Sales is the garbage can of jobs.
The bin everybody threw their trash into.
I am that degenerate trash nobody wanted that ended up in sales.
If you're in sales, you just might be too.
We couldn't get into Stanford, and didn't get that kush VC internship.
We weren't smart enough or disciplined enough to go to med school or law school.
Our liberal arts degrees cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars and often proved worthless.
We struggled. We got in trouble, made terrible decisions, and are full of flaws and weakness.
Our families still tell us there’s time to get a respectable job.
The MBAs and Engineers who raise our targets often don't respect our function and we’re at risk of being automated away.
And yet here we stand.
We refuse to give up.
We are resilient and relentless.
We wake every single day to do what others can’t or won't do themselves.
Here we are - using our creativity, problem solving and passion to turn this profession on its head, to do the impossible.
Here we are - growing and developing our careers, impacting lives all around us, and out-earning everybody who told us we would never amount to a thing.
I see you my fellow degenerates.
I implore you to know your worth, salespeople and sales leaders.
And use their condescension as fuel for your fire.
