SEX SELLS, Or 20 Reasons Why Selling Is Better Than Sex

The world’s oldest profession involves selling.

One might even argue about which came first – the selling or the sex?

In fact, selling and sex are so closely related that succeeding at either one of them can be euphoric, addictive, and good fun. Some people might like to argue that selling is not better than sex. They believe it’s the other way round.


Business can be fun and should be fun. Love what you do and do what you love. It’s about passion…it’s about creating the pathway for your own success and doing it with enthusiasm and zeal.

Here are 20 reasons why selling is even better than sex:

1. You are never too young or too old to sell. And just because you may be over 65, you don’t have to rely on those little blue pills to help you make a sale.
2. A new sales job comes with an instruction manual – complete with graphs and pictures and everything that you might need to come to grips with the basics.
3. When it comes to selling on an airplane or just chatting to a prospective client in the seat next to you, you’ll realize that it’s so much easier than trying to sneak into the bathroom for a quickie in order to join the “mile-high club”.
4. You don’t have to fear retribution for showing the proof to back up your claims of success and achievement. On the contrary, your prospective clients will want to see that. And the more sales history you have, the better! Your prospects may be very keen to see who you have listed as your previously satisfied clients.
5. If your customers decide to take photos or film you while you’re making your pitch, you don’t have to worry about those pictures or videos showing up on the internet when you become famous.
6. You don’t have to check for a wedding band or make sure that the person you’re chatting with is, in fact, a real woman or man.
7. It’s possible to close with a customer in two minutes or less and it’s actually something to be proud of.
8. You can be absolutely certain that nine months after a sales meeting, the customer’s lawyers won’t contact you asking for half of your pre-tax income for the next eighteen years.
9. You can invite your previous, current and potential customers to come together in a same room – it is called a “Customer Appreciation Day”.
10. If you’re practicing your presentation at night in the comfort of your own home, you don’t have to be concerned about keeping your neighbors awake.
11. With sales it matters not how young or how old you are – you can always find a fresh prospect – and they’re generally not interested in your age. They’re really only concerned about your expertise.
12. With selling you always know how good you are. The proof is in the purchase of the product that you’re selling.
13. A customer doesn’t get jealous when you get a new one. Actually, you look weird if you don’t have any customer at all. Being single is not good.
14. If you’re having trouble with selling and you’re not feeling as confident as you should be, it is perfectly acceptable to pay a professional to show you how you can improve on your technique.
15. Managing large numbers of sales or co-coordinating a group of salespeople makes you neither a pimp nor a prostitute.
16. You can keep your socks on during selling (or prospecting).
17. Finding customers on the internet isn’t illegal.
18. You can do sales by the book and you can choose the book (or DVD).
19. Selling publicly won’t get you arrested.
20. You can sell even in a moving vehicle and not be apprehended for breaking the law.
