The Greatest Salesman in the World

The Greatest Salesman in the World is surely the ambition of all those who have chosen this most difficult and yet ultimately most rewarding of ways to earn a living.

And here, Og Mandino, a master storyteller, narrates an allegorical story about Hafid a lowly camel boy perfectly illustrating the age-old wisdom known to many professional salespeople that selling is simple, not easy, but simple.

The ancient wisdom contained in the ten scrolls given to Hafid outline a business strategy comprising seemingly simple tasks to be accomplished for perpetual success. But if it was that easy then every salesperson would be successful; and yet a lowly camel boy through personal development did it and became The Greatest Salesman in the World.

Hafid, with all his drawbacks and lack of education, achieved lasting success by following the simple sales training strategy laid out in the ten scrolls surely the recipe is there for all to follow? And of course it is. But while the message is simple doing it day after day, week after week and month after month is not easy even in these enlightened times. And yet the basics that have stood as pillars of wisdom for two thousand years are still the bedrock of success today.

It takes a special kind of person to achieve success in the selling profession as Og Mandino discovered so many years ago and yet he lays out the path so that all is crystal clear to those who truly crave success. The message is just as true to day as it was over two thousand years ago for Hafid, just a poor self-effacing camel boy who ultimately became The Greatest Salesman in the World.

Og Mandino has left us, but what a heritage the man has left. All can follow in the self-improvement footsteps of Hafid the camel boy who had never heard of time management, wealth building, personal development or goal setting but by following a master plan achieved fame and lasting success as The Greatest Salesman in the World.
