    <![CDATA[<em>The Greatest Salesman in the World</em> 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, <em>The Greatest Salesman in the World</em> 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. <em>--Jodie Buller</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[ The Greatest Salesman in the World is a best-selling book by Og Mandino, an author whose books have sold over 50,000,000 copies. Published in 1968, it was reissued in 1983 by Bantam. It's a classic guide to a philosophy of salesmanship, telling the story of Hafid, a poor camel boy who achieves a life of abundance. A hardcover edition was published by Buccaneer Books in June, 1993.<br/> If Mandino's suggested reading structure is followed, it would take ten months to read the book. His instructions are to read Scroll I (Chap. 8) three times a day for thirty days. After completing Scroll I you continue to Scroll II (Chap. 9) &amp; so forth thru Scroll X (Chap. 17).<br/> Mandino composed The Legend Of The Ten Scrolls. They are:<br/>Scroll I - Commitment <br/>Scroll II - Love <br/>Scroll III - Persistence <br/>Scroll IV - Miracle <br/>Scroll V - Time <br/>Scroll VI - Emotion <br/>Scroll VII - Laughter <br/>Scroll VIII - Value <br/>Scroll IX - Action <br/>Scroll X - Guidance <br/>His primary message was to &quot;do it now&quot;. In the marking of Scroll IX, &quot;I will act now&quot; is written 18 times. While his messages have Xian undertones, it was still a message of repetitive actions to build good habits.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I still believe this is the greatest book in the world and anyone who plans on owning a business should invest in this book. It's a short book at first read but if you really want to learn from what you read, it will take you a year to finish the book. I couldn't do it, can you?]]></body>
