The Ultimate Sales Man

Here are few paragraphs from the book,

The title good salesman has always held a sort of prestige to it. Very few people have been able to acquire that title. You can’t learn how to be a good salesman in college. In fact some of the best salesman I’ve met didn’t even have a high school diploma. I find many college graduates stay away from sales because the playing field is level. A degree doesn’t determine how much money you will make.

I can honestly tell you there is no better profession than a salesman. Have you ever worked a 9-5 job that you felt didn’t pay you enough? I remember times when I’d work my butt off all week to get a measly $400-500 check at the end of the week. The work didn’t match my pay. When I would go to the boss and ask for a better position that paid more, there was always this college degree barrier.

With sales no one can tell you how much money to make. With some sales jobs you work your own hours. This is great, but I had a bad habit of working 1 day for about 8 hours and make a little over a thousand and disappear until the next week. Those one day work weeks are the best. I don’t suggest you do that. Work hard everyday because it pays off at the end of every week.
