Sales: it's like a whole different world.

I have to move to a different desk soon. While I will miss my secluded spot, it will be a good thing, as a telesales team has moved into this area. It is a world I don't understand.
"No, I can happily say that I'm not one of those [presumably a sales rep] - I'm a Business Solutions Executive."
I don't believe I could ever call people with the aim of making a sale. But even sitting in the same environment is a strange enough experience. Concepts like motivation and inspiration are not only welcome, but embraced.

And there's music playing. While I don't wish to stereotype sales reps as people who listen to commercial pop and dance, that's precisely what is playing right now. :-(
