Présentation de l'éditeur

One method is to state the principles of salesmanship and give some illustrations of how they are applied to practical selling difficulties. A nother and more interesting method is that of finding out the practical difficulties of salesmen, collecting the practical methods used by expert salespeople in meeting these difficulties, and using the principles to explain the methods. The second method is the one used in this volume. A bout sixty difficulties encountered by retail salespeople were listed. Twenty-five people were trained in the methods of interviewing, after which training they had conferences with three hundred expert salespeople who were selected with unusual care from several large department stores. In this way the methods used by from thirty to one hundred and ten experts in handling each difficulty were gathered and organized into the form in which they appear in the text. The writing of a textbook on salesmanship where this method is used is essentially the work of reporters. The chief of the group of reporters, whose name appears on the title-page, does not claim to be an expert in salesmanship. He has directed the force of reporters who have collected opinions from experts, and his contribution is, therefore, editorial rather than technical. He wishes particularly to acknowledge the very thorough and clever assistance in compilation given by Mrs. Elizabeth Conover Moore, who took most of the material as it came from the interviewers and threw it into systematic form, giving to the work her rich experience in selling, training, and editorial writing.
