Ben Feldman (September 7, 1912 – November 7, 1993) was an American businessman and one of the most prolific salespeople in history.
[1][2] As early as 1979, Feldman had sold more life insurance than anyone in history.
He once held the world record for the most products sold (by value) by a salesman in a career, a year ($100,000,000), and in a single day ($20,000,000).
Near the end of his career, his annual commission totals were over $1,000,000 per year.
Born in New York City on September 7, 1912[5] as one of nine children to Isaac and Bertha Dardick Feldman (who were Russian Jewish immigrants[4]), he began in sales when the family moved to Salineville, Ohio to open a wholesale poultry business.
