Sales 101

Selling is just as much a skill as an art. A person must be able to read people, understand their needs, be able to communicate with the customer (and the technical resources you have), negotiate, and be detail orientated enough to get the paperwork done to get the order placed. Sure it may look like it is easy - why don't you try it and tell me who it goes?
As a side note, we do all this and continue to build the relationship with the customer to make sure there is repeat business also.
I do love my job, but it is not as easy as it looks.
