\"SalesI heard this joke a couple of days ago and thought it was worth passing along:<\/p>\n

HR Rep:<\/strong> Here is a stack of resumes for your open sales position.<\/p>\n

Hiring Manager:\u00a0<\/strong>Can you please show me the good resumes.<\/p>\n

HR Rep:<\/strong>\u00a0Here you go. [hands over a dozen resumes]<\/p>\n

Hiring Manager: \u00a0<\/strong>[Takes the resumes and throws six of them in a waste basket, then hands the other six back to the HR Rep] I will interview these six.<\/p>\n

HR Rep: <\/strong>What about the ones you just threw away??!<\/p>\n

Hiring Manager: <\/strong>They were unlucky and I don\u2019t hire unlucky sales people.<\/p>\n\n

Note \u2013 The joke above sounds ridiculous, but if we are honest we have to accept that luck is a big part of sales success. Fortunately, luck is often not happenstance. The rep that works consistently hard and smart, will create more good luck .<\/p>\n
