What are some good jobs/ ways to help develop sales skills for someone who doesn't have any professional experience in the area?

Do you think it is a necessary skill to be a successful /biz/nessman?

I have been working sales my whole life started at 17 selling womens shoes at nordstrom (10% commission)it was a great first job bc I realized I could hustle and make 2-3x what my friends made on hourly and worked various sales jobs since been in legal marketing/sales for 6 years now honestly Tony Robbins will open your mind up to some interesting stuff and the psych behind a sale but it always comes down to being a numbers game in sales the more people you reach out to/connect with the more active prospects you will have which will obviously lead to more sales/deals

Thanks bro I'll check out T Robbins.

Do you think it's necessary to practice 'in the field'?

SaaS sales fag here, ultimately you're solving a problem by providing your good or service. Either discover their problem or create one basically. Other anon is right, the more attempts = the more success.

lots of hobbies involve sales.

Pick up comic books or sports cards and then go to conventions and haggle.
