The Book of Excellence was my first book that was published in 1990. Since then, it has sold more than 250,000 copies and has been published in nine languages. Its success far exceeded my expectations, as my goal was to simply share proven, common sense habits of successful sales professionals. Over the past forty years, I have participated in some of the best training available to the sales and marketing profession. Quite frankly, 90 percent of it is fluff. My experience is that less than 10 percent of all sales training programs are implemented to the extent that they produce increased sales and profits. The Book of Excellence is what I have learned from observing the top performers in many fields. This not only includes conventional sales professionals, but also bankers, accountants, lawyers, doctors, stock brokers, military leaders, and collegiate coaches and administrators. I believe passionately that these women and men have achieved their success by keeping it simple and by developing positive habits. Here is what I have learned about the habits that bring success in this profession I love so much. Byrd Baggett

The Past Doesn''t Have a Future, But You Do is written for anyone who searches for hope, anyone who has failed and needs the encouragement to get up and try again, anyone who has ever felt abandoned by ""friends,"" anyone who feels all alone, anyone who has a vision for the future and needs something to keep himself focused, anyone who needs a spark to rekindle the spirit within, anyone who searches for the potential hidden within and for something and someone to believe in. In short, it is a challenge for all of us to take responsibility for our own futures.""
