The salesman works for himself though his paychecks come from his boss. The more the salesman sells the more he makes. The more the salesman sells, the more his boss makes.
The salesman adapts and educates himself according to whatever product his boss tells him to sell. But his expertise is not the final deciding factor in his selling success. Confidence in himself is the final selling point. His clientele assume they can be sure about what he's selling since he is so sure in himself.
His confidence comes from an unknown source, certainly not from the company he sells for. From the minute he drags himself out of bed in the morning, every step of the way he's driven by a mysterious, inner strength.
The job does not recharge him, but he sells anyway. The job is draining his life away.
The salesman must be content with never progressing. His total sales for the day starts at zero every day. He does not have the option of getting momentum for his job.
The salesman has an extraordinary personality. he is amiable, yet firm. He is kind, yet emotionally detached. He's been working in this line of work so long he's not sure if having a genuine personality even matter anymore.
The salesman must have a superhuman ability to overcome rejection. He must be able to endure 9 "no's" for every "yes." the fact that he can endure so many "no's" is special because rejection tends to discourage most people. It takes a deliberately guarded mindset to let so much negative energy roll off, like water off a duck's back.
The salesman demonstrates his above average courage as he overcomes his natural fear of rejection every day. This natural fear is what makes other people avoid his job.
He gives it all on every call; what else should he do? If he doesn't give everything he won't sell anything.
