Towards the last years of his life, my father spent a lot of time writing a book on Sales. He was a salesman at heart and at life. He is no more and he never finished the book. Foutunately, I found a soft copy of the transcript he was writing from his computer. I feel I am obligated to let the world know about his thoughts and I decided to present it as a “blog book”.

I will try not to make edits to his literature unless I find something glaringly incomplete. I know nothing about Sales anyway. You can find all the chapters of this book in this blog categorized in sales.

I know he will be very happy to know that this blog book helped someone in any small way possible. If it helped you, do let us know.
