I detest sales weasels for the manipulative exploitve nature of their entire field.
Not all sales people fit the caricature of some slimy liar.
Sales is one of the few professions that compensates people’s skills and hard work proportionately. They’re not ceos who manage people like livestock.
I think there's an argument to be made that actively manufacturing a need to consume a product that was previously unnecessary purely to create profit is somewhat manipulative. The things I need usually don't need to be actively sold to me, on account of how I need them.
lmao at dressing up manipulation and deception as "skills" utilizing "hard work". sales people aren't compensated for hard work. they are compensated for moving product. that can be extremely easy if one has the skillset of "lacking compunction".
just like all cops are bastards, all sales people are all dirtbags. sure, go make that cake. just don't think anyone else is gonna respect you for it. if they tell you otherwise, they're selling you something.
I did b2b sales so I might be biased. Have long since left.
Most of my job was difficult as I needed to identify a business' needs to understand if the product I was selling would work for them, or would work better than a competitor's product (across many dimensions such as lead times, service, and price). Then I would try and sell it to them. The pitch was just educational because I had to represent the products honestly. Manufacturing inputs cannot be lied about and the relationship would hopefully be long term. The job was technically and socially demanding, and while it might not exist as a "sales" role in a communist mode of production it will definitely still be needed to facilitate production.
I highly, highly doubt you’d find it easy regardless of how dismissive you are of what I’m sure you’d refer to as ‘soft skills’
Lol are you in High school? You really thought you had me with my desire to be ‘respected’
But most are because that's how you do the job best
They don't manage people but they sure manipulate their clients
No hate if you go into the field though. I'm fucking with a billion+ people's personal private photos at work I have no right
Seems like you already have your mind made up about going into sales. Good luck.
