Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It is a tiny book and it is a treasure. First published in 1968, Og Mandino's classic The Greatest Salesman in the World remains an invaluable guide towards a philosophy of salesmanship. Mandino has a clear, simple writing style that supports his purpose: to make the principles of sales known to a wide audience. A parable set in the time just prior to Christianity, The Greatest Salesman in the World weaves mythology with spirituality into a much-needed message of inspiration in this culture of self-promotion. Mandino believes that in order to be a good salesperson, you must believe in yourself and the work which you are doing. It is a simple but profound spiritual philosophy about how to succeed in the world's marketplace, easily understood and easy to take to heart. --Jodie Buller

Format:Mass Market Paperback
The book is a tale of the greatest salesman of his country. He bears the secrets of this talent until he finds one noble & worthy enough of this knowledge. These secrets are locked in a vault amongst the pages of a scroll. Through out the tale these guidelines are revealed.
I found this book compeling and inspirational. So much so that I went back though it with my laptop to write quotes from it that I could use in every day conversation and my life. I was left with three pages. Enough said I think.
I eagerly wait to read more titles from Og mandino. Worth the read definitely.

I've had this book for some time now. It was a gift from my mother that just sat in my desk until I decided to give it a chance. I can't beleive I had written this treasure off as just another self-help book. Since I've read it I look at things with a little more optimism, and a liitle more zest. The scrolls in this book inspire you to live life to it's fullest, and be successfull in both you're career and you're personal life. It dosn't matter if you're religous or not, this book will brighten your outlook on everything.

I was prompted to write this review based on a number of negative reviews I read on this page about the book.
One reader actually said he read it twice with out getting the point-or much out of it.
Og Mandino's is one with a difference-it is not what you can get out of it that matters ( he is not really trying to impart knowledge in the real sense) it is what the book can impart into your subconscious mind that makes it different.
As one reviewer explained the best way you can acquire maximum benefit from book is by following the recommended procedure-reading each chapter for 30 days, three times daily and not turning to the next chapter until you have completed the preceding one.
I know this might sound strange and a waste of time (we are talking about 270 days here) but it is indeed worth the while.
If you go about it this way you will start noticing a change -have a more positive attitude to life-persist more and wake up with more vigor.
What you have read will keeping seeping through you conscious to your subconscious (especially when you face tough situations) and this will inspire you handle life better.
I personally read the book in 1993 - I could not believe that there was such a wonderful book in existence and it really changed my life>
How I wish more of us could learn to inspire and motivate like Og.
He definitely got me thinking about going into inspiration motivation.
