Sales Myth: Selling is an Easy Way to Make Big Money
Truth: Selling is exhilarating, challenging, complex and a never ending puzzle even if you have all the infrastructure, leads and client support you could imagine. But an effortless road to riches it definitely is not.
Choose big ticket complex sales as a career only if you:
- Are creative
- Have a strong drive to succeed
- Are blessed with endless stamina
- Don’t necessarily need or want a personal life at this stage
- Have very strong boundaries to go with your excellent management skillsÂ
- Enjoy excellent diplomatic skills
- A manager or business owner with decent communication and management skills
There is very good money to be made as a sales professional, but you will earn every penny with long days, travel, frustration and infrastructure or growth challenges. You will also rarely be bored.
