Whats the best type of sales job for SaaS entrepreneurs to learn sales?

[GRIT]

Whats the best type of sales job for SaaS entrepreneurs to learn sales? My end goal is to have a startup in SaaS. Not sure if that'll be B2B or something everyone across the world can use though.

Here is some of my research, interested in what others have to say.

Reasons for entrepreneur to learn sales:

• learn persuasion -> required for funding, convincing companies you're better than competitors in B2B, scaling business by selling
• understanding human psychology and what humans want (even if they don't explicitly say)
• good social & networking skills - connections and relationships in business are key in getting referrals, introductions, product sales, etc
• some psychological benefits like meeting targets/goals, having thick skin and a persevering attitude

Sales jobs can require high product knowledge with less focus on persuasion (eg tech sales), others are high persuasion skills with less focus on product. Best kinds of jobs are high persuasion/ low product knowledge for entrepreneurs.

What are some high persuasion/low product jobs? I'm thinking:

• Call centre - Good for understanding how to SPEAK to ppl
• Door to door - Face to face part teaches you body language
• Bartending - Social skills and human psychology as people can have dynamic emotional states whilst drinking
• Waiter/waitressing? - Not sure about this, teaches you social skills and how to keep a conversation going though not really much focus on persuasion
• Retail sales? - Not sure of this, this is kinda passive as you wait for people to come to store and they buy what they wanted to buy, not a high focus on persuasion or human psychology
• Selling sim cards? - not sure
