"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.
