PUSSY IS FOR CLOSERS ONLY
Check out my occasionally updated travel thread - The Wroclaw Gambit II: Dzięki Bogu - as I prepare to emigrate to Poland.

- Unsuspecting clients were lured in by ‘aggressive’ techniques and ‘cold-calling’ that promised ‘wildly overestimated’ returns on wine.
- Some clients invested tens of thousands of pounds, and got ‘less than half back’. One client we spoke to invested £100,000 but has got nothing in return.

you really can get away with crazy shit - for example, I randomly slipped in words like "snowman" , "chainsaw" or any other completely random word that didn't have anything to do with the pitch at all and people would NOT notice it.

Sales gets a bad rep because the door-to-door vacuum/knife salesmen and handful of greasy used-car salesmen ruin it for everyone else.
I sell big ticket items and have a team of canvassers and office staff setting and confirming my appointments. I just show up and close.
I give my pitch then negotiate price and financing terms. My close rate typically hovers around 40% percent. This month I'm at 60%, though one order cancelled. It was small so it didn't really impact my paycheck.
We have a sliding commission structure so if I drop the price too low it will affect my commissions. If I offer favorable financing terms (0% interest for example), the bank charges my company huge fees and it affects my commissions. My average commission is 12%. My average sale is around 7K.
The only cons are constantly being on call and having to put a lot of miles on my car. I also have to work a lot of nights and Saturday afternoons. But excluding drive time, I probably put in 20 hours a week at most.
There are a lot of similarities with game. Opening, building rapport, creating need (attraction), overcoming objections (LMR), and closing the deal.

Does tech sales fall under the category of " too good to be true"? I read on wall street playboys you can make 100k in 3 years. How realistic is it to be that successful that fast in tech sales?
That's probably on the lower side tbh.

So you are saying most people make more money? What's a rough estimate of people starting out in tech Sales who then end up getting fired?

I'm not saying anything you should go try it for a year and see if its for you. The first year or so sucks dick but there's gold buried there.
