Testimonies
"
Ray Kelly hits a home run with The Hourglass Principle! He gives an insightful outlook to clear, smart principles of selling successfully in a God-honoring way.”
Joe Champion - Senior Pastor, Celebration Church, Georgetown, TX.
"Thank you for your book, which included so many principles I
believe in and practical stories and suggestions for sales
leaders. As you said in the conclusion, the book and the
principles included are for life and not just sales.
From time to time, I get asked about books in this area and may point to your book. Thanks for the good read!"
David "Skip" Prichard - President and CEO, Ingram Content Group, Inc. (Ingram Books)
"Ray Kelly shares a message that many corporations fail to heed - corporate responsibilty. Companies are great at making a buck, but fail too often in actually listening , and then, caring about what the customer actually needs. This book reinforced what I must do as a professional, and as a neighbor. This is a must-read for everyone, not just those in sales. Ray Kelly does a great job in showing how God's principles are still the best, yes, even in business. I love this book, and thank you Ray for the message. May God continue to work through you! "
Florian Steciuch, CMPS - Certified Mortgage Planner at Benchmark Mortgage
"Managing the middle is a concept who's time is now. We used to hear about "business ethics". This book, gently using scripture, shows you how there is no such thing as business ethics, only your own ethics & moral compass. Ray Kelly's book "The Hourglass Principle" tells you not how to stick with your morals but WHY to stick with your morals and be honest in all you do."
Debbie Ruiz, Owner, Consider It Done, www.cidevents.com

" The Hour Glass Principal establishes a basic principal, one that I learned in the military and law school, you need to manage the expectations of those you are selling to. This includes your managers/superiors, clients and subordinates.
Kelly’s basic theory is that in order to do this successfully there are key elements respect, integrity, focus and effort. Ray has combined the Judeo-Christian principal of integrity and help into a winning formula for success...read the full review"
