If you're learning how to sell, you're still in business making good money in porn right now.

If you don't know how to sell then you're not making much money in porn right now and are on your way out.
Spot on.

Very simple.

Not completely right. You have to know who to hire and if he's doing the job well with your product or if he's not where hes going wrong.

Few are that big in online porn to loosen their grip on employees. The "I hire someone who can do that job". Or "I have people who look after that side." Is wrong. You could have the wrong people and not know it.

Big corporations are built on a pyramid basis. Man at the top has 10 under him to deal with the ten different aspects of the business. They each have tan under them. Who have 10 under them.

The basis of a great business, organisation or Army. All the man at the top has to do is get the right 10 under him. That's tough not knowing whet that 10 will be doing, which is why they go on courses and research the job. Also a CV helps.

Hiring a salesman is a minefield. He's got to be persuasive to be a salesman, good or bad. If you don't know what the interviewee needs to do in an interview situation. You're up a creek without a paddle surrounded by crocodiles in a leaking canoe.

Trust me I've interviewed good talkers for the job of salesman, who couldn't sell iced cold water in the Desert.
