Dancing in the Cave of the Dragon: Adventures in the Wonderland of Sales

Dancing in the Cave of the Dragon: Adventures in the Wonderland of Sales is Richard Plinke's third installment in his critically acclaimed dragon series and continues the journey of our intrepid slayer of sales dysphoria. Plinke uses his entertaining storytelling style to illustrate his distinctive perspective on the art of selling; or, more accurately, the art of living in a world of other opposable-digited hominids. As one critic put it, he is "funny, educational and a great read. Plinke doesn't just teach you to be a better salesperson, or a better businessperson, he teaches you to be a better person."

If you're looking for the seven steps to nirvana-esque prosperity, or any other formula-based concoction of simplistic remedies for what keeps you from achieving the success you covet, Plinke's not your guy. On the other hand, if you'd like to break the shackles of self-imposed limitations and discover the truth about what's holding you back, if you want to face and conquer the dragons of fear-based-selling (and fear-based-living), then you might want to tiptoe through the tulips with our fearless debunker of all that's sophistic; sing in the sunshine with the courageous executioner of the ubiquitous purveyors of serpent lubricant; skip to my lou, my darling on the way to a better sense of self and a better appreciation for what you do to earn your daily bread.

Simply put, Plinke's bare-to-the bone approach is a joyful journey brimming with delightful tales stuffed with unique insights and filled with the author's humorously satirical point of view. Everybody in all walks of life would benefit from Plinke's idiosyncratic wisdom, or as a top 50 Amazon reviewer put it, "If the world lived by Plinke's guidance, we'd all be quite a bit happier. And get along a whole lot better as well."
