RAIN is the first business parable written by bestselling business
book author Jeffrey J. Fox. The parable follows a young New England
paperboy, named Rain, as he learns the business of being in
business and quickly becomes the best paperboy in town.
Through a series of humorous poignant vignettes, Jeff illustrates forty "rainmaker" business lessons that can be applied to not only paperboys, but anyone in business and sales. Rain's time as a paperboy proves to be just as valuable as getting an MBA.
As with Jossey-Bass' popular Lencioni business fables, the format for Rain includes an actionable business model at the end of the book with instant takeaways and practical advice.
