About this product

Product Information

What you are today is not important . . . for in this runaway bestseller you will learn how to change your life by applying the secrets you are about to discover in the ancient scrolls. "I will persist until I succeed. I was not delivered into this world into defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny. I will persist until I succeed." --From the ancient scroll marked III in The Greatest Salesman in the World Praise for The Greatest Salesman in the World " The Greatest Salesman in the World is one of the most inspiring, uplifting, and motivating books I have ever read. I can well understand why it has had such a splendid acceptance." --Norman Vincent Peale "At last! A book on sales and salesmanship that can be read and enjoyed by veteran and recruit alike! I have just completed The Greatest Salesman in the World for the second time--it was too good for just one reading--and in all sincerity, I say that it is the most readable, most constructive and most useful instrument for the teaching of sales as a profession that I have ever read." --F.W. Errigo, Manager, U. S. Sales Trainer at Parke, Davis & Company "I have read almost every book that has ever been written on salesmanship, but I think Og Mandino has captured all of them in The Greatest Salesman in the World . No one who follows these principles will ever fail as a salesman, and no one will ever be truly great without them; but, the author has done more than present the principles--he has woven them into the fabric of one of the most fascinating stories I have ever read." --Paul J. Meyer, President of Success Motivation Institute, Inc. "Every sales manager should read The Greatest Salesman in the World . It is a book to keep at the bedside, or on the living room table--a book to dip into as needed, to browse in now and then, to enjoy in small stimulating portions. It is a book for the hours and for the years, a book to turn to over and over again, as to a friend, a book of moral, spiritual and ethical guidance, an unfailing source of comfort and inspiration." --Lester J. Bradshaw, Jr., Former Dean, Dale Carnegie Institute of Effective Speaking & Human Relations "I was overwhelmed by The Greatest Salesman in the World . It is, without doubt, the greatest and the most touching story I have ever read. It is so good that there are two musts that I would attach to it: First, you must not lay it down until you have finished it; and secondly, every individual who sells anything, and that includes us all, must read it." --Robert B. Hensley, President, Life Insurance Co. of Kentucky "Og Mandino provocatively prods your attention into fascination as he masterfully relates his story. The Greatest Salesman in the World is a book with emotional appeal for millions." --Roy Garn, Executive Director, Emotional Appeal Institute "There are very few men who have the writing talent with which Og Mandino has been blessed. The thoughts contained in this book symbolize the importance of selling to the entire world's existence." --Sol Polk, President, Polk Bros., Inc.

Most of all, first he must sell himself to himself in order to find personal happiness and peace of mind. This book, if carefully read, absorbed and heeded, can help every one of us to be his best salesman." --Dr. Louis Binstock, Rabbi, Temple Sholom, Chicago   "I like the story . . .

I have published hundreds of books over the years but Og Mandino's powerful message found a place in my innermost being. I am proud to be the publisher of this book." --Frederick V. Fell

  • Hands down best sales / motivational book on the market

    This is honestly one of the best sales books ever written. Before you even buy the book, just open it up to one of the Scrolls. Read the scroll and you will be absolutely hooked. To be totally honest, I haven't read this entire book. But what I have done, is read each one of the scrolls. I have read them, memorized them, envisioned them and have used them to carry me through the extreme ups and down of being a door to door salesman...for FIVE long years. I have read at least one scroll almost every single day. It is a great motivational book, but more importantly, it is an amazing book when you've had every door slammed in your face. No one needs motivation when you are on top of the world, but you need something by your side to remind you who you are, and the unbelievable ...

  • Great book for Inspiration

    I bought the book The Greatest Salesman in the World by Og Mandino a few weeks ago. I read it in one sitting. It is a small paperback book that suited me because I am a very busy person with a home candle business. It was suggested on a forum I belong to that this was a very inspiring book. I liked the idea of a small paperback book that I could carry with me and read wherever I went as my time is very limited. At first I thought it was just going to be another one of those religious books because it talked about the ancient scrolls and such. But boy was I wrong. This is a classic and anyone who is in network marketing or has a home business should read it.

  • Great read!

    Who doesn't want to be the greatest salesman in the world. To be the best in your field and in what you do is one of the best things in my opinion in life professionally to strive for. If you are not trying to be the best version of yourself and be the best then why work so hard, work long hours and get up early. This book allows you to pick up some great ideas and use it to make a positive impact on your life
