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.
