A CAREER IN SALES CAN RUIN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS

A CAREER IN SALES CAN RUIN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS



NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) – Working as a salesperson may sell your sex life short according to a new study. A survey of over 300 sales managers conducted by Sales & Marketing Management magazine finds that almost 50 percent of salespeople say their job takes up so much of their time that it has ruined their romantic relationships. Besides rendering them single, a whopping 69 percent say their job in sales is making them fat because they don’t have enough time to eat right or exercise. According to the editor of the magazine, Melinda Ligos, part of the problem is a soured economy that puts sales reps under pressure to make their quotas, while the other part is that salespeople are naturally competitive and don’t know how to tend to their own personal lives.
