A people person is only a people person to another people person. I fucking hate them. Most sales people I see don’t really have any skills per say. They think they do by claiming to be a people person. The entire sales community is like this. Fake as shit. They pay thousands to learn something that has been written in Medium or you could just Youtube. I think I can pretty much get the fact if you wanna make a video do well, you need a good title. They speak everything on the surface. And they claim to a be a layperson. Well, no. Fuck you. I not giving you an average. You are stupid as shit. They can’t write a proper fucking email. I have to go through kubernates and monads and they still make more money than devs via commission. They are too sober and fucking pretentious too. Fuck em fuck em fuck em.

I agree with you. I feel even I can do what they do, but they cannot do what we do.

@BugsBuggy i know right. I mean i dont wanna be a dick and act like a smartass, but i cant take it when these people do.

I don't think that's entirely fair. I'm a pretty early employee at my company, and I've been able to watch the sales process pretty closely. IMO the problem is that it's pretty easy to be a mediocre salesperson and exceedingly difficult to be a good salesperson, and what tends to separate them is a sense of realism. That sounds counterintuitive since being in sales means having to persuade customers and users that your product is the best thing ever even though investing in that product constitutes a risk, and in many cases is largely unproven (at least if you're a startup). When sales is doing its job well, they're giving the customer some positive spin while also managing their expectations so engineering and everyone else can actually fulfill those expectations... and that can be especially difficult when customers get impatient (which they always do). Plus you often get paid on commission, which can be pretty tough. Sales people aren't stupid just because they're not programmers.
