Someone once told me that other salespeople are the easiest to sell to. Maybe because on some level they're rooting for you to succeed, or maybe because they're more extroverted.

My observations seem to bear that out, but I don't have a huge sample size. I'm curious whether you think that's true?

p.s. I was tempted to open this with, "I saw your comment on HN and wanted to get your advice...". :) But I'm not trying to be a meta smartass. I'm genuinely curious.

I would say I'm relatively easy to sell to, but that I'm also not tolerant of having my time wasted when the value you offer just isn't what I'm after.

In that regard, I'd say I'm just like every other person who isn't a salesperson :)
