Or send them to a sales course. My late father said that during the Great Depression the families of successful salesmen had plenty of food, new cars, nice clothes and more.

You haven't heard of "sales 2.0"?

Means we don't need many salesmen anymore, because you can go online and correspond directly with people who bought what you're thinking of buying, so you can learn whether they're happy with the purchase and whether you should buy it, too.

And if you don't like that item, you can quickly locate other products of that type that people are happy to own without talking to a salesman.

I'm telling you, we are all screwed.

I don’t think a lot of products and services will be able to be sold that way.

Well it isn’t only technology.....it’s that people who have “served” the public are pretty fed up with how demanding and rude the public has become.

Having worked with the public for several years I’ve seen it change drastically. Rather than see you as a “help” they see you as their own personal “servant” they can use and abuse. Woman shoppers are the absolute worst today..not only rude and condescending to clerks but they are equally so to other customers.

I am leaving serving the public very soon for those reasons. Will be great going into work and not having to deal with them!
