What more can a man want?

I mean really, how great is it to be a salesman. You set your own hours. You can work from home...or Panera Bread, Starbucks, or even parked in your car next to a Homewood suites. All we need is cell service, wifi and a strong cup of coffee.

I did not start out to be a salesman. But I love it. I do not think I could enjoy doing anything else. Crafting the solution for my customer. Out maneuvering the competition. Getting the order...and the check.

It is not all excitement and glory. There are the late night RFP responses, the never ending forecast calls. Deal registration forms and spreadsheets.

The good far out weighs the bad. The life of a salesman, what more could a man want?
