We recently signed a contract with a new Russian Publisher - Infotropic. My good friend and editor, Holger, in Russia has moved from his former company and started a new company in Russia called Infotropic. His company has agreed to publish four of my books; The Passionate Manager (book 1), The Passionate Agent (book 2), The Passionate Service Recipe Book (book 4) and The Passionate Salesperson (book 6). We look forward to offering these titles in Russian in 2010.

Work is proceeding nicely on my seventh book - The Passionate Sales Manager. This book is partly a revision of The Passionate Manager but is filled with a lot more information, systems, processes and tools to allow the sales manager to more effectively manage salespersons. There is one chapter that should be of great value to the sales manager called OpenAgile©. OpenAgile© is a copy written development system that creates an environment where teams dramatically improve their professionalism, productivity and profitability. Those managers that adopt this methodology will quickly gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. As well, in this book we will help the new manager transition into management. As you can tell I am excited about this new book. We will publish in English, in March 2010.

Professional Sales Plus is heavily promoting OpenAgile(TM) training in 2010. We feel that a new development and management model is drastically needed in the Financial Services industry. Over the past year we have been piloting the methodology in three different companies in 2 different countries. The results have been outstanding and dramatic. If you would like more information, please contact us. We believe this methodology will sweep the industry.

Earlier this year Jim signed a publishing contract with a Lithuanian Publishing company to publish the Passionate Agent or Aistringas Agentas in Lithuanian. This book is proving to be very popular around the world. The Passionate Agent is directed toward the Life insurance professional. This book is now available.

Jim has written 5 other books that are published in 10 languages. He is an international best selling author and has trained over 151,000 managers and agents. For more information and to order his books please go to http://professionalsalesplus.com/Books.
