Joe Girard's life sounds like something out of a story. He grew up in one of the most deplorable ghettos in Detroit but worked his way up to become the greatest car salesman in the world. That's no lie because Joe says his most important quality is that he never lies.

He got to where he is by developing trust, and he says we can do it, too. He's written three books, "How to Sell Yourself," "How to Sell Anything to Anybody" and "How to Close Every Sale." All three deal with learning to never be satisfied and to always go back for more.

Joe is in the Guinness Book of World Records. During his 15-year selling career, he sold 13,001 new cars and trucks -- a feat still unmatched by any other individual. He himself sold more cars than many dealerships. He says it's because what he was really selling was Joe Girard.
