I've posted here before that I was top 0.3% nationwide in car sales, selling about 34 semi luxury cars a month average.
I never felt my job was pointless. I felt the opposite. If I didn't answer my phone, a total idiot was going to answer it. If I didn't get to the customer, someone was going to lie to them or omit useful info and they'd get screwed a bit. Someone would frustrate them so much they'd buy something they don't even want just to avoid that dealership.
So I felt a mission to get to as many people as I could.
If you're good at your job, and have some integrity, it's easy to value your job even if it's sales.
