LESSONS THAT YOU WILL LEARN FROM BECOMING A SALES PERSON

When you do a sales job, do you know that you can actually learn a lot from the job than you can ever learn from life itself. 

Very many billionaires out there were once salesmen just before they built their own empires and became billionaires. People like Mark Cuban, Warren Buffet were once salesmen before they became the billionaires and one of the richest people in the world.

  These successful people learnt some great lessons during the time when they were doing sales jobs and they became better people in their careers as business people.  

Today I would like to talk about some of the lessons that you can learn when you take on a sales job.

1. Grit

When you take on a sales job, you will more likely develop what some people call grit in your life.

 Grit is the ability to keep going even when you do feel like giving up on something that you are very passionate about.  

Grit is the drive that will push you to success when all things around you are falling apart and you feel like giving up on life. 

This is the behaviour that has pushed very many people to success in their careers especially the richest people in the world.  

When you are doing a sales job, you will most likely face rejection and a lot of it. 

If you can develop the ability to accept rejection in a positive way, you will most likely develop the positive attitude that will help you succeed in not only sales but also in life as a whole. 

One reason why I urge you to do a sales job is to help you develop grit in your life.

2. You will learn to listen to other people

The ability to listen to other people properly and then to be able to take care of their needs is one skill that will take you places in life.

 If you want to become successful in life, you will need to learn to listen to other people out there. 

This skill is very vital in the sales job and in order for a sales person to be able to seal a deal, he or she should be able to listen what their customers want and desire and you can only be able to know and understand these needs by listening to your customers properly. 

When you take up a sales job, you will most certainly learn how to listen to other people and also become a better person paying attention to other people’s needs and may be also find a way of helping them better.

 One thing you will learn when you take on a sales job is the skill of listening which is vital for your success in life.

3. Motivation comes from within

When you take on a sales job, you will learn that true motivation actually comes from within.  

There are some sales people out there who are motivated by the bonuses and freebies that they get after successfully reaching their targets but those type of sales people will usually give up immediately after they fail to make any sales. 

The sales people who are very successful at their jobs are always motivated from within themselves and not from their external environment. 

So if you start doing a sales job, you will learn to motivate yourself from within and this kind of habit will then make you successful in life with time.
