Market pitchers adeptly transform bare ground into bustling sales environments using their charisma and a touch of psychology to entice passers-by. Their skills rival those of top salespeople, politicians, and professional persuaders. Between 1984 and 1994, sociologists Clark and Pinch recorded over 75 pitching routines across the UK, Europe, and the US, capturing how these traders attract crowds, demonstrate goods, negotiate deals, and handle difficult customers. Their research unveils the reasons behind the success of these market traders, both in and out of the marketplace. By comparing their findings with traditional sales methods—such as TV home shopping and grassroots selling techniques—the authors extract valuable lessons applicable to marketing, advertising, and persuasion. In this updated edition, they explore why market pitching seems to be fading and how many of the studied pitchers have thrived in other careers. This engaging and insightful work is a must-read for anyone interested in the dynamics of real-life selling. The authors’ extensive observations provide a unique perspective on the art of persuasion, making it both an informative and entertaining guide. As noted by experts, the book serves as a brilliant example of participant observation, shedding light on the extraordinary feats of skilled salespeople in challenging environments.

Nel 1956 il ventitreenne Colin Clark, fresco di laurea oxfordiana, accettò di buon grado l'incarico di "trovarobe" sul set di Il principe e la ballerina , con Laurence Olivier e Marilyn Monroe. Si trovò così a essere testimone della confusione della bellissima diva, fresca di nozze con Arthur Miller, spesso sotto effetto di psicofarmaci, perennemente in ritardo, di contro all'ossessiva puntualità dell'iperprofessionale e molto britannico Olivier. Ma soprattutto si trovò a trascorrere un'inaspettata settimana "in fuga" con Marilyn, attraverso la campagna inglese: proprio lui, il più giovane e inesperto delle tante persone che la attorniavano sul set, si era infatti guadagnato la fiducia e l'affetto dell'attrice, diventando il suo confidente, il suo sostegno, il suo alleato. E, immancabilmente, innamorandosene un po'... Nelle pagine di questo diario, dal quale è stato tratto anche il film Marilyn interpretato da Michelle Williams, Clark ci offre un ritratto intimo ed emozionante di una delle donne più desiderate e affascinanti di sempre.
