Hey Mitchell, thanks for the question. Sales in my opinion is for folks who want to have their financial earnings a little more in their own hands. I love the fact that if I work incredibly hard I can be rewarded financially at a much faster rate than many other positions and departments.
Best advice I have is, choose a company that TEACHES and grows the skillset of sales, sell a product that you can get excited about and that really is a tremendous help for its users and educate yourself on the art of selling. My favorite sales/negotiations books are: Never Split the Difference, Fanatical Prospecting, The Lost Art of Closing and Challenger Sale.
