I am a SalesMan

I have been thinking about this for a while now Finally I did it!! I own it. I have a Merc!!! Yippee

That's the potential excitement and hysteria that we create constantly through our work. While sales is what everyone is working for whether it is the CEO or the executive sitting miles away from the the management, be it the R&D head or the marketing head. We are all Selling to someone somewhere something. What makes my job any bit different from yours? Why are salesman hated for push selling ? I am so obsessed with the idea of selling and hopefully one day I will be able to sell anything and everything under the sun to someone who is willing to buy.

Some will, Some won't, So what Next....

What does a Sales guy typically do?

1. Paint a picture (the prettier, the fancier, the more sought after, the more elite, the more need based, the more can't do without, etc..)
2. Tease you (Aamir has it, Sachin has it, Wipro has it, Infosys has it, Where are you?)
3. I will Buy it if I were you
   
4. Buy it now & I Give you the world with it (upto 51% off)
5. Hey I own a Merc!!! Yippee (now deal with it)
   

Now What do we all do ?

1. Paint a Picture (The Concept of this design is to save more power, what if i make the pastry look like the Taj Mahal)
2. Tease you (This is how we are doing it today and changing it will make it look like this)
3. I wish I had the money to do it on my Own (Or Hope the Banks approved my loan)
4. If we start the project any later the cost of machinery and land will rise
5. Hey we did it!!! Yippee (the product fails deal with it)
   

We are all selling at all points to our parents, to our loved ones, to our boss, to our financiers, to our landlords, to everyone we meet, and I am sure I am not the first one to say this but who is more effective. What makes one different from the other. I guess that very ability of being different is what makes one more successful than the other.

There is a fantastic Ad by our own Aamir Khan for Toyota where he appears in different roles showcasing the same product and at the end of it he says "So what role are you playing today?"

I find an amazing connect with that Ad simply because it is so true. In whatever role we take up as an individual we all seem to be aiming for the same thing in different forms.

"We all need to serve somebody,
you might be a king but,
We all need to serve somebody......"

let me collect my thoughts and continue writing from here in sometime..
