With a passion to empower and educate, Hurtte presents "The New Sales Guy Project" as an indispensable resource for those embarking on a sales career in knowledge-based distributor industries such as Electrical, Industrial, Automation, Fluid Power, Safety, and Power Transmission.
Drawing from Hurtte's extensive 45-year career in the realm of Knowledge-based Distributors and over four years of hands-on research including countless one-on-one sessions with over 200 new distributor salespeople, "The New Sales Guy Project" breaks away from traditional sales rhetoric to provide valuable insights into the changing landscape of sales. This is not your typical sales book featuring gimmicks and tricks.
The book was inspired by Frank Hurtte's vast experience in sales and mentoring new salespeople for over 30 years.

According to Hurtte, “Selling has always been challenging, but launching a new territory is ten times more difficult today than just a decade ago. Old methods simply don’t work.”
“This book is a must-read for new salesmen and managers of new salespeople. It was full of insight and practical suggestions to make the transition from whatever other career into the exciting world of sales. I heartily endorse it and found the insightful ideas rich and written in Warm folksy style,” says Bob Estabrook, a renowned sales expert in the field.

Each chapter ends with a set of real-world exercises designed to further steer the new seller’s future action. These exercises are designed to serve the self-guided reader as well as their sales manager coach.
