My Favorite Book:

Ninja Selling book by Larry Kendall influenced me in several ways. The book helped me to develop mindset that prioritizes building relationships and adding values to my clients' lives over simply closing deals which helped me to have a sustainable business based on referrals.

Furthermore, this book helped me to emphasize the importance of integrity, authenticity, and a focus on clients needs.
