There are approximately 15 million salespeople in the United States, grinding out a living in one of the world’s oldest professions. We all sell different things, and our experiences vary depending on industry, geographic location, and the type of sales we’re in. But all salespeople share a common bond in what we have to deal with on a daily basis. Only a salesperson (or former salesperson) understands the struggle, and the things that can drive salespeople nuts. Here are ten things we can agree that all salespeople hate:

1. Micromanagers

There’s nothing worse than a manager who refuses to leave you alone long enough to sell. It’s wonderful to have support from management, but sometimes it crossed over into borderline stalking. Give your sales reps guidance, and then leave them to perform on their own.

2. Favoritism

Favoritism is bad in any industry, but in sales it directly affects your income. If management is favoring one salesperson over another for non-performance reasons, then you might want to consider switching jobs. Someone being fed leads because they’re best friends with the sales manager is an untenable situation for everyone.  read the rest here
