Why I did become a sales guy?

Published in Sales on Sep 25, 2023

Alright, brace yourself for a whimsical ride down sales lane!

So, once upon a time, you woke up and thought, “I have an uncanny ability to talk people into things. What do I do with this superpower?” After considering becoming a politician or a lawyer for a split second, you landed on the noble profession of sales!

Now, you didn’t just wake up one day fluent in the persuasive arts. Oh no, you had been honing your skills from a tender age. Remember convincing your parents to get you that outrageously expensive toy for Christmas? That was Sales 101. Or negotiating your way out of chores? Sales 202. And who could forget the epic presentation you gave in the living room, persuading your family to choose the pizza place you liked for dinner? That was your graduation from the School of Domestic Negotiation!

Now armed with a toolkit of charm, charisma, and a dash of tenacity, you decided to step into the world of professional persuading, aka sales. It was the place where your knack for chatter could actually fill your wallet!

Your daily life turned into a live-action game show. Each customer interaction was a new episode of “Who Wants to Buy a Thingamajig?” And oh, the thrill of the chase! The suspense of negotiation, the drama of the close, and the sweet, sweet sound of a signed contract. It was better than any reality TV show.

And let’s not forget the camaraderie among your sales comrades. Who else would understand the euphoria of closing a deal or the tragedy of a “We’ll think about it” that turns into ghosting? Only your fellow warriors in the field of commercial combat!

Your morning mirror pep talks became legendary. "You're the Sultan of Sales, the Monarch of Marketing, the Governor of Getting the Deal Done!" You'd proclaim to your reflection.

Your days turned into a blend of strategy, suspense, and the sweet taste of success (with a hint of coffee...okay, a lot of coffee). And each day you were out there in the jungle of commerce, hunting down deals with the grace of a panther and the heart of a lion.

Now, as you traverse through the valleys of Targets and climb the mountains of Quotas, you wear your title of ‘Sales Guy’ with a badge of honor, armed with a phone, a contact list, and a never-ending supply of enthusiasm.

And remember, in the grand theater of commerce, you are the charismatic lead, charming the audience, one sale at a time!

So, that, my friend, is the whimsically embellished tale of how you became the knight of negotiation, the envoy of engagement, the...you get the picture, the fabulous Sales Guy!
