The
Rambler
Talks to
A Super Salesman
BY JOHN McKELwAY

Came across a man named
John Wolfe the other day
a man who goes across the
country trying to teach sales
men how to be better sales
men.
He is, for this field, sur
prisingly mild. He breaches
STRONG" selling as opposed
to thigh pressure selling"
The difference seems to be
honesty. One of the things
he breaches is that sales
men know what they're
talking about"
He has sold, in the past,
airplanes, newspaper adj
vertising, piped-in music,
bow ties, cosmetics, weld
ing equipment, plant food
and games.
Mr.. Wolfe once sold an
airplane to a man who
couldn't fly.
He has written a book.
1t is called, "Sell Like an
Ace; Live Like a King" But
he is not like the guy who
raps on your screen door,
late on a cool evening, and
demands entrance--if only
for two minutes"
He believes that this coun-
try can be under con-
sumed." He believes, as he
says, that the economy fails
to move largely because of
sloppy salesmanship.
He invited the Rambler
up to the Statler-Hilton re-
Gently to attend one of his
courses. The statesmen in at
tendance try to sell every
thing from Bibles to Cadil-
laos, from membership in a
country club to home freezers.
One Of the things Mr..
Wolfe passed out to the group
was a rather disturbing
paper circle which statesmen
can slide around for answers.
For example, he has desig-
mated a certain type of buyer
as pig Head Pete"
Pig Head, one quickly finds
out, is an individual who
Puts up a stone wall of
fixed ideas"
