There are a lot of salesmen in the world.
The success of the salesman depends largely on his product, I think.
Note: Someone IS making a killing selling ice to the Eskimos. And he’s no genius, the people in Alaska want to ice down their beer just like the rest of us.
Some products need salesmen, that one guy with the leisure suit that looks you in the eye and asks, “What’s it going to take to put you in this Ford Eurostar today?”
Ironically, the most personal things need the impersonal touch. A billboard works sometimes, but not some guy in your grill asking, “What’s it going to take for you to get off your fat ass and come down to Gold’s Gym?”
Same with marriage counseling. No one tells you, “Hey, Amy and I were talking and we think your marriage sucks. Call this guy. He’ll set you straight.”
That’s why Deodorant and Midol aren’t sold door-to-door.
