Being a salesperson is a road full of rejections and failures, but your enthusiasm for your job will pay off sooner or later. Being in sales just isn’t a quitter’s game. Also, a sale is more about a client than about you. Why should someone buy your product? Put yourself in their shoes and you’ll start listening more than pitching. It’s all about making them feel important, and even if they reject you, don’t just walk away. Go the extra mile and find out why. At the end of the day, it’s all about how persistent you are.
