>> The main thing is that you want to be a person who enjoys being around people,
who truly does enjoy being around people,
because pharmaceutical sales is actually very science oriented,
and my degree was early childhood, so that doesn't sound like it goes together at all,
and -- but I enjoyed the teaching aspect of sales.
And so I think -- my husband agrees with me: I think good salesmen are good teachers,
or good teachers could be good salesmen, because they're giving knowledge.
They're telling knowledge that they want this person to understand,
and so they have to be able to explain where they are coming from and their sales approach,
no matter what you are selling, whether you are selling retail or all the way
out to my husband's sales is very technical because it's talking about how water goes
through pipes and that kind of thing.
So, but I think a people-oriented person is very comfortable in sales.
