When i was young, i seldom think to be a salesperson. Because i do not think i can sell anything to a totally stangers. For i am afraid of talking with strangers. Actually, i think i am afraid of being refused by others.
After years studying and working outside, especially working as customer service, i am kinds of liking to communcate with different people. I can gain the sense of achievement once clients says thank you to me. Happy is a feeling i gained once got that thank you words.
This is a special thing.
After the customer service, i choosed sales person to make a difference. I have heard before that sales person do have a lot of sales target to meet, so there is no doubt it is a stressed work with high presure same as salary.
One pain, one gain. I haven't experienced before, but now i sensed it by myself. Target, target, sales volumn. Sometimes, stressed me and makes me felt some kinds of crazy.
This is totally a new experience to me. I am working. Though i am still wonder why the sale target is so different from the previous season. 30 PCS last season, 100 pcs this season. Not peak season included. Ok, pressure pushes us forward. Without pressure, we don't know where we ends. With pressure, we know there is no end for us.

There are two ways to see this. One is that as a beginner you were given lower expectations. Now that you have experience and training you should be able to sell three times the numbers of a beginner. This can be good.
The bad way to see this is if you keep seeing impossible goals: 30, then 100, then 300 or 400?
A sales person can be viewed as a valuable worker by the business.
Or, the business can view the salesperson like a piece of machinery to be used until it is broken. If you begin to see unreasonable pressure you will know that you are not a person to them, but only a tool that they will own until it can't help them any more. Then it is time to use your sales experience in a place that you will be appreciated and treated like a person.
