Why don't I advise young people to do sales?

Personally, as a young man, don't sell it unless you have to.

Three reasons why I don't advise young people to do sales.

1, sales transaction is difficult.

People who have just left society don't have much experience and face, which I know everyone should have experienced. The most important thing is that they can't speak, and it's easy to say the wrong thing. Although sales are more eloquent, what eloquence can you exercise without social experience? When you have certain social experience, you may be more suitable for sales.

It is difficult to change careers.

My cousin sells a house now, but he doesn't make money now. He wanted to change careers, but he soon found that after a year of sales, he seemed to have learned nothing, didn't learn professional skills, and gave up some of his previous skills. Whether he is really qualified for this major when looking for a job now is still unknown.

So unless you are excellent in this industry and get a promotion and salary increase, it is difficult to change careers. At that time, since someone will dig you up, it is difficult for ordinary people to be a sales manager all their lives, because managers are usually dug up from their peers, not promoted.

3. The richer the group's experience of different needs.

No matter what kind of sales you do, people will meet different people. You need your flexible ability, superb learning ability and adaptability, and you need a strong team as the backing to make orders. Sales, in particular, requires professional knowledge in your field, enough for you to study for a long time. If you are not strong enough inside, it is really difficult to become a successful salesman.

Conclusion: Although you choose a career you like, not for money, you won't do an industry you are not interested in for a long time. If you like to do sales, you should be mentally prepared, but I still insist on my idea and don't recommend young people to do sales.

My experience

What can you get from sales without hobbies? One month100000? Every year, many people flock to the sales industry, some get promoted and raised, and some leave sadly. Unlike other industries, sales is not a skill. Want to change careers? What can you do? Why do others want you?

I have met some people who made millions at a young age, and I have also met some people who have been promoted to management by their own efforts (making a lot of money), but at the same time they are under endless pressure, and those who are not suitable for this line will also suffer great pain. What's inappropriate? When my performance was poor, the director encouraged me, "When I was in sales, the leader said I was not suitable for sales", but when I was fired, the director said, "Do you think you are suitable for sales?"

Both words are correct. The former is to keep me going, and the latter is that I am really introverted and gentle, which makes me anxious to stick to customers (this is the only way to sell, and I still have to play emotional cards at first). I am willing to think, and I am willing to think more. Making phone calls consumes more brain power than others, and there will be performance pressure every month. Day after day, I will go to the office building. .....

I tried, and the final result was failure. The subject may have succeeded and become a glamorous sales director one day, but as a bystander, I still think it is prudent. For example, you are my friend and a reporter. In order to be famous, you should go to Syria for a field interview at this juncture. From the perspective of adventure, you can make a fortune if you survive. From an objective point of view, of course, it is not recommended. Even if you take a little risk, you can gain something

For example, the most famous legend in the sales field is Alibaba's Zhonggong Tiejun. Several Internet industry CEOs are from Didi founder Cheng Wei and Tongcheng. Wu Zhixiang, CEO of com, former Mei Tuan Gan, former public comment Lu Guangyu, and former market-gathering network Quoc Hoan Tran ... But during the expansion period of Ali, at least tens of thousands of sales were recruited, and there were so many excellent candidates among the tens of thousands, which was one in ten thousand, and the others were abandoned.

Faced with limited recruitment positions, graduates must lower their expectations in order to achieve employment smoothly. Some jobs have low thresholds, but they may get high salaries, such as sales.

But I honestly don't recommend young people to do sales. But now you will find that this kind of job is often the most unpopular among college students, whether in the talent market or at the campus job fair. But also many technical secondary school graduates, who don't like this kind of work.

1. The first is the treatment. Not everyone can reach the salary mentioned in the recruitment. More precisely, most people may only get lower wages. Graduates who are familiar with this industry may have experienced it. In every company, there are usually several "elites", and their performance is several times that of ordinary people. As long as they exist, it seems that other people's low salaries are taken for granted.

Secondly, this kind of work is usually unstable, and its position in the department of the unit seems to be inferior to others. The most obvious example is that in the same company, graduates from technical departments may become full members next month. The students in the sales department have not been insured for half a year. In many small enterprises, it may include the vast majority of employees who have neither considerable income nor welfare benefits such as five insurances.

Moreover, this position often requires entertainment, which means taking up a lot of personal time and energy. When recruiting, the interviewer may say: the job is flexible, if you can complete good performance, there is no fixed commute time. Experienced people will understand that the more so, the more it shows that there is no specific time to "get off work". Many graduates find it hard to accept overtime pay that they can't get in other jobs.

The real reason lies not only in hard work, but also in the fact that many graduates are "incapable" of sales.

This kind of post is now a profession that many students and parents don't recognize. It seems that no matter what education or major, you can get employment as long as you are willing. Except for a few famous enterprises, there is almost no threshold. But if you have really come into contact with this kind of work, you will understand that becoming a qualified salesperson is really not that simple. You may be able to "practice makes perfect" in terms of professional knowledge, but whether this position can be done well depends on other factors.

For example, communication skills, emotional intelligence and observation, and the ability to obtain information. This is often closely related to a person's inner personality, as well as family education methods and growth environment. Many students who lack these aspects want to change themselves through sales. In fact, they may be able to improve a little, but it is almost impossible to become an elite through this kind of training.

Therefore, for many graduates, the reasons why they are unwilling to do sales are based on various realities, including treatment, stability, work mode and so on. But the reason is not only hard work, sometimes most people don't have this ability.

Young people need to work hard to find a job that suits their personality, so it is easier to stick to it.

Sales work is sometimes like a "panacea", and many graduates who are unwilling to engage in their own majors choose to enter this industry because they are confused. The author believes that the more students in this situation, the more they need to be cautious. The threshold of sales work is relatively low, but it is very difficult to do it well, especially for students who have been looking forward to it for a long time on campus. They may find great resistance in their work, and in the end, they will not only fail to exercise their abilities, but also have doubts about themselves.
