Burdened by an urge to indulge in the use of drugs, Grant learned early that balancing his habits with his day job was the only approach to making the best of his life, but at some point, he began to lose focus. It got so bad that he reached rock bottom despite improved numbers at work. Something had to give, or he would soon be staring death in the eye. Top Of Heart is Grant Muller's incredible story of how a young boy from South Africa overcame early assimilation difficulties and drug addiction while creating a new strategy for hitting sales targets that will increase your bank balance.

Grant Muller takes us on his journey of finding himself, complete with the hiccups from missteps associated with a carefree youth. His struggle with his disease, as he calls it, is not just curious but quite remarkable when juxtaposed with the fact that he was still progressing despite his shortcomings. Top Of Heart puts a human face on an aspect of selling that has long revolted millions of customers. It is the missing link between the successful salesman and his happy clientele that has been ignored for too long. The pictograms are easy to follow, and the conversational examples are spot-on. The best part of Muller's book is how he gets into the reader's mindset, accurately predicting reactions from tiring cold calls and emails of obnoxious sales requests. This shows how much experience he gathered as he created his trend-defining approach. This book is a must-read for everyone in the business of sales.

Top of Heart is Grant Muller’s memoir. While he was successful early on in life, becoming a millionaire before the age of 30, his fortune quickly spiraled downward after he became a drug addict. He reached the point where he had no money, no customers, and no connections. He was also unemployable. At rock bottom, he reminisced, “Lying there ready to die, I had long ago given up any hope of seeing my family again. I said goodbye. I was at peace with moving on to whatever hell was waiting for me.” Yet, from that low point, Muller managed to lift himself from homelessness to working as a real estate agent and earned $1.2 million in sales commission last year. What an incredible story.

It’s not easy for drug addicts to raise themselves above their dire circumstances. Grant Muller managed to do this with flying colors, which is why Top of Heart is such an inspirational book. His memoir is well-written and I loved it. In business, Muller found that the traditional top-of-mind strategies were not enough. A new, more human approach was necessary and he came up with a personal philosophy, which is simply brilliant. For those who are looking for a real-life inspirational story and those looking for a new humane way to conduct business, this is a recommended read.
