From the author of Ahead of the Curve, a revelatory look at successful selling and how it can impact everything we do

The first book of its kind, The Art of the Sale is the result of a pilgrimage to learn the secrets of the world's foremost sales gurus.

The wisdom and experience Broughton acquired, revealed in this outstanding book, demonstrates as never before the complex alchemy of effective selling and the power it has to overcome challenges we face every day.

Philip Delves Broughton reported from more than twenty-five countries as a foreign correspondent for the Daily Telegraph (London) before getting his MBA at Harvard Business School.
