It's a new kind of money. But you can't see it or touch it. That's because it's invisible. It also changes in value hourly.

In this no-holds-barred book, investigative journalist Atherton Cooper, author of Crippled by Cryptocurrency, drills down even deeper into the nebulous world of the "cryptoverse".

Anyone can approach an organization; not everyone can get in. The first step in business-to-business sales is getting in the door.

The experience of selling to a business isn't limited to salespeople. At some point, many people find the need to approach an organization, whether it is selling an idea or service, for fundraising needs, or even just selling personal credentials in an interview or audition.

Big time, as in losing everything.
