Serving, Not Selling: A Grateful Reflection

Recognize the Person First—Lessons from the Road

So how’s your week going?  I’ve been really crazy busy.  A lot of people think that sales people don’t do anything but take people out to eat and play.  And others think that they are out to make a fast buck.  Yes, let’s keep that money rolling in.  That is the way that greasy sales people are.

I am here to tell you that you know how the saying goes, “A few spoiled apples spoil the bunch.”  Yep, they are giving us sales people who do truly care about our customers a bad name.

I have been in sales for over 30 years.  I have seen most of the United States because of one job or another.  I am very grateful for all the many people who have crossed my path.  There are so many beautiful people out there.  Rarely have I met a customer who was difficult or hard to work with.  Most customers like all people want to be recognized first as a person then who they work for.

I have never made much money.  But, it paid my bills and in the end that is more than many.  I have been blessed.  I have a roof over my head, and ends have always been met. 

“If you’ve ever felt unseen in a sales conversation, this space is for you”?
