I watched Pioneers of Prime Time on PBS, a documentary on the early days of TV, with comic luminaries such as Red Skelton, Milton Berle, Gracie Allen, and George Burns. Each of the stars talked about the bond that existed among them because they were in “entertainment.”
It got me thinking about the “bond” among salespeople — Is there one? And, if so, what does it mean?
I think there is a bond — of the road warrior away from home, the pressure of the quarter, the relationship-building with clients. Whenever I meet salespeople, whether on a train or in a social setting, I feel a connection to them — their life, career choice, and life experience.
How do you feel? Is there a bond?

You bet there is! As with any profession we instantly have so much in common with another sales peofessional.
I liken it to that of the bond between teachers. They can teach many different subjects and any grade level, yet they still have stories to share and roughly the same concerns to voice. There is never any shortage of topics for them to discuss when they get together.
In sales we may be in different industries, selling to a vastly different consumer/client and yet, we never run out of topics to discuss...
It's funny. I always thought of sales people as outgoing, people-person type bond builders. Yet, this post is nearly a year old now and mine is the first comment.
Perhaps selling is something completely different from what I have imagined.
How do people who don't even have a bond with others in their profession possibly bond with the people they want to do business?
Help me out here?
