eBook The passionate pitchman by Stephen Marlowe

Hector Finch, ace salesman, is handed the opportunity of a lifetime when a mysterious man offers him the power to teleport and a company that can sell anything, anywhere, anytime.

The passionate pitchman

But with a less-than-scrupulous procurement team and a sales force of unlikely beauties, Heck’s dream quickly spirals out of control. As mob bosses and kidnappings enter the picture, Heck must use every ounce of his sales savvy to talk his way out of an impossible situation!

Hector was just another salesman until the gorgeous Miss Laara came along with her Foolproof Method of Procurement. Miss Laara was fascinating. So were her methods. They introduced Hector into a world where inhibitions were unknown. Then the Syndicate moved in. They wanted to know about this procurement business. So will you.

“First, a question. What would you say is the chief factor in selling over which the salesman has no control?”

“Location, of course,” Heck said promptly. “You’ve got to be where the customer is. You’ve got to get that old foot in the door, as the expression goes—”

“Precisely. But I can go you one better, Heck. Could you sell bottled water to a thirsting man? a greasy-spoon hamburger to a starving man? life insurance to a man who’s just learned he has an incurable disease?”
