Sales Bole Toh!!!!!

They say, when someone has tasted the waters of sales profession, nothing else tastes better, even Smirnofs turn out to be turn offs. Here are some reasons why..

1. Skill - At the tender age of early twenties, you tend to be career oriented. Every Tom, D**k (No expicits in my blog, got huge female fan following) and Harry has an opinion about what you should do. But inside, around twenty something meters deep down but above your knees, you know that you are brought up with no particular skills, you can not design bridges, work floor people call you shit head, while making purchases people come sell you tubelight starters calling it high tech machinery, you recruit people who never show up after the first day, you find out that spindle end bearing seal malfunctioned whereas it was a simple case of someone putting gum instead of lubricating oil and hence choose sales. Wherein, with many of alikes around, you just happen to make a hit at times.


2. Flexibility - No fixed working hours

Boss: You come half an hour after me and leave an hour before I do, is it your fathers company???

Employee: He is eyeing it actually, but will not buy it till you guys get rid of my kind of people.



3. Sales is about parties.

Thursday Morning - Boss dies of natural cause

Crew: Hooray!!! Long Weekend.

Thursday Afternoon - New Boss appointed

Crew: Boss, promotion party tomorrow, please dont call ex bosses family, might be grieving you see. Another party next weekend, they should not feel left out.


4. Company Phone

Tic Tac Toe with darling

Darling: Put my cross in the bottom left box

Sales Employee: Ok. Booooottaaaam..... Now Leeeeeffffft.... oh but it goes out of my paper sheet.

Darling: Is there any game you can play on phone?????

Sales Employee: Yes. Snake 2.


5. Branding and love for the company

Pandya: Yesterday I went by kingfisher flight, you know they had our chewing gums

Bhatia: You mean they give our gums on board
(Sharma Smirks)
Pandya : No there was one stuck on the toilet flush.

Bhatia: How did you know it was ours?

Pandya: Sharma went before me.


6. Tactics & smart answers

Sales guy pondering - what do you call a product which just occupies space and smells bad?

Sales guy to Sharma - what was you name again?

Sharma - I don't like where it is heading.


7. Customer Relationship

Sharma - "According to my marketing research, 90% of your customers fantasize about beating you to death with your stupid product"

Sales Guy - "What about the other 10%"

Sharma - "They asked for your company address but didnt say why"

8. Back support from factory

Sales guy to Engineer - "My customer wants a product which works as satellite during the day time and as room freshner during night. I could be carried in shirt pocket and has to have nuclear missile launch button as add on"

Slap!!!

Sales guy - "Ok. I will try to pursue him on our standard pen holder"
