One other advantage is the pure meritocracy employed in these organizations. Eat what you kill. Not literally. Well...not all the time. You know what I mean. |

I especially liked the portion concerning efficient "production facilities" and "flexible" logistics management. Quote:
Pressure, value, and urgency. Almost like the Holy Trinity of sales, no? Although, I suppose based upon context, urgency and pressure can be interchanged based upon circumstantial conditions and direction. I absolutely agree with the notion of leadership encompassing varying qualities, having (I think I communicated this with you all) led a team at my healthcare analytics organization. I learned more there than I ever had concerning the workings of management and stakeholder-driven decisions, as well as decisions driven by fear and self-sustenance.

I laughed really hard at this. This is another awesome way to look at this entire situation, conversely. Surprisingly, I've also had a lot of things put into perspective from these last couple posts concerning the un-legitimized means of street capitalism.

Doing it to make money forces you to analyze what your saying and the different results from the minor changes you make. It enlightens you to what people really want to hear, what they really value, what makes them feel important, (which is more often than not, a buyer's highest need) what gets them to trust you, etc... Doing all that without lying or bullying is an art form. Verbiage take note of all your friends who "hate selling" and check out where they are in 10 years. If they are employed, i'd bet the lion's share are in retail or a cube farm. The smaller percentage may be in a professional position; Dr, Accounting, Engineer, etc... We sell our selves every day, whether it be our occupation, to advance ourselves within our occupation, to get better service from the wait staff, to get an upgrade on a flight seat, to get out of a ticket, etc.... every day. Those who excel at direct face to face sales have a fierce arrow in their quiver that can offer them piece of mind. The ability to go anywhere in the world and sell anything is a very reassuring quality to have as a core personalty trait. I can still hear my father saying... "if you can do that, you can control your own destiny."

Like the marathoning Cookie Monster said, sales experience teaches you a lot about yourself and how to deal with a wide array of people. It's not always an "honest" profession, haha. However, it is "honest" work. You don't produce. You don't get paid. Can't get any more honest than that. Sometimes I wish I stayed in professional sales after college, I was really good at it. |

All this business talk is funny to me. I always tell people that if my pay depended on sales, I would starve. Opposite end of the spectrum for sure.

Totally OT
I ran out of books to read and movies to watch. Too dizzy from pain meds to focus on my side project. Now watching "Pumping Iron" a classic film by Arnold.
1. My wife just said, "Omg, you're gay now? And laughed" 2. Guys is this gay? 3. Please suggest some good books to read "on tape" Thanks for the support. Btw, still pushing keto. Hovering 50-75 grams of carbs a day. Sucks. |

I love sales. It's the only time I can spend all day, in full Jewish Indian mode, without looking too out-of-place.
Experiencing sales, on either end, can teach a lot more than any book. |

Band of Brothers Kite Runner - exceptionally good in audio format because it's narrated by the author.

50-75, huh? Is that a normal range, for Keto? I assume all of the macronutrients are centered on proteins and fat.
