What this blog is...

At some point in life, we have all dealt with those people...

Those people that seems to always have only their own best interests in mind...

Those people that don't care what you want or what you need...

Those people who, like people in other industries, get a bad rap thanks to some bad apples...

Those people who get all the blame when something goes wrong but hardly any praise when things go right... Those people who only want your money and only sees you as $$$...

The almighty salesman/saleswoman/sales rep/sales consultant/whatever you want to call them.

Having worked in sales in some form since 2002, I've always toyed with the idea of writing something that explains the mind of the true salesperson and why they act the way they do. First a few of disclaimers:
(1) This is based solely on the experience and mindset of one man: myself. While I'd like to think I can speak for everyone, I simply can't. This is my viewpoint and only mine (except when noted).
(2) This is about (again, in my opinion) on how the TRUE salesperson thinks and acts. I'm speaking of salespeople that are looking for what I call "win-win" situations in which both the salesperson and the client "win."
(3) While I realize that I can't control what others think, I simply ask that the reader approaches this with an open mind. If you agree with what I say, good. If not, that's good too. As long as it is not insulting or discriminating, I'm totally open to feedback.

With that said, my next post will give you a little background information of my sales career.
