I love how quick everyone is to blame the salesman. I am a 2nd generation equipment salesman. In the late 70's my grandfather offered the farm to my dad, but he could see the writing on the wall that the money would be too much. So they sold the farm and moved to town
My dad wanted to stay in the farm world so he started selling JD equipment, 36 years later he is retired.
We are out doing the same thing you are, making a life for ourselves. My parents raised 3 kids, kept us clothed, fed. helped a bit with college. We had a good middle class life. My mother worked 2 jobs.
We were never poor, never rich
Yes I need to sell equipment too. that's my job. I am not a hartless monger. I am an everyday joe trying to raise kids and give them a nice upbringing like my folks did for me
Just keep in mind these salesmen are people, have families and are doing the same thing you are. earning a living
Yep some salesmen can be crooked and shady. not all of us, just some.
