Answer 3

Profession is made from the word Profit and the word session. So Sales is more of a Profession then anything else! If you don't like sales you're in the wrong Profession. Go find another Profession, I'm in Sales and I like it. I have my own website.. www.dollardaysplus.biz
I work whenever I want. I take holidays whenever I want. Selling door to door you get to meet people. Mailorder selling is great too!
If I weren't into sales then I'd be into Advertising business. If you're not into sales then find a different profession.. don't knock Sales.. it's great it's fun!

Answer 4

I have worked in sales, and yes it is difficult, the people are treated like dirt, and there is a very high turnover in jobs. However, if sales is the type of job that a person does for their whole working life, then we should respect them and call it a profession. After all ,they hopefully have learned to sell better, it is through talent and practice that a person sells well. A good salesperson is an artist who quickly reads the customer and changes her projected personality and pitch to match that customer. Growing up in Atlantic City watching the pitchmen there was a fantastic education in human psychology and sales techniques.

Answer 5

I'm in sales too and it can be really stressful. It is a profession in as much as it takes skill to think on your feet, face rejection over and over, as well as being able to listen enough to figure out what your customer needs.

Maybe you should try using the web to help your sales increase.
That is what I am working on. Why should big companies be the only ones going global?

Answer 6

A good sales person in the right industry and job can make as much money as a Doctor or Lawyer. It is one of the few careers that literally lets you determine how much money you will make. If you can put up with all of the negatives involved; working weekends and holidays, high pressure, etc, it is a great job.

Answer 7

Im in sales too...but the truth is, its not the worst profession, its one of the most stressful ones...you know just as well as I do that we get these moron customers more often than we'd like...
but, if you think about it, sales is also the one for sure place, that gives us room for growth and possible management options one day...its tough, but isnt everything else in life hard as well?
anywhere you want to apply to, when they have seen that you work in retail or sales, they automatically know that you have good communications skills, good customer skills, product knowledge..ect ect...your only setting yourself up for a more impressive resume if you ask me....good luck and always look at the brighter sides to things...there is a positive for every single negative aspect...remember that :)

Answer 8

Some people are just not cut out for sales, some fit into it like a glove. If you don't feel it is right for you, then get out or try selling something different. Personally, I am not cut out for selling certain things.

Good luck

Answer 9

Depending on how good you are, you may be making more $ than most of the people in your company. Also, good sales people often have the best job security- you are directly in the revenue stream- it's harder to get rid of you.

Answer 10

It's not as bad as, say, harvesting crops by hand in 100-degree heat. Many people do sales as their life's work.

If you're unhappy in sales, or any other profession, then you should do something else.

Answer 11
