My late father was born in 1925 and lived through the Depression. He told me several times that successful salesmen had money while most people were near starvation. One can learn sales at short seminars, on the Internet or through a sort of apprenticeship. No degree is required in most sales positions.
With fewer people working, who are these ace salespeople going to sell anything to?
To be good at sales, you have to have the knack, it isn’t something that just anyone can do.
A good example is the days of door to door sales, almost none of those people could sale, and classes couldn’t change them, I saw hundreds and hundreds come and go.
I also saw the old giants of the pre-3 day cancellation clause days come and go, they never adapted to the laws being passed, giving customers 3 days to cancel.
Boiler rooms are the same, very few people can do well, sales is extremely difficult, or else everyone would be selling cars and aluminum siding, or whatever it is today, and begging to work on commission.
I’ve been in sales for 27 years. I have always made money. The product doesn’t matter.
