5 Research Paper
Weekly Research Paper (40 points total)
Prepare a three-page paper in APA style that describes, explains,
addresses, and answers the following.
Many people shy away from careers in selling, often because they
think they are not outgoing enough, or because salespeople are dishonest or
pushy. In this weekly research paper, describe your most memorable experience
with a salesperson that was positive and made you feel comfortable. Then in the
next section, describe an experience with a salesperson that was unpleasant and
made you feel uncomfortable. In comparing the two experiences, answer the
following questions. In reflecting on the positive experience, what one thing
about the experience made you feel good about it? Why? In reflecting on the
unpleasant experience, what one thing about the experience made you feel
uncomfortable about it? Why? Consider what you do for work on a day-to-day
basis. Given what you do, do you consider yourself to be some form or fashion
of a salesperson? Why? Why not?
Include APA style in-text citations as well as a reference
section.
