Synopsis

The American author and creator of the folk character Uncle Remus, Joel Chandler Harris produced a wide body of works, reflecting his life and interests in the Deep South. As a young journalist, he established a reputation as a brilliant humorist and writer of dialect. His Uncle Remus stories secured for Harris a place in American literature. The format was an instant success — a wise and genial old black man, Uncle Remus narrates tales of Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox and other animals to the son of a plantation owner, while interweaving his philosophy of the world about him. Harris’ later novels reveal his ability as a writer of ‘local color’, exploring important issues facing the South after its Reconstruction. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents Harris’ complete works, with numerous illustrations, many rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

    Every great author started out as a kid. Before the best sellers, fan clubs, and beloved stories we know today, the world's most celebrated writers had regular-kid problems just like you. Sam Clemens (aka Mark Twain) loved to skip school and make mischief, with his best friend Tom, of course! A young J. R. R. Tolkien was bitten by a huge tarantula — or as he called it, "a spider as big as a dragon." Toddler Zora Neale Hurston took her first steps when a wild hog entered her house and started chasing her! Kid Authors tells the stories of a diverse and inclusive cast that includes Roald Dahl, Beverly Cleary, J. K. Rowling, Jules Verne, Lewis Carroll, and Stan Lee.

    A Complete Summary of Sell Like Crazy 
    If you are passionate about the sales and marketing world, perhaps you have already met a customer who is difficult to please when it comes to presenting your product or offering your services. It is common to believe that efficiency, which surely identifies you totally, is a guarantee to close sales and business with potential customers. Many times, believing that doing everything right will lead you directly to success is a mentality that stagnates us and generates frustration when we do not perceive the results we want immediately. In the same way, starting in the sales and trade world can be very intimidating and can generate some mistakes at the pace. The most important thing is to maintain the best attitude in the world and not only have a positive mentality, instead create effective strategies that will allow you to avoid the objections that stand in your way or, in the worst case, learn to manage them and not let them hinder your business. 
    This book can help you with the possible objections that any client may face to your proposals and you will acquire a basic understanding of them, since understanding the other is the first step to approach him or her, so reflecting on the needs of your clients and why they might reject you will help you to respond assertively and not do so defensively and inefficiently. Furthermore, it is important to understand that an objection can give us enough information to improve the product or actively convince the client, everything depends on our receptivity to the objection and to the words of the other who is refusing, but who is only exposing his most elementary needs.

Clever as a magician, he does—but the curse has tricks of its own for Run-Run.
