so."
-Regina Baker, Evangelist

And even if you don't have direct customer contact you could still learn a thing or two about what it means to understand the people who actually use/buy your company's product/service."

"In God is a Salesman, author Mark Stevens aptly points out that we are all selling something - whether a doctor, mechanic, stay at home mom, or car salesperson - we all sell ideas, dreams and ideals. Regardless of what role we occupy, God, The Master Salesman can teach us how to influence and educate others by building real relationships with them. Mr. Stevens illustrates how the attributes and characteristics of our God (and how He engages in relationship with His Children) can be used as THE example for authenticity. This book will resonate with the Believer as much as it will the entrepreneur. The insights contained within its pages are fresh, practical, and wise."
