NO!

I'm in sales. I hear new variations of the word no everyday. Sometimes polite, most quick and rude.
I present myself and the company I work for with honesty, grace and as unobtrusively as possible. I'm not rude, unpleasant or unskillful. Yet when people get to the point in my two second pitch where they understand that I'm attempting to sell something to them, regardless of what it is or how I sell it, they dismiss me without cause.
Even the people who are interested in the company are curt.
It really doesn't make sense in my head.
It's not the rejection that drives me crazy, its the attitude people have towards salespeople that drives me to drink (smoke).
I guess its humanity in general that brings me to my knees everyday.
The utter lack of courtesy, patience and respect.
I don't keep people and if you don't have the time to talk to me (how much daily time do you spend on Facebook, liars?), just say it's not a good time and I'll call you at some other juncture.
I don't want to talk to people who don't want to talk to me.
Here's what, If you can't beat'em, join'em.

I'm about to become the pushiest, nastiest sales rep of sustainable business products and solar energy the tri state area has ever seen.
