Sales is Job 1

by Bill Caskey on February 13, 2009

Forbes said it a few months ago and now the Jobfox report says it: The profession of sales is where to be.

This is from July of ‘08, but thought you’d like to see it. Virtually every client we have in our training business is hiring good sales people–not average ones–but good ones. So the lesson is “get to be a good sales person” and you’ll never go hungry. 

And if you’re having trouble, then you must look at your skills. Are you keeping them up? How much time per day do you spend working on yourself (vs. the time you spend watching TV or surfing the web)? Are you in mastermind groups that push and shove you upward? Are you seeking advice from experts or trying to do it yourself (or worse, taking advice from someone who’s never proven they can do it)?

In a way, the sales professional (that one who really wants to find and solve problems for people, is our way out of our woes.
