Monday Morning Sales Inspiration- A Prayer for Salesperson

One of the most difficult jobs in the world is that of a salesperson. The salesperson who is trying to reach you is your friend, your buddy, making the wheels of commerce & life turn.

Whatever you do- as an investor, a manufacturer, or even as a volunteer- the success depends a lot on the efforts of the salesperson who is selling you, in addition to your efforts. Please celebrate the humble salesperson around you!

You are the salesman. You are the foundation of human commerce.

You are the salesman. Without you, no services or inventions would reach those who need them.

No safety or security would be had through the issuance of insurance and sound financial plans.

Products and advances would stagnate.

Inventors, doctors, financiers, police, and peacemakers would not know how to find the tools they need — or help others to use what they offer.

Who praises your work? You are unseen by the scholar, the social critic, and the artist.

But you support them.
You send your children and loved ones to their schools and galleries.
You sell their books and make their beautiful things available.

You are the salesman. The person of commerce and service, who makes so much possible in our world.

Contracts and selling appear in some of the earliest human documents. Your work is sacred.

You are the salesman. You weather a thousand “no’s” with patience until you discover that one person who needs what you offer.

You are never bitter. You cannot be.

You are the salesman. The one on whom all commerce depends.

This hour we think of you: We pray for your success; we thank you for your forbearance; we ask God’s blessings on you and those you support.
You are the salesman. Never give up. We need you.
