Sales and Marketing - Don't We Filipinos Love it?

Why is it selling tangible products is really common in the Philippines?

I'm selling brand new digicams (visit http://metsclassifieds.blogspot.com) in the office and because we own the company, an officemate asked me, "Why is it rich kids love selling?"

Ok, so first of all, my husband and I are not that rich. It just so happened that my in-laws own the company. But since we already got married, we consider their properties and status different from ours. But since I also have friends who are rich but also are into different "rackets," I realized that its true. Even people with a lot of money still wants to make some more even if its takes them to sell and market.

Personally, I do it for fun and not just for money. Of course money is one of the factors why I do it. I'm selling because I feel that I excel on this field. I can persuade someone to tuck into something without being unrealistic and won't sound like you're watching home tv shopping.

Maybe its in Filipinos' nature to market and sell anything. Despite of the person's status they still do it. They, or should I say we, just do it for different reasons.
