I've just started a new job in sales, and it has helped me with my development. I've found that salesmanship relates a lot to being a "dj". After all, you are selling yourself. A job in sales can help in a lot of ways. Here's how it helped me:
Money: I've heard that the easiest way to become rich is to sell something. Money is still a powerful aphrodisiac for women. If anyone says otherwise they are lying, ignorant, or delusional.
Challenge: When negotiating, I've been trained not to give a customer all the discounts and extra stuff I am authorized to at the start. If you do, you have no way to work out a deal, because you used up all your power. Same with women: you don't start with a $500 necklace when negotiating for nookie. I think of challenge as simply not using up all your bargaining chips too soon.
Personality and social skills: In sales, you have to cultivate a certain personality. You have to be energetic, decisive, optimistic and confident. You have to learn how to read people and determine how your product solves their needs. I've also become more social because networking is important in this job.
Closing: Always be closing. With a girl, ABC
Somethings don't relate. For instance, you have to be more accomodating with customers than you would with a girl. You also have to be more flattering with customers.
Anyone else in sales with some insight?
