Rise in Sales Jobs

Let’s play a quick game. I want you to describe to me the image that pops into your mind when I say a certain word. Ready? The word is salesman. The Wallstreet Journal has reported that coming out of the pandemic many companies have switched to growth mode, creating a high demand for salespeople. The pay is high and jobs are plenty, but few want to go into sales, an industry that can't seem to shake the greasy, high-pressure car salesman stigma. So why is the sales industry booming? And how can you shake the feeling that working in sales means being a stuffy salesman? Here to answer those questions is business consultant and podcaster Tom Bloomer.
