I don't "pick up women",

Sales is only difficult when it comes to the "gut check". Some folks can't face walking into a room full of strangers and asking for money. Or even explaining how the new software works. Communication is the key. Complaints >> /dev/null. Grin!

Sales is only difficult when it comes to the "gut check".

What about the prospecting?
What about the pre-call planning?
What about the preperation of the presentation?
What about the service issues that must be dealt with while trying to sell?
What about the numbers that need to be hit, and then exceeded?
What about the boorish clients that you must tolerate since they are the purchasers?
What about the customers that can barely speak English, and look at you like you're the idiot?
What about the paperwork and analysis that must be done while everyone else is watching "Friends" or at the bar?
What about the ridiculous traffic and other nightmares if your territory is somewhere like NYC?
What about the competitor that brings in a bimbo/mimbo to steal your business ?(refer back to the boorish customer)
What about your customer service team that nowadays seems to be staffed by a bunch of ig-nants that can't wait until 5 o'clock so the can get the hell out of "work"?
What about the screaming you have to endure by customers that do not care that there was a "manufacturing problem" and their order is delayed?
What about the screaming customers blaming you because shippers cannot find CDL/Hazardous drivers to ship chemicals to the pharmaceutical company in Westchester Cty that had to shut down their core facility because they didn't recieve their 20 cases of methanol, acetonitrile, and acetone?
What about the increase in your forecast because your too successful, and making too much money?
What about when they cut a sales rep and make you take over their territory?
What about the feeling you get like you want to blow your brains out because your voicemail is full agian after just checking it two hours ago?
What about the customers that tell you that "sales is easy, you're always playing golf"
What about your commisions being taxed at ahigher rate because "you really don't need that money anyway"?

In short, a summation of why I left Fisher Scientific, and went back to doing mortgages...

I feel better now! ;)
