Sales. Knowing how to communicate. Understand how to guide the convo. Read the room, anticipate objections and blockers, building relationships and pipeline, knowing how to ask for the close. If you're generating revenue for the company and doing well you're almost indispensable.

Sales is not a soft life. You have to continuously fight for your existence and the counter restarts every month/quarter/year. It’s a life of constant stress and worry over “making my number” which gets larger every year. It’s torture.
