When customers came to purchase a ticket, I did not want to encourage them to buy by any means. which I think is a rather unwise use of money, monetarily considering the low chances of even making a profit. Although I was not very conflicted internally,  I think is a rather unwise use of money, monetarily considering the low chances of even making a profit. I would just just think of the unfortunate way they were spending their money. My co-workers would often make it a fun experience for the customer, encouraging them to go all out if they wanted. I could not bring myself to give more than a smile, never trying to persuade to buy.  Thus, I really forfeited any attempted sales talents in that specific scenario, except for running the transaction for them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"275\" height=\"183\" data-src=\"http:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image.jpeg\" alt=\"Image result for lottery tickets\" class=\"wp-image-6709 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 275px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 275\/183;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When people do not believe what they are selling is going to solve a customer&#8217;s problem, it is impossible for them to genuinely be a salesperson. Selling is all about finding a pain and providing a solution. In regards to the lottery tickets, I could tell the purchasers had a pain of lack of money and\/or wanting fulfillment through the excitement of wondering whether they will be winners or not. These customers thought purchasing lottery tickets would get them money and fulfillment through being entertained. I knew the purchase is not going to solve these problems, but is more likely to leave them with less in their pockets and fail to leave them truly fulfilled. Not believing in the product, there would be no way for me to be a genuine salesperson. I can sell them, but to be a genuine salesperson, one must believe their solution will be a problem-solver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In working at a pharmacy in high school, I was required to sell lottery tickets.
