it's not about forcing yourself to be a good salesman, but rather about showcasing your skills, expertise, and personality in a genuine and authentic way

- paxys 2y agoEveryone in the world, including a million experienced programmers, are already showcasing their skills in a "genuine and authentic" way. Why are you better than anyone else for the job?
- ranger_danger 2y agoI don't think they are, and I don't think it's necessary (or possible) to be better than anyone else.
- HeyLaughingBoy 2y agoSeriously? Have you seen the absolute crap that some people produce? You really don't think "it's necessary (or possible) to be better than anyone else"? Race to the bottom, here we come!
- cinntaile 2y agoIt's nice to interpret someone's post in good faith, then he doesn't have to defend something he never said.
- HeyLaughingBoy 2y agoI'm struggling to understand how what I quoted could be taken any other way.
- ghaff 2y agoI assume there is some miscommunication happening in this thread but of course some people are more competent than others in a given field/role and if you disagree I'm not sure what to say.
- ranger_danger 2y agoI took "Why are you better than anyone else" to mean better than everyone else. Because the only other way I know to interpret it (as "why are you better than some other person you know nothing about and have no reference to compare to") didn't make sense to me. But maybe that's my own fault.
- ghaff 2y agoOf course, you're probably not better than everyone. But if you're not better than a random person it's probably a pretty miserable numbers game.
- endemic 2y ago'cos you put yourself out there
- HeyLaughingBoy 2y agoThat's exactly what a good salesperson is doing.
