Damn good thread.

Awesome job OP - I look up to people like you, it shows that it can be done if you really want to and believe.

Can you go any more in depth about exactly what you sell though? Like you said, software sales is a huge ass market in its own right but what does it actually mean for you?

I appreciate it if you don't want to spill everything out on a public forum.

lol at the *******s in this thread hating on OP for making a rare good thread on the misc, maybe if you *******s paid attention to people like this there wouldn't be so much LDAR on here.

I only read up to about page 4 so sorry if this was already asked, but what are the main qualities you need to work in sales? My main aversion to joining that industry is that i've always assumed its extremely commissions-based and while i'm generally a confident speaker (I need to be for my career), not sure if I could have my livelihood depend on my ability to cold call kunts and try and sell them a product (assuming thats what you actually do).

You're a dumbass bro

I've never said software sales can't get you a lot of money

You're missing the point of my posts entirely. OP was lucky that it was easy for him to get in the field

Why would salesman sell insurance instead of software if one has so much better earning potential than the other?

It's that the opportunities are limited.

OP makes it sound like its as simple as "Oh I want to go do software sales now so I can make bank"

That's not even sort of how real life works. Maybe it was for him cause like I said you manage to find your foot in the door it probably is really easy.

If you're so smart about earning potential and how it all works feel free to explain to me why anyone bothers selling anything other than software at all? Serious question. Go ahead and provide a logical answer

It's possible and it's probable are too different things.

You two are in here talking about possibility and I'm telling you probability.

I love these so called ''motivational'' threads, when the op is vague as fuk.
Doesn't say what he does, reading it doesnt tell me what job he has except that it's something vague in sales.
Doesn't say how he got it except that he got ''lucky''.
So the only thing i need in life is luck?

Seriously, how is this supposed to uplift anyone?
Oh some guy who was doing bad somehow is now doing good by doing some kind of a sales job.
Which he got by luck instead of something you can control yourself so you could actually change your life.
smfh.

Either give specifics with pictures and everything to back up your claim.
And truly motivate people.
Or dont post at all.

You even admitted a lot of your success came from being at the right place at the right time. Not trying to take anything away from it though. You gotta first put yourself out there in order to be at that place if you want to actually get anywhere in life.
I went from being extremely poor and pretty much being a month away from going bankrupt to making almost as much in one month as I did the year before by being in the right place at the right time. Got tired of the life I was living. Packed everything up and moved away from my friends and family. I did the move in the dead of winter during one of the worst blizzards ever. They actually shut down the highway about a few hours after I went through after there were two fatal car accidents. I actually pretty much went off the road at one point but by pure luck there was a corner ahead so I ended up staying on the highway.

Figure out what you want to do and put yourself in a place where you are most likely to "get lucky". If you want to do a certain job but you live in an area where that specific job is not in high demand your chances of getting anywhere will be slim to none. Then if you do get into the field you want to be in just put your head down and bust your ass till someone notices. Dont pull the "that is not my job" card. If someone is willing to teach you something listen. If there is an opportunity to learn something ask to help out.
Is there luck involved? yes but at the same time if you put the odds in your favor you will eventually get there

What was your job title before you "Made it"? What did you sell?

What is your job title? What do you sell now?

Why does it require skill?

What type of skill: Technical knowledge? Social Skills?

How do you handle pressure? If you can handle it then commission is the best way of forcing yourself to improve. Knowing that if you dont figure it out you could go broke will force you to spend that extra time learning what works and what doesnt. If you are getting a pay cheque that pays your bills you will only ever get good enough to not get fired.

So being in a commission job what do you do to get through the periods where you're in a rut, unmotivated, or even depressed?

Self employed 100% on commission and sometimes its difficult to drum up business or keep myself motivated after a prolonged period without making a sale, what do you do to keep you going in the right direction?

So let me get this straight...

-OP makes thread explaining how he 'made it' and general motivation
-People obviously ask for proof
-OP posts proof
-People still ask for further proof
-OP posts further proof
-OP answers almost every question asked, in detail, to help others get to the same level
-People say OP is just being a negative kunt and only made this thread to subtle brag

Is this real life???
This guy is basically spoon feeding you ways on how to improve yourselves, and you're actually going to doubt him and disregard his advice.....?
Because it's easier to just claim that it's all based on 'luck' and 'networking' and that you'll never be in the same position?
With that kind of attitude it's no wonder that LDAR has become the new misc motto.

The main problem I'm seeing in this current generation is that people are afraid of working for something. They just expect to party and travel, until their dream life and career just fall into their ****ing lap. Harsh reality is that it'll never ****ing happen unless you take the steps necessary to make it happen.

Apply yourselves, soak in information from people like OP, and stop wasting time doing trivial **** that doesn't help accelerate your path to success.

OP, I always get confused/ intimidated when job searching. I have a decent (lol not really) job now, but looking to switch industries into sales or other.

How do I know what a good position, company or job posting is?

OP I have 3 questions for you as a 21 year old college student who is just entering the professional world.

1) How did you get better with women? I literally had to stop visiting the misc about 6 months ago due to myself buying into the pessimistic views thrown around about being a short guy (5'8ish)/facial aesthetics/every girl will cheat on you mentality.

2) If you could gift one book to someone, what would it be?

3) What does your morning routine look like?
