Telling people you're a Salesperson is not what people do anymore apparently.
How do you explain your job to someone you just met? And how do you make it sound fancier?

I sell SaaS to people using a budget that exists in theory, but not in reality.
Oh, the budget hits home.
Ouch
I like the Barney Stinson approach, where you never actually tell anyone what you do. Be vague, yet ballin'.
Please.
I always say software sales because its simple. Then any follow up is what software and I say engineering and that's it. I used to be ashamed of saying I work in sales. Like I'm some kind of scammer or some shit. Now I don't care.
Haha! We’ve all been there!
Depends on the room.
1. If I want the conversation to end quickly- “I ask people I’ve never met for money.”
2. Looking for respect, but no questions- “I run revenue operations for a technology company.”
3. Humble and unconcerned with opinion (95% of the time) “I’m in sales.”

I used to tell people I was in tech, but that hasn't been cool in over a decade, and before that, we were the ruination of the region or something.
So I tell them I'm a corporate servant and I talk for a living.

Well, they say Honesty is the best policy.
I’m local to Vegas where the tech scene is pretty small so I tend to stick to simple vague terms lol
“I sell software for a tech company”
Most of the parents at my kids school are either lawyers, in healthcare or gaming so I just get the deer in headlights look and some go as far to think that I’m actually sitting at my keyboard coding away on the product lol

You ever see Wolf of Wall Street
I help financial institutions refine, redefine, and grow
I always say tech sales. short, effective, and usually doesn't bring up many questions.
Since it’s “just a title”.
I help people quantify pain and then they pay me to make it go away.
Or now that I’m a consultant
People pay lots of money for me to tell them what they already knew…but I can fix it and they don’t want to.

Honestly I just say I'm in sales. I don't say any more or any less.
I say software sales and am usually met with a blank stare
