Selling the Wheel is a fascinating story about sales and marketing written in the form of an ancient parable: Once upon a time, long ago, a resourceful fellow named Max came up with a brilliant idea and invented the Wheel. But human beings, who had been getting along without the Wheel for thousands of years, did not instantly appreciate their need for this clever invention.... This is the challenge facing Max, as dramatized by Jeff Cox, coauthor of the bestselling business novels Zapp! and The Goal, Selling the Wheel is based on the pioneering research of Howard Stevens's employment-testing and customer-research firm, the H. R. Chally Group. In the story, Max and his wife, Minnie, learn what it takes to market the Wheel. With the help of Ozzie the Oracle, they discover four essential selling styles -- Closer, Wizard, Relationship Builder, and Captain & Crew -- and come to understand how each style is suited to a different type of salesperson. They learn that as markets evolve, selling styles and strategies must change. There is no single right way -- and no company can be all things to all people. This critical lesson is as valuable to salespeople as it is to sales managers. Writer Jeff Cox has the amazing gift for translating technical ideas into creative, engaging stories, and his collaboration with sales and marketing expert Howard Stevens is based on empirical research collected from 250,000 salespeople, more than 1,500 people in corporate sales, and interviews with more than 100,000 actual customers who rated the strengths and weaknesses of the salespeople serving them. Packed with practical tips for salespeople, entrepreneurs, marketing managers, and business students, Selling the Wheel is an irresistible guide to sales styles, strategies, and markets.

Faith is ripped from humanity in an instant leaving those most badly affected picking up the pieces and facing the greatest challenge of their existence: to accept the truth. In an event that causes all the people of the world to lose consciousness for but a moment, faith is gone – everyone is an atheist, and anyone who had strong faith before is left bereft. The event’s cause is unknown, but some believe it’s the doing of a powerful External Force, and are willing to commit acts of violence in its name against those who still bear symbols of religion… Paul, a middle-aged widower and recovering alcoholic, leans heavily on his religious belief to deal with the grief after the loss of his wife. But when he starts to see her again after the event, she takes him to a place of significance – a Welsh coastal village where they spent a perfect day on their honeymoon decades earlier. Becoming a part of the village community, Paul connects with others, and they help each other come to terms with this forever-changed world. Can Paul protect his new family from the External Force supporters before it’s too late?
