Foreword

While the negative aspects of egotism and ambition are all too apparent, it is also true that for a man or woman to function adequately and maturely in society it is necessary to have a certain amount of healthy self-confidence.

The successful businessman, the woman who rises in her chosen profession despite tremendous odds, the serenely happy and efficient housewife-all are imbued with the self-confidence necessary for them to skillfully carry out their chosen tasks. Without it they would find it difficult to do well, and would possibly fail.

When a man or woman lacks self-confidence on a sexual level, it can be apparent in every aspect of their lives. It is often necessary to be sure of one's sexual identity in order to be successful.

Richard Daws is a good-looking man and a good lover, yet he is plagued by a lack of sexual self-confidence. He does not realize his own good looks and sexual prowess. It is only after he takes a job as an insurance salesman and meets many beautiful women who appreciate his assets that he at last begins to come into his own.

THE SALESMAN'S PITCH-a novel about a man struggling to free himself of deep-seated fears and inhibitions, and truly become a fully functioning, independent adult.
