“Author Paula Pagano shares so much in this book. Paula writes from the heart sharing very personal experiences in a most intimate way. You feel as if you are right there with her. The book flows very well and is hard to put down. ‘Secrets’ gives very specific instructions on successful salesmanship and how to deal with clients, both good and bad. In addition to the real estate sales lessons and what surprised me most, was the inspirational way in which Paula writes. She shares her life in this book. I would recommend this book to salespeople and non-salespeople equally to increase their success. The life lessons shared in this book alone are worth the read.”
– Jean Romeo, Entrepreneur Phoenix Arizona

“I loved reading Paula’s book. Easy to read and full of great stories you can relate and learn from. I found out about this book when I saw Paula give a talk as a guest speaker. I loved the way she carried & expressed herself. The book is written as an honest story about her life, evolution & mind shift she had to make from being a scientist to become a top successful Real Estate Agent. Smart woman, that’s for sure. I am also a Realtor in the San Francisco Bay Area (East Bay) and I don’t know Paula but I do admire her from a far. She is a rock-star in my mind. I recommend every real estate agent & sales professional read this book.”
