Sales: it's like a whole different world.

Sales: it's like a whole different world.

: gemsling; June 15th, 2005

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. :-(

Argh! Now it's getting ridiculous. They need a radio. For, as repititive as radio can be, you generally don't hear the same song twice in an HOUR.

- The first time I listened to the latest Triple J Hottest 100 album, Mylo's Drop The Pressure was okay.
- On subsequent plays, I tired of the track and learned to skip it.
- The first time I heard sales weenies playing it this morning, I tolerated it.
- Now playing for the second time today, no more than an hour later, it's pissing me off!
