In her first book, Confessions of a Sales Professional, award-winning sales professional turned trainer Rebecca Kilday provides an honest, entertaining view of the pitfalls and challenges of building a lasting career in the famously cutthroat field of professional selling.

Frustrated by the quality and inauthenticity of the sales training and advice she received in her career, Ms. Kilday shares engaging (often embarrassing) stories of professional loss and growth, and introduces her innovative eight-step sales framework guaranteed to reignite any stale sales career.

Confessions brings the reader alongside Ms. Kilday as she navigates the ups and downs of her sales career. In this charming take on a professional development book, Ms. Kilday provides candid insights to relevant sales challenges like dealing with rejection and building professional resilience. She introduces the reader to the sales framework she created, Sell INSPIRED, and shares how each step propels the sales journey forward while building meaningful connections with prospects and customers alike.

“I wanted to write the book I needed years ago when I started my sales career,” Ms. Kilday said. “I needed a step-by-step sales guide, and I also needed reassurance that I wasn’t alone in my struggles to figure it out. With Confessions of a Sales Professional, I’m providing a resource and inspiration for sales professionals at any stage of their careers, and I’m proud of the impact it will have.”

Confessions of a Sales Professional is 168 pages and is available in print, e-book and audiobook at Barnes and Noble and wherever you like to buy books. Along with her book, Ms. Kilday launched her Chattanooga-based sales training and professional development business, Sell INSPIRED, where she offers training for sales teams, on-boarding training services, and corporate keynote presentations.
