My mother hated me in the past. She just didn't know it.

In my early years, a recurring theme in my home was how much my mother hated selling. She and my father were the professional service people and they both detested anything that involved selling- especially commodities. I'm not sure which one my mother hated more- the selling or the salesman. Which is a pity because that was what I ended up becoming. I became a salesman.And my mother hated salesmen.


When I first founded my company in 2004- Darkpore Media Company- I was responsible for 100% of new clients and I had to overcome my deep fear of selling Interestingly, 7 years after as I now sit on board 3 different organisations- something amazing has happened. everywhere, I go, I meet salesmen.
 
Everyone is selling me something.
 
Ideas, products, services, faith in God, proposals. I don't understand but all of a sudden, We're all salesmen- although most don't realise. The earlier you polish your sales skills, the better off you'll be.
 
We're in the salesmen economy
