every sales interview asks this. everyone gets it wrong. they list features. smooth flow, premium finish, free refills. that's not how you sell. the right answer? ask questions first.

think you can't do sales because you're introverted? wrong. listening matters more than speaking. building 1-on-1 connections matter and introverts have the exact strengths that consultative sales requires.

spent 98% of your life in school. now you have a chance to see real life. and you want two more years in a classroom? only do a master's if you have a clear reason. not because uncertainty is scary.

newbies do business development. experts become bade bhai. the difference? one has an agenda to sell. the other has a goal to guide.

tired of hearing money is evil. earning money ethically means you solved problems people care about. the more you earn, the more value you created. ambition isn't greed.

base salary in BD roles? it's just guaranteed minimum commission. your actual earnings depend on you, not your boss or annual review. that's either terrifying or liberating.

forget understanding the customer. become the customer. hear their story. feel their pain. imagine their dreams. that's how you know if you should sell to them at all.

smart grads avoid sales because of outdated stereotypes. pushy, extroverts only, dead-end job. but edtech sales is different. it's helping people reach their potential while building a high-growth career.

ai can analyze data, automate tasks, write emails. but it can't build genuine trust. can't read a room. can't adapt when someone's body language shifts. persuasion stays human.

bobby graduated with an engineering degree and a one-year gap. no company would look at him. four weeks later he was earning 89,000 a month. something fundamental broke in how education connects to work.

ever felt lost making a tough choice, then someone just listened? no judgment, no agenda. just genuine attention. that feeling of being understood is powerful. in sales, validation opens doors that persuasion can't.

saw a kid at a lemonade stand. he wasn't yelling at people to buy. just having fun making something he loved. looked so good i had to try it. that's consultative sales.

indian parents tell their kids to avoid sales. they're not wrong about traditional sales. pressure tactics, manipulation, chasing quotas at any cost. but consultative sales is different.

they taught you wrong. memorizing words and grammar rules won't make you fluent. here's what actually works: stop translating in your head. start thinking in english this week.

most people think negotiation means dominating the other side. it doesn't. the best negotiators don't convince anyone. they ask questions that make people convince themselves.

f*** it. that's what a sales rep told himself before becoming the top performer. sometimes caring less is what makes you close more.

we wait to be picked. "i'm not talented enough," we say. but talent isn't what we're born with. it's what happens when we keep showing up after everyone else stops.

most sales calls fail before they start. not because of the product or price. because of how we speak. every "our company" and "your business" draws an invisible line. one side sells, the other resists.

"bhai starting mein toh itna hi milta hai." that's what they tell us. a fresher earning ₹20,000 feels normal. but normal isn't always right. what if these rules weren't made to help us, but to hold us back?

i see freshers sending 100+ applications for sales jobs every day. makes me shake my head. only 30 companies in india offer real sales careers. the rest treat you like tissue paper.
