Sales Tales is a compilation of funny, strange, and unusual stories from T. Farmer and his friends in the sales profession. Many books by sales professionals focus on helping you sell more and make more, but Sales Tales is about the "Why" behind salespeople. Why do they drive the miles, put in the long hours, and go on sales calls until midnight? Farmer shows that there is more to sales than making a living. The collection includes incredible and hilarious anecdotes, including a pet monkey demonstrating the sharpness of knives, a salesman's accidental eavesdropping, and an awkward ending to an outburst of road rage. They will make you laugh out loud and want to share them with others. Sales Tales was written and published with much gratitude to the many salespeople who contributed their stories.
