Top Salespeople: The Zen Master

As a young man, Philippe Martin left his home in the Lorraine region of France with only a mattress strapped to the roof of his car.

Now, he sells more than 200 Porsches and other luxury cars in Naples every year.

Martin says he didn't excel in school, and after the mandatory stint in the military (he was a soccer player on the French Army team) he and his young bride drove to the French Riviera in search of a new life. “We left with nothing,” he chuckles, except for the mattress.
