Robert "Bob" DeGroot, MEd, DCH, is the founder and president of Sales Training International. He is an author, counselor, consultant, sales professional, and trainer with more than thirty years of experience in sales, training, and psychology. After completing his military service in the US Coast Guard, he attended college where he earned a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Master of Education in School Psychology from Texas State University. Later in life, he earned a Doctorate in Clinical Hypnotherapy from the American Institute of Hypnotherapy. He's had rewarding careers in both the mental health sciences and in sales. The magic in sales happened for Bob when he discovered the psychology that made sales techniques work successfully in some situations but not in others. His studies in human motivation, buying behavior, and persuasion led him to develop a different perspective that is evident in this latest book. Bob is the author of Psychology for Successful Selling (Branden Publishing Company, 1988), and Trance Formed Body (Doctor Hypnosis, 2015). Additionally, he's written and developed more than seventy training courses, fifty web-based training courses, and forty plus e-books in the professions of psychology, sales, sales management, and customer service.
