I'd probably be working retail playing video games in my ghetto apartment when I'm not scheduled. I have no skills. Sales saved my life. I still get anxiety thinking about what may happen if I can't keep selling. I have zero ability to do anything other than starve to death if I am unemployed.

With a degree in Geology / minor in physics, I'd say I would be a Geophysicist. #rockhardflex

Internal recruitment or married to an old billionaire (this one is still a possibility.)

I’d pursue a career in product/engineering. You’re either building or selling the product.

It would have to be a psychologist right? Isn't sales leadership basically the same thing?

If I had not gotten in to sales, I would more than likely still be building houses or farming and ranching. All three of which I absolutely love doing, but there are things that you learn from sales that you could never learn doing anything else. I would not change anything I love my job and the company I work for.

Hmm. Army most likely. However, if I decided to go through school as a kid I guess an engineer. Id probably hate that though.

Do you still wear a full suit to your 1st meeting with a prospect, or is that completely dust now and feel like a used car salesman?

Has anyone taken any sales training from the Sandler Sales System? My company is putting me through their program right now, and it seems like they say the same thing over and over again...?
