Looking for book recs. Doesn't matter the genre — fiction, nonfiction, whatever. Just tell me the one book that stuck with you long after you finished it.
Edit: Thanks for the great response. I've bookmarked quite a few of these books.
I'm targeting small businesses in the US and would love to hear from people who have actually done outbound sales.
​
From your experience, what's been more effective: cold calling or cold emailing?
​
A few things I'm curious about:
​
Which one generated more meetings or clients?
​
What industries responded best?
​
If you had to start from scratch today, where would you focus your time?
​
Are small business owners more likely to answer calls or respond to emails in 2026?
​
Any tips, lessons learned, or mistakes to avoid?
​
For context, I'm targeting small businesses and trying to figure out where to invest most of my outreach efforts.
​
Looking forward to hearing real-world experiences rather than generic sales advice.

I’ve spent almost 10 years working in telecom operations, and lately I can’t help but feel anxious about how fast AI is advancing.
It feels like automation is slowly creeping into every industry, including roles that once seemed “safe.”
I’m curious how others are dealing with this fear and what skills or career paths people think are worth focusing on moving forward.
