The salary of sales is obviously high. Why do many people think that salespeople are worthless?

Participate in the semi-annual work summary meeting of XX product sales center. At the meeting, dozens of salespeople wore uniform clothes. They take turns to speak on stage to sum up their work, and report the sales data in the first half of the year and the work plan in the second half of the year in a modular way. As soon as they come on stage, they will shout: XX family, good morning/good afternoon! Then there was thunderous applause, and everyone replied: OK! Very good! Very good!

Does this scene look familiar? Amway convention? Chen Anzhi's speech on success? Or do young people like Tony, Jack, Jim and Amy in the barbershop on the street collectively fight for chicken blood?

I used to despise sales for the following reasons:

First, the entry threshold for sales is very low. The so-called "working in a big company" is similar to the story of young people entering a big company and giving their neighbors a long face. According to my dad, his neighbor's son worked in Baidu after graduating from college, which is a famous Internet company! And the result? There is no branch of Baidu in this city at all, but only an advertising agency of Baidu. The truth is that he is just a telemarketer with a monthly salary of two or three thousand; I also have a classmate. I heard that his family is very connected. After graduating from college, his father found him a job in a big city. This is amazing. When most students are still writing resumes and attending various job fairs, he has been accepted by big companies! What's the name of this company? Ding Xin Group! This name is a bit strange? It may not be strange to say another name, that is, "Master Kong", "Dicos" and "Quan Wei", which are all brands under the Ding Xin Group. My classmate, after graduating from college, worked as a salesman in Master Kong, selling iced black tea in stalls and shops all over the street. Later, when the weather was hot, my classmates couldn't bear the pain, so they hid in the Internet cafe and surfed the Internet. A few months later, his performance was bleak and he was finally expelled from the company.

There is also a classic online joke. Network celebrity "Feng Jie" claimed to work in a Fortune 500 company. In fact, she works as a cashier in a Carrefour supermarket in Shanghai. Carrefour is one of the top 500 companies in the world, so it seems that there is nothing wrong with calling it "I work in the top 500 companies in the world" for short.

Second, sales are hot pursuit and harassment. Since I bought a house n years ago, I have received an average of five harassing calls every day, including those who promote decoration, those who apply for loans, and various real estate agents who ask if your house is for sale. After N-3 years, I have my own car, and the average number of harassing calls I receive every day will increase. Do you want to apply for insurance? Do you want a car beauty salon? Mortgage and credit loans are still the main force.

The explosive growth of harassing calls is that I can receive at least 20 or 30 harassing calls a day after I register with industrial and commercial registration Company. Do you need a tax agent? Do you need a company loan? Do you need a receipt? Do you need an advertisement? Do you need to attend a lecture?

All kinds of promotional harassing calls are dazzling and unpredictable. Later, three companies were registered in Chongqing and Beijing, and the number of harassing calls they had to face reached a peak every day. Once, as long as it was a strange phone number, I was afraid to answer it.

Another time, I parked my car in front of the sales center, and a witty real estate salesman got in touch with me through my mobile phone number on the windshield, thus becoming friends with me and almost starting a long-distance running "love" with me. Later, after seeing through her identity and intentions, she continued to bombard me with text messages and phone calls.

Third, it is an indisputable fact that the sales staff are uneven and most of them are of low quality. Many people who can't find a job do sales, because the requirements for sales entry are often very low.

I once received some phone calls from some strange salespeople. They often can't even explain a set of sales words accurately and clearly on the phone. After listening for a long time, you don't know who he is or what he wants.

This is telemarketing, and the quality of many offline real estate/car sales is not much higher, maybe higher than that. When the property market is deserted, the property sales staff treat you as an uncle, with coffee, coke and tea. Come, sit down. When the property market is hot, I will ignore you when I enter the sales department. Why don't you introduce me with me? He looks at you and asks: Full payment or mortgage?

People who sell cars, especially luxury cars, tend to be lofty in appearance. It seems that Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi all belong to his own family. If you just want a 300,000-yuan entry-level BBA and keep touching the car, it is inevitable that he will despise you in his heart.
