All of my sales skills are transferrable since sales is relationship driven, not $$$ driven. People hate to be sold, but they love to buy, and they will buy from someone they like, know and trust before they buy based on $$ alone.

Good points, i have been selling for 8yrs now, love it. People definitely buy from People not $$$, but i have noticed a little bit of a change in my industry due to the economy. People are definitely looking at price as long as they don't compromise quality.
