The Salesman of the Century

Written by Ron Popeil

Narrated by Ron Popeil

Long before Shark Tank, there was Ron Popeil, the man who demonstrated products on the small screen with enthusiasm and a mega-watt smile. For five decades, the late-night, rapid-fire pitchman was a television staple, and virtually every corner of America knew who he was and bought in the millions the “ indispensable” products he hawked. Here is the rags-to-riches story of Popeil, the man who sliced, diced, and julienned his way into our hearts and wallets— packed with hands-on, nuts-and-bolts guidance on how anyone with a product idea can make big money.
