us sales people arent all slim and "how can i get you in this car today" BS you see with some sales people. Especially (considering how OP described his office my guess would be software or hardware B2B sales) b2b sales. your word is worth everything in the industry and if you are known in your network of people for being a slim-ball who only cares about the dollar you die fast and hard in sales. So a lot of sales people can be nice, calm and collected people and be a good sales person.
