I’ve been thinking about this seriously.

A lot of people in India are confused after college or after their first job. Some go for MBA, some prepare for government exams, some enter IT, and some look at sales because it feels like one of the few careers where communication, hunger, and consistency can matter more than marks or degree.

But sales also has a bad image.

People say it is just targets, pressure, cold calling, rejection, unstable income, and managers shouting every month.

At the same time, I have seen that people who actually learn sales properly often understand business faster than many people in desk jobs. They learn how customers think, how money moves, how trust is built, and how markets work.

But all sales careers are not the same.

SaaS sales, real estate sales, insurance, banking, field sales, B2B sales, channel sales, and startup sales are completely different worlds.

So I wanted to ask people here honestly:

1. If someone is young and confused, is sales still a good career to explore?

2. Which type of sales is actually worth learning in India?

3. Which sales jobs should people avoid?

4. Can sales become a serious long-term career, or is it only a temporary hustle?

5. What should a beginner check before entering any sales role?

Would love honest answers from people who have done sales, left sales, hired salespeople, or are currently confused about entering it.

I run marketing for eXp Realty India, and I keep meeting young people who are stuck in the same spot. They don't want a regular 9 to 5, they've got some hustle in them, but nobody's ever shown them what building something in real estate actually looks like.

So I figured I'd just put this out here.

If you're someone who:

- wants to start a career in real estate but doesn't know where to begin

- has an entrepreneurial itch and is looking for a field to build in

- is fine with a job for now but eventually wants to run your own thing

- comes from a non real estate background (tech, marketing, sales, whatever) and is curious

then this might be worth a conversation.

I'm not promising anyone a job or a quick payday. What I can offer is a look at how the business actually works, how people build income and eventually their own team, and what the path looks like if you're willing to put in the work. Some of the best people in this space came from completely unrelated backgrounds. What they had in common was drive and curiosity, not a real estate degree.

If any of this sounds like you, drop a comment or email me at marketing@expglobalindia.com with a bit about yourself, what you're doing now, and what you're looking for. No pressure, no sales pitch. Just happy to talk to people who want to build something.
