honestly this is a wild dumb post but curious what motivates the masses of sales peopleย
Why do we do this dumb job?
why do you do sales?

What the fuck else am I gonna do? Where else can I get paid for working HARDER?
Honestly I can't seem myself doing anything else for a while.

Ngl, its the autonomy and flexibility. Money obvs big thing but I got confidence I could make it doing other things but if you think sales is stressful, running your own gigg is sure as hell a lot more stressful

Although I do question it almost daily the answer is simple. Low barrier to entry for the amount of money you make and have the potential to make us insane.

Money.
But I also feel as though it improves my conversation skills.
I find that I have learned more about my form of communication from doing my job, more than anything else.

Sales has always been my dream. And I donโt know why I want it so bad.
Probably because of independency compared to other jobs.

Because sales was more predictable and way less hours than what I was doing. plus the money vs. time was a better return

If you aint motivated by money as a sales person, then you are not a sales person imo. Working my ass off to buy real estate (getting my 2th property next month) โ so, yea. that's what motivates me, getting hella lot of money.
