In the movie Wall Street, there is a scene where Hal Holbrook’s character tells Charlie Sheen’s character, “There comes a time in every man’s life when a man looks in the abyss, there’s nothing staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character. And that is what keeps him out of the abyss.”
I love that quote because I think it is so honest and true. There does come not just a time, but often many times, in a salesperson’s life where there is nothing but the abyss.
