@realrobertherjavec: Be nice, but don't think of them as a friend - there is always a very thin line. But when the lines blur, you will become incapable of keeping it professional. The best salesmen are the ones that walk the very thin line with finesse.
That’s why I left sales. Sales can be high one day with a lucky streak then really low next week.

This is such an important distinction. Kindness is a value, but without boundaries, it becomes a strategy to avoid conflict. And in sales, that’s where you start losing: the deal, the respect, and yourself.

“you don’t ever want to give bad news to your friends”. Can we discuss that?

I’d rather just not be in sales. Being nice is just how I was made

Spot on. When you become too much of a 'friend,' you lose the authority to challenge the customer or give them the hard truths they actually need to hear. Value comes from being a trusted advisor, not just a nice guy. 🤝

I agree I made almost a mil last year- but I was raised to be considerate and respectful to people- which I still am but being able to stand on business and being able to be blunt is one of the most important things I had to learn.

It applies in many aspects of business. Even coworkers. It’s better to keep a line between professionalism and friendship. You will end up being used if you are too friendly with everyone.
