Cuando Frank Pacetta aceptó el puesto de gerente de la oficina de Xerox en Cleveland, este distrito era prácticamente una zona catastrófica para la compañía, una de las delegaciones menos rentables de los Estados Unidos. En el plazo de un año, sin embargo, Pacetta llevo a Cleveland al primer lugar de la region y al cuarto del pais. Teniendo en cuenta la existencia, en este contexto, de sesenta y cinco distritos de ventas, todo esto no puede considerarse, ni mucho menos, una simple casualidad. Y la confirmacion es que Pacetta abandono seguidamente Cleveland para trasladarse al distrito de Columbia, donde acabo repitiendo la operacion. A partir de esta experiencia, No los despida, motivelos enseña al lector a crear el mejor equipo de ventas con el que haya podido soñar: lleno de confianza, lealtad, entusiasmo y emocion; dispuesto a construir y reconstruir una y otra vez la empresa, a guiarla sabiamente y a transmitirle energia dia a dia, a llevarla a la cima del mundo y a mantenerla alli año tras año. Se trata, asi, de un libro lleno de consejos practicos de probada eficacia acerca del liderazgo y la gerencia, en una amplia gama que va desde la motivacion y la comunicacion hasta todos y cada uno de los secretos de una venta eficaz, desde los sintomas que indican que se avecinan problemas hasta los empleados que llegan tarde y se van temprano, etc. De esta manera, y a partir de los famosos Diez Consejos que Pacetta publico en el Wall Street Journal y que ahora ya presiden las oficinas de todo el pais, la obra no solo transmite un acerado sentido de la realidad empresarial de hoy en dia, sino que tambien acaba convirtiendose en una historia acerca de como prosperar en el mundo de los negocios motivando a los empleados del modo mas positivo posible animandolos constantemente y dandoles la capacidad y la responsabilidad necesarias para que tambien ellos se conviertan en ganadores.
