I began debunking sales articles when the first ones predicting the death of selling appeared circa 2008. Back then, new digital marketing companies were telling everyone that salespeople would be replaced by inbound marketing. "Inbound is King," they said.

I read a fascinating article by Kelly Fairchild. She talked about “salesmanship.” It got me to thinking about, “What is salesmanship?” Based on the conversations I have with sellers and my social feeds, people seem to think salesmanship has to do with the following: Hitting quota, making commission Beating the competition Pitching products/solutions Prospecting, getting meetings Executing messaging sequences and outreaches across all channels to get meetings Persuading people to buy our products

Yep, two out of ten prospects you speak with turn into buyers. And this means that you spend hours each day pitching to people who are never going to buy! That’s why most people get burned out in sales.

A sales consultant who knows that I geek out on sales data read that 84% of salespeople suck because they don't enjoy what they do. A huge percentage of salespeople do actually suck but the actual number is closer to 75%. Is it really because they don't enjoy selling?
