How did this book come about?

The writer did sales in various parts of the country and the world and found it a fascinating-ugly world that no one wanted to talk about outside of work. She decided to take the plunge, especially when she witnessed the abysmal sex ratio in the sales domain. And thence the book was born. The novel mixes her sales anecdotes and experiences along with some imagined love stories, turning it into a gallimaufry of incidents sure to draw some raised eyebrows and produce some laugh lines on your face.
