Sales Opportunity

The instructions were telling 
Just write what you think 
It’s about living not selling 
Use only blue ink.

Be yourself they counsel 
You’ll increase your chances 
First thought is best thought 
There are no wrong answers.

Tell us about a time
you motivated a team
To achieve a goal that others
could only dream
Describe what has been
your biggest failure
Would you relocate for this position to Southern Australia?

Keep it smooth, don’t ever panic
Just think of Bronson in 
The Mechanic

Success and disappointment are joined at the hip – 
Describe a time you
displayed leadership.

Do you prefer parties
or reading alone

Can you think on your feet without grabbing your phone 
Would you go for team play or the way Salome dances 
Are your ideas high voltage
There are no wrong answers.
When you close a deal
in a far-out land
Is it even more fun
than kissing her hand?
This career can be great though management’s the worst 
Proceed accordingly
and always finish first.
You can blow out your numbers 
And sell up a storm

But the thing most important
Is that you conform

Conform and fit in
And drink up with the crowd
If you love history and reading 
Don’t say it too loud.

If you choose to ride out then 
And take your chances
Get your nose bloodied
With all the wrong answers

In the end it won’t matter 
Won’t matter a bit
You served, you achieved 
And that’s all of it.
