It’s Gage’s follow up to the international bestseller, [i]Direct Selling Success,[/i] and it’s a handbook for leaders.

No one knows how to lead teams better than author Randy Gage, a former high school dropout who rose to become a self-made multi-millionaire and inspire millions around the world. In this highly anticipated book, Randy teaches you how to hold your team together in the mostdifficult circumstances —the stuff no one likes to talk about, but that is vital for top-level leaders. It takes much more than a positive attitude and motivational words to be a successful field leader. True leadership requires you to deal with messy, complicated scenarios when there is not always a clear-cut solution. Many of these challenges are caused by factors completely out of your control—from economic, regulatory, and political setbacks, to having top leaders quit, to companies going out of business, and a host of other issues. It’s at times like these, when it seems like your team is falling apart, that you must draw upon your resilience, persistence, and character to ride out the storm and lead your team through the chaos. This indispensable resource will enable you to: Create a team culture of maximum readiness Deal with toxic leaders and effectively handle conflict resolution Use your leadership to make your team more powerful and build their self-esteem Handle corporate incompetence, poor decisions, and PR crises Know what to do when you or a team leader leave a company Most leadership books will tell you, wrongly, that every situation has an ideal solution. Not this one.[i] Defcon 1 Direct Selling: Manual for Field Leaders[/i] delivers the plain, unadulterated truth that everyone leading a direct sales team needs to know.
