Life on the road as a permanent conference exhibit booth host is easy for Peter. This short book describes his life on the road as a permanent exhibit himself in hotel rooms and airport lounges. The life is his antidote for his unrequited love for his boss, Tatiana. The descriptions of his life’s work will have you laughing and crying in equal measure. For anyone not familiar with the life of a salesman, this book is almost an instruction manual, detailing just what it takes to achieve success in selling. Peter remembers all his handshakes, the first step to clinching a deal, and describes some of the min great detail.I loved the one about the woman who spat out the sweetie into her hand and bagged it up before proceeding to shake his hand!It’s only a short book, and one which you can comfortably get through in one sitting, but its also one that you won’t want to put it down once you start reading it.A great book for a lonely night in some anonymous chain-hotel too - you’ll totally empathize with the main character. I loved this little book because it was written in a way which showcased the frail humanity so many of us live with every day.
