Today, I was declined a sales position at a local store. As I headed out, I heard the interviewer telling a colleague, "Christ. That kid had less charisma than Microsoft Sam." FML

So you know for next time:
Most sales people have a combination of 5% knowledge and 95% bullshit, and a big smile while doing their pitch.

Reminds me of my old job working in a movie/music store and how I managed to upsell/convince people to buy a movie I absolutely hated in addition to their purchase

Sounds about right. You need a lot of diplomatic skills to bullshit your way through. And the ability to smile. And take a lot of abuse without exploding.

If you take it as constructive feedback it can probably help you in your next interview!

You were possibly just nervous - interviews are not the place for real personality to shine through. But who is Microsoft Sam?

Sorry OP, but it is your fault and you definitely deserve it. You need charisma and amazing bullshitting skills to be a salesman.
