One of the most passionate and inspirational people you'll ever meet, David Shirey is a tremendously accomplished leader with a successful track record in national sales management, team building, introducing new products to market, and media relations; while dealing in extremely competitive & technical markets. A true hands-on executive who speaks across America while consulting companies on growth strategies and coaching executives to higher performance. David has a proven history of immediate and dramatic impact - utilizing a genuine, upbeat, and infectious leadership style. David spent over five years directing all sales activities for the largest of Lamar Advertising's 165 markets while spending time each week leading confidence building & sales training sessions. David's team exceeded company set budgets 20 out of his last 21 months in this role during one of the worst economies in modern American history. Producing $32M of revenue in 2010, which was 16% over their $27M budget, David's motto was "We've decided not to participate in this recession!" Spending the early part of the last decade as the Director of Sports Sales for IRIS Technologies' Landro Play Analyzer Division, David led all sales & business development activities of this extraordinary technology to the sports world. David's group increased sales over 250% three straight years while he was front and center with the media touting this incredible coaching tool.

Did not put the book down until I finished it. Author takes away a lot of the excuses of why you can't do something and highlights experts in the field of sports and the countless failures they had to become great. A definite read.

Rare Confidence is a unique look into how to be successful in life. David Shirey gives unique perspective on the little but important things that should be important to every business person. Whether you are in sales or not, everyone needs confidence and this book is a roadmap on how we all should view the world. It's a great, simple read that will give you a new way to look at everyday situations. I have already read this book twice and have purchased copies for my entire team. Looking forward to Rare Confidence 2!!

I have completed David Shirey's "Rare Confidence" and it may be the best of them all. As a professional in the marketing industry for many years, I have read most of the books for self-improving salespeople - both in and out of the corporate scene. Most of them are repetitive, impersonal and eventually arcane. This one had me from the title page. It speaks to everyone, covers all the bases, is highly organized, yet at the same time is friendly and speaks right to you. Totally user-friendly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book!
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2011
Just finished reading Rare Confidence...loved it! Not only did it give me simple and concrete things I can do right now to take my confidence to another level but it also had me cracking up throughout. So many books give abstract ideas and concepts that you can't actually use - not this book. Everything in it is down to earth, easy to understand, and actionable. I'm thinking about buying a few extras as stocking stuffers - we can all use a little extra confidence. Highly recommended!
