Abstract

Friedman chronicles the remarkable metamorphosis of the American salesman from itinerant amateur to trained expert. From the mid-19th century to the eve of World War II, the development of sales management transformed an economy populated by peddlers and canvassers to one driven by professional salesmen and executives.
