| Summary |
"Tales of the Road" by Charles N. Crewdson is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the intricate world of salesmanship, particularly highlighting the experiences, challenges, and philosophies of traveling salesmen as they navigate their profession. Through a series of anecdotes and reflections, the author emphasizes the significance of integrity and relationship-building in the business of sales. The opening of "Tales of the Road" introduces readers to the foundational concepts of salesmanship, as Crewdson asserts that successful salesmen embody qualities such as resilience, quick thinking, and a commitment to fairness. He recounts the various roles that a traveling salesman plays—from persuader to strategist—and shares personal stories that illustrate the importance of a "square deal" with customers. As Crewdson begins to explore his own experiences in the world of sales, he builds a narrative that blends practical advice with engaging tales, establishing a rapport with readers that promises insights into the art of salesmanship.
