1. Salesmen make visions happen. Based from experience, you'll never last in sales if you don't have that burning desire to make a vision happen. A salesman's hurdles directly reflect the way they move, how fueled they are to face each day in search of clients no matter how hard and daunting it is, and the strength they subconsciously acquire every day where rolling with the punches is like a baptism of fire to get you closer on making a sale.
2. They are great storytellers! As most of my close friends know, writing (no matter how scattered my thoughts are or how dramatic my posts may be) keeps me sane. When I can write something well and good, it gives me the assurance that I am in control with my life. What's more cool about writing is you paint a picture inside people's minds or tell a story in an orderly manner. I love writing and interacting with people; but let's face the fact that ideal writers are not ready to accept: passion for writing can only take you so far financially and practically. That's what I like about Sales --you share a story after story relevant to the product you offer, and then you get paid for it reasonably. Talking to clients should feel like you're just telling a story. I love to see myself some time soon to interact with my clients by being their story teller-slash-property-adviser. I'm more on writing stuff when I want to share my perceptions, but I think Sales is a good avenue to develop my speech communication properly. :)
3. Salesmen have great stories to tell. As a story teller and the everyday interaction with different people that comes with the job, you can learn so much while talking to them --may it be the economy, stocks, business, culture, fashion and even the latest trends in town! Name it. I love how well-rounded you can be in this industry. Even on a personal level, if you ask how successful salesmen's lives turned around and what kind of hurdles they had to face, their life stories are so inspiring and energizing!
4. Strong Character is a requirement --or at least you'll learn along the way how. A colleague of mine described her job as a test and constant development of character. Everyday, you put yourself out there with the thought that there is a certain market for what you're offering and you can easily penetrate the world as your oyster. But then you realize it's not that easy. There are boundaries that should strictly be respected, and limitations that will test your flexibility and preparedness. However, no matter how the turn of events at the end of the day success or failure, you are sure to learn something new. :) it's what keeps you on your feet!
5. Successful salesmen have the best attitude. In order to survive life, generally speaking, you have to adjust your outlook on different cases. And come to think of it, that's every successful person's key. If you cannot control the situation, control the way you view it.
I can go on and on about how I love my job and the people that surrounds me at the office despite the stress, but I guess more importantly, this is my way of reminding myself how bad I want to succeed on this area, how my gut tells me that no matter how hard and competitive this industry is, I'll be just fine. :) I can feel I'll be one of the bests on this and I can carry this label well despite all the negativity and discrimination that connote this opportunity. :) Above all, I am thankful for my teammates for inspiring me to be better everyday even on low times when I almost gave up on myself. :)
