[quote=Anonymous]I started my career in a very analytical role, then moved into a sales support/strategy role in advertising for a while where I was much closer to the sales process and loved the energy of it - best of both worlds as I was helping to sell without having a number to hit. I am now in less of a client facing role and I really miss the energy of sales. The mentality of people who have never had to work with clients is completely different and not for me. People who do sales are always hustling to get things done. It is important to have management or risk people to keep them in check to make sure they don't overdo it, but too many of those people are too risk averse and create useless processes and headaches to justify their existence, since their contributions are harder to quantify. As someone above wisely noted, a lot of jobs involve "sales" even if you aren't selling a specific product - for example, a good lawyer at a firm is selling.[/quote]
