Did he ever imagine he'd be in sales, let alone teaching it? Nope.Very few people wanted to be in sales as a kid (there's always the odd exception, so bully for you!). They wanted to be astronauts, lawyers, doctors etc - so what happened, how did they end up in sales?They grew up, got a degree in Sports Psychology and realised that in the real world no-one would pay them for that knowledge. They needed a job. Who's always hiring? That's right, Sales.They're young, thin, look good in a suit and can string a sentence together whilst not dribbling in the interview. That's all you need to qualify as a sales professional. So, the fact most people are doing a role that deep down they never wanted to do explains why so many are mediocre to average, at best.That hurts, but it’s also true. This is why he’s hated!
