The Importance of a good Salesperson...

I work in sales. I am fully aware that the thought may make some of you shudder but it keeps me busy and connected to people. I'm a bit of an odd duck in this way. While I enjoy social interaction through work and performing on stage I can become overly introverted if left to my own devices for too long.

Anyways...back to the original thought.

A good sales person can convince you of just about anything. Ladies you know specifically what I'm talking about. You walk in a store intending on buying one single solitary shirt and walk out with matching purse, shoes and an amazing pair of pants that were on sale that go perfectly with the one single solitary shirt. The inflated purchase, that you will have to explain to your wheezing checkbook later, was all in thanks to the brilliant Machiavellian mind of the sales girl who began tallying her commission the moment she saw you walk into the store. I mean yes she searched for the weak point in your will power and gutted it like a fish but come on...give credit where credit is due...she was good at her job. Like I said a good salesperson can convince you of anything...

So in honor of my fellow sales people, here is one of my favorite Monty Python sketches...The Dead Parrot Sketch
