As the population of the world continues to rise competition for all aspects of life becomes more stiff and cutthroat. To be successful, you must one way or another rise above the intense competition. Education, knowledge, and looks however can only take you so far, but in the end it all comes down to how well you can sell
Going into an interview for any semi respectable to respectable job, competiton will be stiff. In the end it comes down to whoever would be best suited for the job gets it. But how would one define who is best suited. Well you cant, its essentially the proffesional opinion of the hiring manager that ultimately decides. This is where selling comes in. Wen applying for a job you are not simply stating your qualification but you are trying to convince an employer that they need you. You are essentially selling yourself as a package to them. This consists of everything from your personality, to giving off what type of person you are, to your qualifications. In the end the person who gets the ob is the one who gets the employers attention, knows how to discretely exagerate but most of all convinced the employer that they need them.
THis is one situation of how something other then a product might make you money and as an end result be more successful. However the same ability to sell is key in all aspects of a competitive life. This may range from getting a big contract for your business to indirectly convincing someone you deserve something like a raise.
finally sales skills has its more direct benefits too. As i mentioned before, competition is extremely stiff in this economy. This means that not everyone can become doctors and engineers. All the other manual labor or desk jobs are all that lefts and you can safely say that almost all of them including being a doctor or engineer wont give you enough money to be a millionaire and live like a movie star. The only thing that can possibly get you there with the exception of that .0001 percent chance of becoming a musician actor or sports star, is business. A business on the side is always beneficial and more specifically an internet based business. This gives you the ability to target many people around the world and will ultimately give you the best chance of making it big. but even if you don't, its still extremely hard to get ahead. A business on the side, however, is one of the best ways to do so
