With nothing to his name, Richard,  a young Londoner and failed door to door salesman, stalked by rejection , tumbles into a global industry awash with riches. From the encyclopaedia cold call to the Manhattan boardroom it would be a fight of his life to retain his soul in face of rampant narcissism, greed and deception.  
The shock of the first female account manager - Virginia Summersides (Ginny)  alongside emerging  computerisation meant the 70s Salesman was fast becoming an endangered species.
