There is a Salesman in you !!!!!

It was a friend of mine, a B.Tech graduate, who ended up working as a salesman for a million-dollar company that got me thinking about this topic.

He was an excellent student during his college days, graduated with an impressive 73.4% mark, and was definitely the outlier among us in a fun way. I always thought he would go on to work for a big multinational corporation as a software developer. However, after completing his studies, he took some time off and then joined a startup company as a salesman. I would credit his efforts for significantly contributing to the company's success, allowing the CEO to proudly declare, "Yes, we are now a million-dollar company." He now earns more than a senior developer.

What sets this friend apart is that he never feels offended when someone calls him "just a salesman." Instead, he proudly states, "YES, I AM A SALESMAN."

I began to believe that there's a salesman in each of us. Consider a guy proposing to a lady – what is he doing if not marketing himself to win her over? However, we usually don't like to be labeled as salespeople, right? WHY?

Now, think about someone attending a job interview. They're essentially doing the same thing – making sure the interviewer selects them from the pool of candidates. They need to present the best version of themselves. Does that make them a salesman? I believe it does. But some argue that they were simply the right fit for the job, not salespeople, right?

Consider any situation in which you've passionately promoted yourself or something important to you, even to your loved ones. At the end of the day, no matter what you do or think, you are a "Salesman" in life. Embrace the fact that there is always a "Salesman" within you. Don't dwell on what others say about you. Be yourself and proudly embrace the "Salesman" in you.

YES, THERE IS A 'SALESMAN' IN YOU!!!!!!!
