I've seen more than a few salesmen that did their best work selling themselves into the job, but never live up to that initial impression. I now realize that I can't spot the fakers.

Agree on women in technical sales, as long as they're competent. Among the vendors that call on me, some of the best use women for outside sales. OTOH, the saleswomen that don't know the tech/product/business are really frustrating, more so than the clueless salesmen. (Not sure why--maybe the ones I've run across come off as especially whiny or needy?)
