Publisher Description:
""Sell me this ashtray "" An odd question. I'd never sold a thing but my naive reply changed my life. It took me into the world of speciality selling where salesmen find and close their own deals. A world of weighing machines, pretend greyhounds, of commission, clubs and crooked customers. -Join me on this light hearted journey, learning the secrets of selling, of closing deals. -""Button the sale with benefits,"" they said and I did as I charged blindly into the land of opportunity that lay ahead. -A dinner with Tommy Cooper as I celebrate success and discover how painful midnight leg wrestling is. -This is a land of naughty films, sheets in windows, crowds and policemen, of Yorkshire grit, fisticuffs and angry bakers. -""My God. You're an 'ard man,"" said the butcher averting his gaze. He didn't know he'd been staring at a glass eye. If you've would like to know the secrets of selling and enjoy a funny story this book is for you. Grab a copy and explore my strange world of sales.
