Low IQ and sales do not go together.[/quote]

It really depends on what kind of low IQ you’re talking about. If you’re talking about, can’t follow simple directions or identify cues, then yes you’re absolutely right. If you’re just talking about higher level thinking, where lower intelligence means you can only see A leading to B, instead of immediately seeing that if A=B=C=D then A=D, sales can still be a good fit. There is just so much material and training out there, and entry level positions are so scripted, that as long as you don’t have a personality where you’re going to get butt-hurt from rejection, you have a decent chance of making a go in a sales position.

And a lot of these low level positions are zero barrier entry, so the quickest way to find out is to just have them get a sales job and see how they do. [/quote]

Have you ever worked in sales, lol?[/quote]

I’m not talking about all sales positions. But, if there was ever a career that munificently rewarded mechanical adherence to scripts, mindless repetition of tasks, and following the orders of your manager without consideration to the potential moral implications of those orders- sales is it.

I know someone who ran a successful B2B business. He didn't sell software or anything super complex. Anyway, he hired people with no sales experience for sales. He hired actors and second-tier models and yoga instructors who never made it or were starting to age.

He did great.[/quote]
