Amazon.com Review: The Greatest Salesman in the World is a tiny book, and it is a treasure. First published in 1968, Og Mandino's classic remains an invaluable guide to a philosophy of salesmanship. Mandino's clear, simple writing style 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 to be a good salesperson, you must believe in yourself and the work 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 Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - The Greatest Salesman In The World I've reviewed about a dozen products for Amazon.com within the last few months and have rated all products 5 stars. Unfortunately, I read "The Greatest Salesman In The World" right after reading "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" and "Mists of Avalon." If the last two were five star books, "Salesman" is one star in comparison. Rating: - Liked the scrolls, the rest was unnecessary. The first half of the book introduces you to the ancient story of the greatest salesman and his scrolls, but this is quite unnecessary. Next are the scrolls - they have little to do with salesmanship and much more with self motivation/improvement and inspiration, yet they are indeed good. The theistic end to the book (including the last scroll) severely weakens the book's impact, simply because it cannot by its nature be in line with the motivational tone of the preceding scrolls. I'd suggest reading ... Read More Rating: - RAH RAH Speech on steroids If listening the RAH RAH motivational speeches helps you, you will love Og Mandino. Basically all of his books are pure emotional rally with very little logical advice. Some salespeople feel they need this to keep them pumped up and positive in the face of daily rejection. If this is you, then this is a 5 star book. If you actually want usable advice don't bother with the writings of Mandino. He gives no usable advice. Rating: - LOOK UNDER RELIGION - AWESOME MANDINO There are only so superlatives to describe the writings of Og Mandino. I have included 2 quotes below from his books. The first is similar to something I read by W. Clement Stone 35 years ago. Paraphrasing Stone, in every adversity, seek out the positive and focus your mind on that positive rather than the adversity. I went around for months repeating in my mind, "find the best in every negative". 35 years later, I can say it still works. Og Mandino quotes: "Search ...

The only criticism is that it is written in masculine terms and I didn't want to be repeating three times a day that I am a wonderful salesman! So I typed it up myself with language appropriate to my gender. In so saying, I believe that exercise gels the scrolls in my consciousness even more so I have given it 5 stars anyway. Make sure you do the repetitions for the full 30 days as repetition IS the first law of learning. If you don't repeat it, ...
