Robert Workman
Robert writes books for guys who like to read books. Read the reviews – ladies like them even more.
Here’s why:
A sprinter/hurdler on the UT Austin track team, Robert has always enjoyed speed. He has driven six of his Ferraris in cross-Texas races. At the Bootlegger Run, a 1,200 cross-Texas road rally, he and his navigator received the trophy for “Best Team.”
But that isn’t what’s important right now …
What’s important is that he writes stories like he drives. Jump into one of his books with him. Race through his noir action novels. You’ll feel like you’re driving west out of Dallas at 135 mph, late to a Diana Krall concert at the Fort Worth Bass Hall – with no tickets. (That happened.)
At age 27 he was recruited and interviewed by the CIA in their Langley, Virginia offices, then at a hotel in Austin, Texas. He told them they didn’t pay enough money and flew home. They probably called everyone into the office, broke out the Jim Beam and had a party.
If you want to hang out with a guy who is given to exotic cars, mountain lions for house pets in his downtown warehouse home, and a West Texas cattle ranch writing residence, check out one of his books.
Robert Danger Workman has a consistent successful track record in sales spanning four decades and is the author of the best-selling book, Hired Gun: You’re #1 and Somebody Hates it.

PS: The “Danger” name is real
Robert believes the best defense is a good offense. Pulling up Robert’s law enforcement “History” on their computers pops up a list of over 100 charges ranging from “60 in a 20” to “Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon” and “Hoax Bomb.” His “Record” shows zero convictions. Hundreds in his History, zero in his Record. But that isn’t what’s important right now …
After declining Central Intelligence, he mastered the power of listening and persuasion. By age 30, he used his acquired skills to build a successful sales career and advertising business. The precipitates of his efforts were a new Ferrari, Mercedes, national champion registered Texas Longhorn cattle, Chevy cattle hauling truck, stock trailers, national champion Longhorn cattle, horses, a 70 acre ranch in the Texas hill country and a three-story 10,000 square foot home built as a replica of the original King Ranch Mansion.
And he lost it all in 30 days.
Robert’s vulture capitalist backers sold his company to his direct competition behind his back. The vultures made 4 million dollars in ten months. Robert and 123 of his employees were out of jobs. Ranch, home, cattle, horses, Ferrari, Mercedes, truck, trailers, bank account, investments, wife, even his dogs (pet wolves) … all, gone. His entire new apartment was smaller than his previous bedroom. All he had left was family and friends.
But Robert is one resilient Mo-Fo.
So, Robert wrote the business book, HIRED GUN – You’re #1, and Somebody Hates It and trademarked the term, “Hired Gun®.”
The book sold out of every airport book store from Miami to Anchorage.
The theme is resilience. If you are highly desired and sought after as the #1 top producer for your company – don’t believe you are not expendable. It’s how to deal with getting Fired and turn it to your advantage.
Robert was booked nationwide into speaking engagements at conferences and consultancies with companies to increase their commitment to excellence. Gigs were many, bookings were great.
Enter 9-11.
Airports chut down, no flights, no conventions, no conferences, Las Vegas had a 40% occupancy. No speaking gigs, no income.
But Robert is one resilient Mo-Fo.
He wrote HIRED GUN II. He began calling airport book stores to get his book marketed again to traveling salespeople and business executives.
By 2015, Corporatocracy had taken over among booksellers, which made placement in airport book stores difficult. Airport book store books only purchased books for their stores through corporate home offices and major publishing houses.
But Robert is one resilient Mo-Fo.
After weeks of research and hundreds of phone calls, Robert obtained the phone numbers and names of the General Managers of the actual stores at their airport locations.
Bypassing the obstacle of corporatocracy, in January 2020 Robert got HIRED GUN II placed in every airport book store once again by individual store managers, coast to coast. It was poised to become another smash success. Hartsfield-Atlanta, the world’s busiest airport by passenger traffic, placed the book at the tops of their racks.
Enter COVID-19
Every airport shut down for months. No air travel. No airports. No airport book stores. Low book sales.
But Robert is one resilient Mo-Fo.
So, while airports were closed, he wrote SELLING – The Most Dangerous Game. Glowing endorsements came in from the world’s eminent sales speakers and trainers: Brian Tracy, Jim Cathcart, Dr. Nido Qubein, Anthony Iannarino, and many more. Robert got on the phone to place the book in his beloved airport book stores.
All his airport book buying contacts were gone.
During the three months of airport closings due to Covid, they had to find other jobs. They were – all, gone, and not replaced.
Of SELLING, the #9 rated speaker in the world Jim Cathcart, said: “This is a book for two types of people: those who live the kick-ass, take-no-prisoners lifestyle; and those who wish they did. Strap on your guns and take a ride with Workman. You’ll be better for it.”
Nido Qubein, President of High Point University in North Carolina said, “A great book for anyone seeking personal excellence and professional success – in sales and in life.”
