Written in the style of an ancient parable, Selling the Wheel recounts Max and his wife's efforts to market the Wheel with the help of Ozzie the Oracle. From their discovery of the four essential selling styles (Closer, Wizard, Builder, and Captain & Crew) to their realization that tactics and strategies must evolve with changes in the marketplace, each step of their adventure discloses a vital key to effective sales and marketing. Emphasizing the importance of matching one's natural strengths to the needs of specific customers, this charming parable will be critical to the more than 7 million Americans who work directly in sales -- and to entrepreneurs, marketing managers, and other businesspeople who want to sharpen their skills and learn how to present any product or service as "the greatest thing since the invention of the wheel".
