My mom is a talk-show host on the radio, a profession that normally makes one think of communications, networking, things of that nature.\u00a0 She has a degree in communications with a minor in Russian history, and a second degree in interior design.\u00a0 None of these really bring the thought of sales to mind.\u00a0 However, the more I’ve observed my mother do her job (and the more I’ve learned about what actually goes into the sales profession), the more I’ve come to realize that my mom, Kathleen Emmons, is actually a professional saleswoman.<\/p>\n

Kathy has to sell every day.\u00a0 She sells her personality, conversation topics, interviews; she sells topics and people of interest to the general public.\u00a0 Being a good saleswoman is what keeps her show so popular – if she didn’t draw people in, listenership would be low.\u00a0 The first time I saw her really at work was an out-of-body experience for me.\u00a0 It felt surreal, almost like seeing one of your teachers at the grocery store for the first time.\u00a0 You see them and it doesn’t make sense – you don’t live at school?\u00a0 The world is a lie.\u00a0 That’s how it felt the first time I saw my mom operate in a networking setting.\u00a0 She has a 30 second commercial for herself, and it’s extremely effective – she gets hired wherever she goes.<\/p>\n

My mom is a phenomenal communicator, she has a stellar personality that fills a room, and she makes everyone feel comfortable in just about any situation you can think of.\u00a0 She is sought out to greet important people when they come to our city, to emcee large events, to take control of functions that require large amounts of eloquence and personality.\u00a0 Every aspect of myself that could be useful in even the SLIGHTEST sense in a sales context comes from being Kathy Emmons’ daughter.\u00a0 Living with her is like being in a constant internship, and the more I learn about sales, the more I notice how much I pick up just from being in her presence.\u00a0 She’s a natural saleswoman, and I can only hope that some of her skill rubs off on me.<\/p>\n
