A Sales Story with few Words

A Sales Story with few Words-image001Over the years, I have been asked numerous times about my choice in careers as a sales professional in the health care industry. 
Inevitably, I gave the standard answers: good money, career opportunities, job security, and so on.

 
Over time however, I realized it was much more than that. It was a certain feeling that   started deep in my gut, and my heart. I couldn’t identify it, but it was always there.
Over the years, I felt that I could have sold anything, to anybody, in any industry.

Could I have made more money selling something else? I think so. 

Could I have had job security in another industry? I think so.

Could I have picked a sales job without being on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year? I know so.

So why did I do it? Why do many like me continue to do this job?
 

 

I believe that some of the things that make our job special can’t be measured in ordinary terms.

 
 

Job satisfaction means different things to many people.
To me it means only one thing: helping and supporting people that provide the gifts and skills so others may have the life they deserve.
That’s why I sell in the medical field, why do you?
