Deepak's take

In this podcast, Naval emphasizes why sales is a key skill that everyone must learn. Two key skills that Naval recommends: Building and Selling. Most of us fall into the either one of the camps. But, if you are a builder who knows how to sell, you will not go hungry. What I mean is that...for example, an engineer who builds and is also is a good at sales will excel than the one who is not. That's why I have seen several people studying at IIT and then go on to management courses at IIM or any other institutes. I myself am a builder, and I am trying to learn the art of selling. This is a continuous path of learning.
