  • Dale Carnegie taught people how to win friends and influence customers with powerful methods that still work
  • Joe Girard, listed by Guinness as the world’s greatest salesman, didn’t just sell cars, he sold relationships…and developed a successful referral business
  • Elmer Wheeler discovered fundamental truths about persuasion by testing thousands of sales pitches on millions of people, and achieved great success in the middle of the Great Depression

Part history and part how-to, The Giants of Sales gives you practical, real-world techniques based on the time-tested wisdom of true sales masters.
