I'm sorry in advance if my English looks like a monkey's dance, but I keep trying.

Hello there. I'm 26 y.o., and I'm a welder by trade.

Imagine that you're a welder too, but you have experience working in sales (we call it "sales manager").

What we have:

- Welding brings a lack of money, but you like what you do.

- When you were a salesman, you did it badly, but the prospects of getting better were huge. And you've always wanted to learn the art of negotiation — it's a very helpful skill in everyday life, yep?

- You need money right now. You can't wait for a good opportunity.

So here's your choice: you continue to work as a welder at 26 years old, or you improve yourself in the sales niche.

What would you pick? Why?

Just a heads-up: I apologize in advance for my English. This might be a tough read. Let's try.

Greetings, people. I'm 26 years old. I've worked in selling, but now I'm a welder by trade. Why did I leave? I was selling too little. I'm sure it happened because of my personality — I couldn't be persistent and stubborn. Breaking down objections was too difficult for me — I felt indecent, if you know what I'm saying. After 2,5 years, I started to think come back in selling because of I recently became a father and I earn not enough in welding now. I feel like something in my character has started to change in favor of my boundaries and goals, but I'm not sure exactly. However, I understood my mistakes.

What I want to ask you:

What does it feel like to be persistent and push people around when they refuse you? Don't you feel uncomfortable when you have to push through and get what you want? But what do you feel? Please answer each question in detail and share something that could be important for understanding sales and communication with people from a leadership perspective. I'm tired of reading the same articles and books, and I want to experience your situations and emotions firsthand. I want to understand and retain them in my mind. Thanks a lot in advance, I appreciate your answers, your time.

I'm sorry in advance for my English

I have an issue. I'm overthinking about words. I train English with help of AI — break down words, phrases, other things. But AI constantly tell, FOR EXAMPLE: "No, "An Issue" for technical. You should use "Problem" here, because blah blah blah — a native will think something wrong with you like you're a computer". Haha, damn, it sounds hilariously, but I can't say what I actually think. Basically, do you think about what word you use, or do you just say what sounds closest to you, or what you're used to saying? Like, even if everyone says "pretty," you just say "rather," and you don't care how it's actually supposed to be used in a specific situation?

Just a heads-up: I apologize in advance for my English. This might be a tough read. Let's try.

Greetings, earthlings! I'm a simple fella from the Earth — a place where I have an opportunity writing here

Basically, I've learned English already for 6 months and, as I think, my results doesn't get better. I mean earlier I learned grammar, I spent many times on it. Now I decided like this: hell with that. Maybe, should I hold focus on vocabulary? I'm pretty sure yes. And you know? It seems, I started to understand much more. Because my goal is listen, read and understand most of content. Alright, I said too much. Here's the thing: unless my mistakes, you understand all I wrote or not? What's more difficult for you? What tips can you give me? Thanks a lot, I'm a working progress.

(I have Anki app where I packed 413 words and phrases, but I hadn't even thought It is 0,5% from all! Haha, damn)

P.S. — Yep, I'm trying to use some slang words sometimes — I like how it sounds, as for example, "fella". There's may to seem that I wanna show out, Idk, but that's not the case. Peace

And one more thing: what are you doing now?
