If salespeople are supposed to be good at sales... why are they working in sales?
Conversation
Terrible, backbreaking work.
Surrounded by a lot of really soulless creeps as colleagues.
Not the best pay available for the skill set.

I got through a ridiculously competitive recruitment pool to work at a recruitment agency, but left early in induction.
The people who stayed were all... bad.
One, a son of a CEO who was remarkably smart (and prob. a sociopath) went on to lead a product team in his fav. hobby.

I went on to get a job that should have me cross-qualified in two different fields, of which I have 0.
I get paid more than some of my Norwegian friends. In Poland.
I got really lucky on that, but that still seems like a better use of sales "talent" than, well, fuckin' sales.

Point being:
If you can actually sell shit, you can do so much more with that than peddling products & services with other, money-obsessed creeps.
