I heartily dislike salesmen

[bcoop]

They're all a bunch of know nothing assholes. I hate customers even more. That's all, carry on.

I'm going American Beauty style, quitting my job and giving up my responsibility to be a fry cook.


I am in sales. I sell to other sales people, who sell to end users. Those sales people are responsible for 99.9% of my headaches, my impending stroke(s), and all of my gray hair. Most of them are fucking idiots, who think they know everything and they don't really know anything.

Nope, I'm good. It's a large number of them that I have a problem with. Don't get me wrong, they aren't all bad. There's just very few left like me. Call me fucking crazy, but I actually listen to people and point them in the direction of what they need, even if its something I don't represent. I'm not going to sell someone a rake to dig a hole, just for the purposes of volume.

Is it an age thing?

Que?

problem with sales is that it does not use any creative thinking IMO. you want this? buy it for this much. oh is that too much? let me give you a "deal" and make it cheaper. all they are doing is cutting down on their profit margin so you buy whatever it is they are selling. the product should sell themselves and the 'sales' people should just be taking/processing orders.




buuuuuuuuut i'm just a pipe monkey who swings wrenches all day so what do i know

What you're describing is an order taker, or a lazy salesperson. Good salespeople are typically much more creative than the average person. Some of them can get far without even being very intelligent, but they are indeed creative.

Not in sales but my boss called me an Asshole yesterday. Said he knew I was an asshole for the past 4 years and knew I was an asshole when he rehired me back in August. He is okay with me being an asshole. So not only salesmen can be assholes; others can too.
