For any people involved in a commercial activity it is critical that you take the chance to read Guy Anastaze’s book. Thanks to his uncommon and demanding path, Guy has managed to re-discover the beauty of a very old job: making sure that demand and offer meet in the most positive, rewarding and uplifting experience for both.

Through this book, Guy Anastaze brings together his experience in areas as diverse as human psychology and sales methodologies in a personal approach that is open to everyone, but places, above all, the human being at the center. While it is a reader that will open this book, it will be a seller who will turn the last page.

As manager of the logistics center at a major banking group, I often have the opportunity to meet salespeople who have yet to read Guy Anastaze’s book. This book is a prerequisite for all salespeople looking for tools and methods that will enable them to improve, and increase the value they bring to their clients.

Jean Claude Favre, Head of Crédit Agricole Private Banking Services, Switzerland

This book is about the positive psychology of selling and imaginatively integrates scientific foundations with a hands-on approach. Given the importance of selling in our everyday life, this is a must for every professional, whether officially in the sales force or not.

Dr. Ilona Boniwell, CEO, Positran

Authentic Selling may be aimed at young salespeople, yet this rich collection of life experiences can speak to the hearts of us all. Sincere and generous, Guy provides us with a user’s guide to success, happiness and serenity. I thank him for highlighting the Enneagram as a powerful tool for personal development.

Marie-Claire Fagioli, Coaching and Enneagram teacher, owner of Moncoach. Switzerland

Authentic Selling may be primarily addressed to salespeople interested in or in need of boosting their sales performance, but it will also certainly appeal to any professional interested in personal development and a balanced and coherent way of life, leading to the optimization of one’s own potential.
