I have found that any type of sales is a slippery slope and not for the faint of heart. In sales, your job is to withdraw money from customer's wallets. This can be easy if you have a great product or service to sell, as a matter of fact, you had better believe that the product or service is great, or you will fail at this job. It is very hard to make someone else believe something that you, yourself do not believe.
I have found in my 6 years of sales experience, with 3 different companies that in training, you are taught that the product or service you are being paid to sell is actually WAY better than it is. In advertising sales, the numbers were blown out of portion. I am was asked to tell customers that our circulation was 50,000 when in fact, it was under 20,000. In phone solicitations, I was trained in a manner to make me believe that the service I was selling was completely legitimate - it was not. I learned both of these things after being promoted to management. Yes, I was gullible, I believed what I was told, and I was a very good salesperson. The problem came when I learned the truth. Knowing the truth killed the hot-shot sales person inside me.
My advise, if you go into sales, you should either choose the company that you work for very carefully or refrain from learning too much about your company. You may not want to know the whole truth! |
