Lefteris is an experienced salesman, dedicated to his work and to the store he manages as if it were his own. He\'s one of those salesmen who can read the customer and apply the most appropriate sales technique to convince them – techniques he does not hesitate to narrate in a peculiar and unexpected short sales course.
