Summary

This is the story of a salesman who worked for Avery, the biggest scale company in the world, and how he learned secrets that only the most professional salesmen share. In this book the techniques and tips that make selling easy are revealed.

Birth of a Salesman explores the unique world of the specialty salesman who finds and closes his own deals. It's a personal account of a seminal part of my life, but, by writing it, I realized it is also a snapshot of an ever-changing world, something you might find in a dusty old suitcase and wonder about.

I was bright eyed, energetic, and enthusiastic when I joined Avery, and that is why this book is called Birth of a Salesman, dealing, as it does, with the early part of my business life. Avery took a naive young man with no selling experience and created a salesman. Like many others who went on to become captains of industry, the sales training that Avery gave me was the foundation for a successful and rewarding career.
