Sales is one of those careers that has been glorified by Hollywood, from memorable lines like "always be closing" to the supposed glory displayed in the Wolf of Wall Street.

If that's your only exposure to the industry, then it's nothing but glory. Reality however, is a different story as salespeople around the world grind their way through tough commissions, customer objections, and demanding employers.

In this podcast episode, we speak to Lou Majeed, founder of sales and marketing recruitment firm Basima Tony about his experience working, recruiting, and managing sales professionals. You'll learn about the common misconceptions of the sales career, why you shouldn't listen to so-called influencers in the industry, and how to become the best.
