Tony Hebert

On Sunday, July 20, 1969, man landed on the moon, and on Monday, July 21, 1969, Tony Hebert, at age 15, landed on his first doorstep selling Fuller Brush. He was his best customer that evening: he sold himself that selling was to become his life career. He sold newspapers at age 8 for 35 cents per week and climbed up to the sale of million-dollar CT radiology scanners. He then went on an entrepreneurial quest in 1991, starting three successful companies in pharmaceutical publishing, e-learning and Internet e-commerce. Tony was a trailblazer.

Selling Millions Rai$ing Millions is Tony’s first endeavour at authoring and writing a book. Although he has no formal writing instruction or experience, he did spend thousands of hours writing successful business sales proposals to clients. After knocking on thousands of doors in his lifetime, Tony declares it was all a numbers game. The more doors he approached, the higher the chance of being invited to demonstrate and sell his product or service. Tony was simply a storyteller. The psychology he used to create a sale did not change as he peddled millions of dollars of products and services, and unselfishly raised millions of dollars for his community along the way.

His memoir treats the reader to nuggets of insight about selling, about people and, more importantly, about his community and those people who were responsible for making his life so successful. The account runs from Tony’s early childhood to his late retirement years. It reflects a life well-lived as a door-to-door salesman and community advocate. His memoir is a fascinating mixture of memorable personal experiences at a young age, of corporate and entrepreneurial business ventures and Tony’s charitable pursuits. He addresses the future of selling and the diminishing role of the door-to-door salesperson as well as presenting fresh views on retirement living. Throughout, Tony lends insight into his community and the world of business.
