A short spoken excerpt from a sales-focused talk in which the speaker describes a conscious decision to "enjoy people," accept others' differing priorities, and use interactions to build rapport and mutual positivity. The speaker argues that enjoying people is essential for a successful career in sales and contrasts sales with roles (like developers) that require less interpersonal engagement.
And I have just taken a conscious decision in my life, a step forward and to say I just enjoy people. I appreciate that they have priorities that I don't understand. I appreciate that they have things that they're trying to get done that don't align to mine. And I'm going to enjoy the process of us working those things out and having those conversations. And every time I have a chance to interact with somebody, I'm going to leave hopefully with them feeling better and more positive and me feeling better and more positive and us being a little bit closer, knit together. And I think that that's if you want to live better, like, just enjoy people. Otherwise, get out of sales. You know, you can go be a developer and you only ever have to talk to your boss and your keyboard, right? But if you want to be in sales, you better enjoy people because sales is people.
