WHEN I GROW UP, I WANT TO BE A SALESPERSON!

DALLAS,, TX (February 2003): On March 7, 2003 National Salesperson's Day will take place. Its the day to celebrate the easiest job in the world. Just ask anyone whos not in sales! Some will think it is a day to knock off early and go golfing. Others will think it's a day filled with chatting and taking customers to lunch. After all isn't that what salespeople do?
Hardly. This day arose because of the misconceptions about what selling is and to highlight the extensive contribution salespeople make to business success. Salespeople help their customers make the best buying decisions. This enhances the business performance of their customers. Professional salespeople are essential resources for customers today. Talented salespeople filter the vast amount of information that is available to their customers. They then present what is necessary. Salespeople also help consumers make better, quicker decisions with the counsel they offer.
Maura Schreier-Fleming, President of Best@Selling proposed the day to recognize the tireless efforts of great sales professionals. She says, "To be a successful salesperson today, you've got to be a master communicator and skilled in technology. Decision makers today are overworked and want to look to their salespeople for advice and knowledge to help them make buying decisions. Salespeople seem to be forgotten in business because the great ones make selling look so easy. This day will honor their efforts."

|
Many people forget that without salespeople, buying decisions would be more difficult and would take longer. So to celebrate the day businesspeople can:
1. Take a salesperson to lunch
2. Answer your phone instead of screening those salespeople's calls
3. Buy something
For salespeople, they can celebrate National Salesperson's Day by thanking their customers. After all, it's customers who make the best job in the world possible.
