Ode to sales (Dec 31, 2021)

Sales is a specific skill you can accrue over time and yet it makes full utilization of your wide variety of skills and interests. Do you understand a little bit about business, technology, engineering, economics, design, a company’s mission, philosophy, psychology, statistics, math, various industries, politics, literature, specific life experience, travel, general wisdom? All of this will be employed in the act of helping someone else through sales. Do you know about random stuff like how to nanny a child, hobbyist marine aquariums, or basketball? Great, now you can relate to other people in unexpected ways

Do you have strong empathy? Do you have good listening skills? Can you communicate with other people in a way that they can understand? Can you take your comprehension of an idea and compress it and transmit it and then have it reconstructed in the other person's head perfectly like a ship in a bottle? This is sales
