You answered your own question before you asked it.
Dale Carnegie's book is quite a good one for a salesman.
Let's face it, we're all salemen some of the time.

Everyone has formulas for living.  The lucky ones discovered them
for themselves or their parents taught them at an early age.
Others grew up without understanding the unspoken social customs
of our society.  These self-help books give the latter group
a second chance.
