The first "best" book I ever read was "The Greatest Salesman in the World" by Og Mandino. I actually read it and did most of what it asked me to in the exercise in the back. Yes, it was corny. It helped me break out of my comfort zone and look at people differently, as a service opportunity. It helped me start me selling career from a customer-oriented perspective, which is something some people never develop. I was blessed to have this book be required reading by an early mentor. It is amazing how much easier people are to deal with when they know I have servicing their needs in mind. To this day, I still think of this as one of the best books to start a sales or customer service career with. It would also be a great book for anyone wanting to develop a service minded approach to selling no matter where you are in you career, and yes, to get the benefit, you must follow the exercise at the end of the book. Good Reading. Randy
