85. Telecom sales - An endless elegy

Telecom sales means

endless cups of tea
endless hours at the distributor's back office
endless number of phone calls from anyone and everyone
endless standing at crowded retail outlets waiting for the retailer
endless number of puffs and soft-drinks
endless banter thrown at you by the disgruntled retailer
endless random roaming on the streets in the hot sun
endless pouches of water
endless hunger and the want of eating something nice and heavy
endless craving for the fairer sex (sales being a no-chick job, u wont find any)
endlessly convincing the retailer to sell your product
endlessly meeting new people
endless fake smiles
endless shaking of hands with random ppl
endless parade of goats and cows everywhere u go
endless specks of chewed-paan-masala flying and hitting your face while you are the pillion rider on the masala-chewing-but-eager-to-give-gyaan TSM/TSE's bike

Some gyaan which I have been a recipient of in the last few days is as follows(gems they all are)

Customer aur maut (death) kabhi bhi aa sakthe hain, koi bharosa nahin!

Sachhe aadmi ka saath dene ka aur jhoote aadmi ka band bajaane ka!

Retailer ke yahaan chai nahi peena mathlab honeymoon pe jaake sex nahi karna! (this is the most hilarious one)

Market ki maa-behen ek karne mein jyaada time nahi lagta beta!
