What’s the Marxist view of the field of Sales and Sales people? (hexbear.net)

I want to go into sales because they seem to earn a shit ton of money.

Are sales folks proles? Labor aristocracy?

Would I be a class traitor for selling something and earning, like, 10x more than the artist/engineer/ laborer who makes that thing?

Screw the class analysis on sales people. I'll forever hate them cause they always lie to me to sell their crap. Not to mention the instant something doesn't go according to their script after the sale was made like logistically issues, they start being incredibly rude to the point of literally screaming at me because they already closed the deal

They're also super fake and annoying to talk to at work as coworkers

This makes perfect sense once you see the demographics (overwhelmingly white men) and learn about the job/training/hustle culture

Their job is to reduce every human interaction to a robotic mindgame to maximize their sales numbers
