If Sales Reps Were Marines --DeWese

Let’s start with intellect.

Marine Corps—You will complete an IQ test and other exams to measure your brain power. The Marines don’t want any dummies, so you will have to score an IQ of at least 110.

Print Sales—Testing? There’s no IQ exam in print sales. If the job required a high IQ, people that smart wouldn’t be willing to do it. Who’s dumb enough to try to sell printing to buyers who buy on price? Who is so stupid as to face constant rejection? Who could be so slow as to handle constant unreturned phone calls and e-mail messages?
