We are all salespeople in our own right. Some of us sell for a living, others sell/advocate on behalf of their passion. This blog is meant to share the trials, tribulations, victories, and lessons learned..............from one salesperson to another.

Friendship Through Business

The best type of relationship in sales..........is a friendship.  Master of the obvious, I know.  But, I can't stress the impact this has.  Not only on business and success, but on the overall pleasure of your job.  In sales you meet tons of people, thats your job.  The hope is to build a repor, and ultimately trust.  But when it turns into a true, genuine friendship.........it stops being work.  Sure, you still need to work to service, honor, and live up to the trust that you've earned.  But things change as you visit, share, laugh, and care as friends do.

These friendships don't come around everyday, and should be treasured when they do.  To me, these friendships are the most gratifying part of sales.  Yes, the most gratifying.  Not every profession allows you the opportunity to meet people from all over and build friendships through business.
