The Most Profitable Profession
I was just reading a report by someone I admire greatly and he was talking about the most profitable profession.
I guarantee it’s not what you think. If you guessed doctor lawyer or even hedgefund manager you are all dead wrong.
The highest paid profession is….drum roll please…..
SALES!
What?!
Sales is the highest paid profession?!??!?!
It’s true.
Let me shock you even more. Door to door sales is probably the easiest and most profitable business you can possibly start right now.
You probably think of a sales job as a last resort. The bottom of the totem pole. Door to door sales is even lower.
But you need to understand some thing about business to understand why this is the case.
Fact #1: Nobody makes any money until somebody sells something.
Every millionere alive today is involved in some sort of selling. It’s the engine that makes the economy run.
Even doctors and lawyers are in sales, they sell services!
You might think that the owner of Wal-Mart became wealthy by owning a popular chain of stores. Not true.
OWNING something doens’t make anyone any money. Only SELLING something does.
This really applies to every aspect of the business world.
So why do salesmen get such a bad rap?
Well the problem is that most salesmen are rank amatuers. Did you know that on average 20% of salesmen bring in 80% of the companies’ sales?
Most people look at sales as a career and not a ticket to great wealth, and therefore they never really take their sales the next level. They read the script and never really think about starting their own company, outsourcing, leverage, scaling and all those other goodies.
But sales still remains the highest paid profession for those who have studies its ways and have become PROFESSIONAL salesmen.
I recommend you become one too!
In the next post we’ll cover another fact of business and how you can profit from it.
