Yes, it is not an exaggeration, it is not a lie, it is and always will be a reality.
Through the years and speaking with my co-workers, family, and friends, I realize that sales for many people are not a recurring or important theme in their lives, moreover, some think that knowing how to sell would be a waste of money or time for them, since they are engineers, pilots, programmers, etc.
After thinking about it, here is my formal and very personal answer using my years of work and life experience to make it concrete.
Sales are everything, knowing how to sell is not only making a person buy a Pepsi or a car. Sales go much deeper in the life of each one. Sales mark at levels that many cannot notice, sales define how you are today.
Allow me to elaborate. Many of us have traveled a similar path. School then college and finally work.
School, when you are young, is everyone's world. You meet your first love, learn, mature, make friends and enemies, etc. But who decided where you would study? How was it taken? That's where sales come in, I'm sure they had other schools around you that were very different from each other with their advantages and disadvantages.
But the truth is that the institution managed to sell itself and it is because of that sale that you ended up in that school generating friendships, loves, and unique experiences of that school and focusing your life on a course.
Perhaps if you studied at an all-male or all-female college you would end up being an engineer, doctor, astronaut, or any career you could imagine.
However, now you are the person who reads this post thanks to sales, they dictated where you studied in your school, and the same pattern is repeated in the university and selection of your career, again we see how sales impact your life when you start looking for a job (For me a CV is nothing more than selling yourself if you do it right you can get into the company you want and the companies will fight for you and if you do it wrong, well, I think we all know what happens).
That is why I say that sales are the world, they dictate who you are, where you went, and where you will go, learning to sell and sell yourself has never been so important in this technological world and it does not matter who you are or what you do.
I would like to know your opinions about this.
Greetings.
