anization that sells a product or service to survive and prosper, will not generally, layoff their top producers first. I can virtually assure you of that. It wouldn't make business sense, would it? Even in the event that the business completely closes down, it will be the sales masters that will be in demand by other companies before anyone elsIf you are looking for a way to protect your 'income potential' in virtually any economy, you have to know that there is one career, if mastered, that truly is economy proof. That is the selling profession. The reason is quite simple. Economies are driven by the sale of goods, services and even the sale of information or ideas. In fact, economically speaking, 'nothing happens until something is sold'.

When there is a slowdown in the economy, however created, people who produce goods or provide services are among the first to lose their jobs. While it is true that some salespeople also may be laid off because there are fewer customers, salespeople, especially master salespeople, have a decided advantage over producers of goods and services. Consider this.

If you have framed houses for 10 years and a downturn in the economy slows home building significantly, you will need to find a completely new line of work. If you have worked on an automobile assembly line and sales drop 15% forcing mass layoffs, where do you go? In production type jobs, layoffs are often linked to seniority, rather than ability. If you are downsized or if you are in manual work and your body wears out, what do you do? If you don't have an expensive college education, yet you still want an exceptional income, what do you do?

In the selling profession, layoffs are more often tied to results. Any organization that sells a product or service to survive and prosper, will not generally, layoff their top producers first. I can virtually assure you of that. It wouldn't make business sense, would it? Even in the event that the business completely closes down, it will be the sales masters that will be in demand by other companies before anyone else

Professional sports teams pay big money for superstars. So do sales organizations. Sales masters literally write their own paychecks in any economy.

Selling is the locomotive of the economy and master salespeople are the engineers of that locomotive. Now, you maybe thinking that you have never sold, never have thought of selling or perhaps you have a belief system that tells you that you can't or never could sell successfully. Perhaps you have never thought about the incredible benefits that you can enjoy by choosing selling as a career.
