5 things I learnt in sales

1. Always use the loo when you can. You never know how long the meeting might take or how bad the traffic is.
2. You may not talk like a consultant. You may not think like a consultant. You may or may not draw the same salary as a consultant. But you most definitely can dress like one. Just sometimes, it pays.
3. Learn to act. Act as if you're interested in your client's brother's tale of unemployment. Act as if you share a bond with your colleagues and boss. Act as if you work so hard. Acting makes careers. And lying.
4. Know everything - Roads, Company & Industry Gossip, Politics, Sports and of course Bollywood
5. You can never be late. Others will always be late. Its like a rule. Live with it.
