Summary of The Greatest Salesman in The World
Short summary
Time is a continuum that waits for nobody. So many people have found it increasingly difficult to facilitate a successful sale. Being a successful salesman requires a lot of confidence, commitment, hard work, determination, grit, focus, belief, etc. A successful salesman must know the importance of time and the value of emotions. He must also know why to sell and when to sell. Establishing the correct attitude is very important to the success of any sale, and that’s what Og Mandino has discussed in the book. Og Mandino was an author whose works have been read all over the world and translated into more than twenty languages. He was a best-selling author and an elected president of Success Unlimited Magazine.
“Why am I trying to become what I don’t want to be … when all I want is out there, waiting for me the minute I say I know who I am.” ~ Arthur Miller

Not many people understand what it means to become successful in the art of selling their ideas. Some think it’s about the money, while some do it for fame, but only a few do it because they know how to. The first problem faced by sellers is that they don’t know how to convince people to buy into their ideas.
Becoming a great salesman requires total commitment, action, and spirituality. It requires being selfless and being at peace with yourself. It also requires knowing your worth and value. Selling your ideas cannot be made possible unless you follow the principles that guide a successful sale.
Using the Bible as a reference, Og Mandino has successfully narrated a beautiful story, telling people the best way to facilitate successful tales. If you want to know the comprehensive details of how to become the greatest salesman in the world, this is the perfect piece for you.

Failure is not an obstacle but an experience for anyone who is determined to succeed
In ancient times, a wealthy man named Hafid called his closest servant, Erasmus, and told him to estimate the worth of everything he owned. Hafid was a wealthy man who was seen as the greatest salesman in the world. He had riches of all kinds, and he lived in affluence. It came as a rude shock to Erasmus, however, when Hafid told him to convert his vast fortune to gold talents and to donate it to the poor, leaving only enough for Hafid to live for the remaining days he had left to live. Confused, Erasmus reminded Hafid that the past year had been the most profitable year they’ve had. The wealthy man asked his servant to trust him and to stay with him until he fulfilled a promise he had made to his own master when he was still young.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.
An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned
In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.
The selections are on point and the summaries are excellent! I listen while I walk my pup 🐶 and have in turn, ordered a few selections! REALLY loving the app, it’s layout, daily selections and features!
I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!
It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.
I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.
The app it’s so easy to use. I use it while driving or cooking and is great. I love the fact that the chapters are short, so you can finish them quickly. Very knowledgeable.
The best app for self development.It helps to keep pace with your reading and also suggests the kind of reading material you might like.It is fun as you can switch from reading to listening and vice-versa as per your convenience .Just get started and partake of the treasure of knowledge at your fingertips .I feel lucky to have spotted the app.It has helped me become self-disciplined and much better informed.The audio track is excellent.
Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
This is outstanding best app ever and honestly whoever came up with is my app is an absolute genius kudos my gratitude definitely goes out and I’m only on my first week free trial and I’m certainly going to purchase this app annually. Now that I have it, I can’t even imagine living without it.
