Direction: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given at the end by picking out the most . suitable response to each question.
Not all those who know something about offering goods to customers or even about selling can become real salesmen. You cannot become a real salesman unless you have real strength, the strength to face people who do not want to face salesman, the strength to face and master the demands of a strenuous: profession, the strength to find and face their own shortcomings and correct them. Too many people never realize these facts. Selling is a profession that cannot be learned in the flick of an eyelid. Being tired of some other job does not make a man into a salesman; neither does the vague hope of making money in a hurry. Selling demands professional knowledge just as any other profession does. It is no job for people who just want to pickup easy money. The selling career is an exciting career but it is hard and exacting too. The salesman’s personality is under a pressure that most people cannot take. He must feel at ease, cordial and friendly in the presence of people who have little or no wish to see or to listen to him. In the face of their hesitation he has to make them aware of needs which they did not realize and on which they quite likely do not want to spend money.
21. Selling is a profession
that can be learned in a business college.
that depends solely on your ability to see things.
that is though challenging and demands great strength.
None of the above.
22. Selling is not a profession
for people who have no training at a business college.
for those who cannot learn things at a flick of an eyelid.
for those who are tired of their job and want to make a fast buck.
for those who are not destined to be salesman.
23. Selling is an exciting career but it
is full of uncertainty
offers avenues for making easy money
is quite risky
is exacting and demanding
24. A salesman should be confident, friendly and cordial.
even under grave provocation.
for these are the essential qualities of this profession.
to those who treat him as an unwelcome intruder.
none of the above.
25. A successful salesman is one who
makes you aware of your needs and caters for them.
makes you buy what you had not planned to buy,
sells you useful articles at your door step.
makes you treat him as an honored guest.
