Why I STILL Love Sales

We can be honest – there is still a whole lot of ugly going on out there. You can start your day with the best attitude in the world, but it won’t be long before some mentally unstable distressed customer will want to take out their frustrations on you. These days, you can only expect the unexpected.

Now add to that the fact that the feeble rewards aren’t what they used to be. And the stress levels are higher. But at least we have to work longer hours to make up for it.

And then there’s the sales manager, who clearly wants to harass motivate you to even higher numbers, all so he can protect his own backside interests. And we won’t even get into the often-tyrannical demanding division manager. Don’t even get me started!

And for all that, I STILL love sales. Because at the end of the day a possibly lunatic stressed-out prospect still has a problem, and we as definitely lunatic sales professionals get to help them solve it.

Somehow the “yes” still makes it worthwhile, and completing the sale still brings a rush.

Dontcha think?
