In "The Extremely Successful Salesman's Club," Chris Murray shares his observation that roughly half of the individuals providing products or services lack competence, with some even engaging in questionable practices. This paints a troubling picture of the marketplace where consumers encounter varying levels of quality and integrity when seeking solutions to their needs.

Murray further explains that among the remaining service providers, there are those who meet acceptable standards and others who are exceptional. However, for the average consumer, distinguishing between the two groups can be a challenging task, complicating their decision-making process when choosing whom to trust. This insight underscores the need for vigilance and discernment in today's business landscape.
