A Career in Sales.

A Career in Sales! 

Who chose whom?

So, you’ve chosen a career in SALES? –

Or would it be more correct to say that … a career in SALES has chosen you…??

Think about it?! When you were at school or college and someone asked people what they were studying you’d get responses like Lawyer, Teacher, Doctor, Electrician, Engineer right? Did anyone ever say … SALESPERSON?? It never happened in my experience and no one has ever responded that they’d heard it either…!!

…and yet – here we are….!!!

…in SALES!!…

How did that happen…??

Almost daily I hear things like…” SALES found me!” or “SALES chose me?”, “I kinda just fell into SALES!”

Intrinsically there is nothing at all wrong with these responses, however one would probably not often hear someone say, “medicine found me…!” or “I kinda fell into Electrical engineering!”, I never planned to be a teacher!!”

The result …?? The vast majority of people don’t view SALES as a profession, or SALESPEOPLE as professionals!!…INCLUDING many SALESPEOPLE!!! Sales becomes an easy entry point onto a company and so many folks will sell until another “firm” offer gets put on the table. I’ve heard it said on way more than one occasion that SALES is great work until a “proper” job comes along!

I’d like to suggest that SALES is in every way just as much a profession and SALESPEOPLE (if they want) can be just as professional as any other endeavor in the market place. In the same way that a person can learn to be a doctor, engineer or teacher, so a SALESPERSON can learn and develop themselves to become a SALES PROFESSIONAL.

I say ,”Choose SALES!” – “decide to become the best and dominate your industry or sector!”. Choose today to become a professional SALESPERSON, not only will you experience a personal boost but so will your clients and employer.

In the same way that people in other professions become experts and pioneers in their field , so SALESPEOPLE can also become experts in their field and build a “practice” where their clients are cared for, serviced and assisted, but where the SALESPEOPLE themselves are trusted, appreciated and viewed as experts.

Oh, and did I mention that expert SALESPEOPLE also earn what their expertise inspires? Expert SALESPEOPLE always earn more than average SALESPEOPLE!!

Jump start you own or your team’s Professional SALES potential…

Go for it ..!!
