Description

In Top Performer, you'll meet Jim, a disciplined but uninspired sales manager. In London on vacation -- his first in years -- he meets Top Hat. In an engrossing conversation, Top Hat tells him about a legendary Dublin busker/street performer called the Rat Catcher, who engages his audience and effortlessly charms them into parting easily with their change. Top Hat then gives Jim an envelope to bring to the Rat Catcher as a form of introduction. Jim is incredulous, and even a bit suspicious, but after a trip back home, he's willing to do anything to break out of his rut of good-to-average sales and dogged but unfulfilling perseverance. Full of action-packed and sometimes hilarious description of the adventures of a street performer, this engaging audiobook will appeal to anyone in any position -- and in any field, from banking to baking to busking. In the tradition of the bestselling Fish! series this is a deceptively simple story that contains profound advice -- advice that will help make readers into Top Performers themselves.

Reviews

AudioFile Magazine...
The co-author of an employee motivational book (FISH!) and a street performer/consultant offer a wake-up lesson on keeping one's energy high in a sales or service job. The parable involves a London street performer's advice to a visiting stateside salesperson whose enthusiasm for his work has tanked. The salesman is drawn to the performer's entrepreneurial spirit, boundless energy, and crafty strategies for energizing and serving his audiences. The timeless convention of a sincere and hardworking performer drawing people into his circle works well to illustrate what's missing in sales today. Carr Hagerman keeps the story going with his own energy, enthusiasm for the message, and consummate skill in handling the American and British sides of the dialogue. T.W.
