I think I might be turning into an Apple fanboy...

I have had a lot of college kids ask me for advice on a sales career and here is what I tell them:

-Sell the most complicated thing that you can comprehend. For example: anyone can sell M&Ms, but not everyone can sell complicated ERP systems or $100M Managed Service projects to the biggest companies in the world. So, which sales person is paid more? Which one is in higher demand in the marketplace?

Life is tougher now then when I was your age and it's only going to get worse. Companies have no loyalty and there is no such thing as lifetime employment. It's about taking care of your family and your future.

So, If you are really good at selling very complex projects and products then you will always be wanted and always command big compensation. Therefore, if you want to sell make that your goal. Get the training in technology, learn from the best sales people in the world, become a good public speaker, be comfortable talking to powerful leaders in that industry, make serving your customer your number one goal (they don't care about your desires), be curious and ask questions, always go the extra mile and ask yourself if you could have done more.

The best sales people make their own schedules, they travel the world, they live well, they aren't stuck behind desks for 40 years.

That's how you can make more money than you ever dreamed possible in sales.

i'm not a college student, more of a drug dealer trying to get out.

There really aren't a lot of jobs for "business management". Business manager are people with specific skills that move into the job of managing people. Never seen an ad for business manager

I'll stick with my Samsung GS3, Asus Tablet and HP Laptop, with my old P.O.S. ipod that stays in my car hooked up to the stereo. Will never buy apple again, can't stand it. Just me though
