Summary: Not exactly a sales training book
Review: With so much praises, I picked this up and read this mini book while I was waiting my wife in the hospital. The ten scrolls are surely encouraging, but not necessarily surprising enough to make to remember. Also, the ten scrolls are messages that basically can work in all occasssions, not only in a sales profession. Also, please note that you will be more attached to it if you have Christian background.

Summary: Great Advice..
Review: The advice in the 10 scrolls is outstanding.The first few chapters are devoted to a rather silly story. I would have enjoyed the books much, much more without the silly mythology added to it. Not to mention some actual religious double-speak. (Jesus is described as having been killed by Romans for crimes against Rome... uh... okay.) But the 10 scrolls (10 items of advice) are worth the inexpensive price of the book. And, taken outside the obvious and unnecessary judeo-christian mythology, they are universal to virtually every religion and creed that I know of.

Summary: Inspiring!
Review: The attitude of success is reinforced in this powerful book. Readers are taught the necessity of perserverance in goal attainment. A key is given to unlock the door to achievement, i.e., "I will form good habits and become their slaves." Mandino stresses the point that true wealth is not in the material arena. Quality of life lies beyond the transitory nature of the physical. He focuses on enhancing generosity. In addressing interpersonal relationships he writes "all hate is let from my veins for I have not time to hate, only time to love." He is inspiring when he drives home a theme. His talent is in his ability to repeat and approach the topic from a new angle so that the freshness is not lost through repetition. I highly recommend this book. Its principles have positive implications far beyond successful sales work.

Summary: Inspirational
Review: This charming story is set two thousand years ago with a religious theme. The character Hafid, when in his youth, desires to become a salesman in order to get rich and win the girl of his dreams. When he learns how difficult selling is, he laments: "Why will the people not listen to my story? ... Why do they close their door before I have said five words? Why do they lose interest in my talk and walk away? ... What is this fear that seizes me when I approach a closed door and how can I overcome it?" Then Hafid obtains the valuable scrolls and through studying them, becomes the greatest salesman in the world. A few paraphrases will give the reader an idea of what's on the scrolls: Be nice to people; Try, try, again; Seize the day; Have a sense of humor; Just do it. The main message is: Don't give up.
Realize that the book is not a training manual; the scrolls are not a list of techniques to overcome buyer's resistance. Beginner salesmen, though, will appreciate the book for its inspirational value. Veteran salesmen, who perhaps understand much of what's on the scrolls, are still apt to enjoy the story. In fact anyone looking to sell what they have to say to a challenging public will find the book useful. Og Mandino's The Greatest Salesman in the World does for selling what A Message to Garcia does for management and The Richest Man in Babylon does for personal finance.

Summary: The Greatest Salesman in the world
Review: I don't know which book some of your "less than awe struck" readers read, but I read this book and If your in sales, you shouldn't be let on the street bringing a product to the masses until you've read this book! You should reflect when you are done with every chapter on what you were supposed to learn. If you didn't pick up the lesson then reread the chapter becuase you are too much in a hurry.
This is a book that can help you to stay focus on what God wants a good salesman to be and not what the world wants. It should be a sales manager's first thing to give his new salesperson. Yes before even "How to win friends and influence people", this book should be read. I have every intention of reading this book again and reading book two asap. I'm sure it will be as amazing as book one. Also there is nothing weak about Og Mandino or his faith or the religiosityof this awesome book.Peace. God Bless!

Review: Quite a fuss over a book which is just regurgitated advice on how to achieve success. The tie in with religion was weak as well.

Summary: The Greatest Quest In Life
Review: In this powerful book, Og Mandino shows why love and faith are so vital to our lives. The answer to so many of life's problems is found in this statement: I will greet this day with love in my heart. Love never fails. Therefore, if we learn to walk in love, then we are never going to fail either. Og mandino also tells us how to turn around even what seem to be impossible situations by walking in the never-ending faith. This book teaches how to let the never-failing love and the never-ending faith dominate our lives rather than to allow our emotions to rule us. So be it. We are to make the never-failing love and the never-ending faith the greatest quest in life.
