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.
People give up too early and too easily. Persistence is key. Everything else can be taught to anyone with an IQ over 65. I have been a sales manager and it’s about making x number of calls every day, which is a learning experience in itself. I’ve seen kids hired who knew NOTHING about sales and a year or two later were making six figures. But no, it’s not for everyone. No trade is. Just like the military or medicine. I’d be a terrible mechanic, my mind just doesn’t work that way.
