Press Release Summary: If you have ever been involved in sales or selling then you
may well relate to some of these - and hey please grow the list, I am sure there are
a lot more out there that I have not even heard of!

Press Release Body: 1. Constantly being rejected on the phone especially when
the receptionist who is in the middle of doing her nails is pissed off at yet
another bloody sales person disturbing her preening routine and who may not actually
believe her current line of bullshit about the customer being on a camping holiday
with a couple of Eskimos!
2. Winning that big customer sale only to be asked by your boss - "so what are
you going to sell today then?"
3. Janet in accounts just told everyone the sperm joke - "what\'s the difference
between a sperm and a sales person - at least a sperm has a one-in-a-million
chance of turning into a human being!"
4. Telling your boss that a sale is in the bag and then your customer goes on the
missing list not returning phone calls, emails or any attempt at communication
besides kidnapping - and then he doesn\'t have his check book!
5. You have spent months creating the ultimate solution, the customer is
delighted and on installation day, Fred from the technical department infects
their whole system with a virus, instead of installing the software.
6. All customers and prospects being basically bad, unreliable and malevolent
people who use all sorts of clever and devious tricks to avoid speaking to you!
7. Your Mum finds out you\'re a low down crook of a sales person, she thought you
had trained as a lawyer and you could legally cheat, swindle and tell lies.
8. You took a new sales job with great earning potential, sacrificing a great
basic salary to find out that the company either doesn\'t have a product or the
product is so crap, you spend your 3 weeks with the company in the "returns"
department.
9. No-one and I mean no-one ever, ever returns your phone calls.
10. Everyone thinks that sales people never listen and you just happen to be the
one in a hundred who actually does - yes really you do!
11. Not being appreciated, I mean come on, you in sales because you love the
glory, you have a big ego and the commission check just isn\'t big enough yet to
buy a Porsche so you can show off!

And if you thought that was all the bad news, well there\'s more, a couple of guys in
Ireland have now launched a sales training course that teaches people how to Stop
Selling and what\'s more, they only accept people on the course if they complete a
qualification questionnaire.
