the psychology of sales is fascinating and alien to me. I admire friends who are great salesmen, and really actually enjoy doing some sales myself because who doesn't like having something valuable to show and share, but there's a side to it I couldn't handle as a living.
some people, and a lot of them in corporate envs when they buy something, they like the excitement of spending the money, but they want the feel like it was taken from them, and that they aren't responsible for it going wrong. they want the excitement without the responsibility, literally to be seduced.
nobody wants the truth, the risks, details, or anything real, they want a story that lets them press the money button without judgment or blowback, and that's what most sales are. I'm too neurotic for it and make a living doing other things, and tech people bitch about sales and marketing all the time, but as an art, I respect and appreciate it.
