    About the Guest: Carson entered the sales arena at age 22 and has found success at every level, from top-flight sales representative to a division leader over 200+ people. His devotion to the sales game occupied much of his time, but his desire to write never left his mind. Once Carson realized his great aptitude in the game of sales, he decided to write his first novel – “Birth of a Salesman” – which told the story of a young man who came into prominence in the sales arena and doubled as a self-help sales advice manual to guide anyone to the level of success he achieved. 

    He is a profound public speaker, superior corporate leader and, in addition to having letters featured in prominent magazines and local newspapers, he wrote his own bi-weekly column for his department. Carson lives in St. Louis, MO, with his 2-year old daughter.
