You can respect a person without respecting their profession. I also serve the same dysfunction in much more widely respected ways, but my role is still part of the same cancer.
- kcplate 2y ago> without respecting their profession I’d venture to guess that almost everyone reading this thread owes their job to talented salespeople and more importantly the sales profession as a whole. I respect them and their profession because it’s kept my family fed for nearly 40 years. I am not a salesperson, but they sure as shit sell the things I build. I need them more than they need me because talent salespeople can sell nearly anything.
- saagarjha 2y agoThere’s selling things you build and selling things to people who don’t need it. You don’t have to feel good about things that feed you.
- kcplate 2y agoHuh? There are very few things that are “salesperson sold” today that are needed. People just go buy what they need. Pretty much if there is a salesperson involved today it’s an item that is not needed/critical to your life. That’s the whole point of a salesperson, convince you to buy something you don’t necessarily need.
