A: I admire those people who can actually sell things to strangers. B: As a salesperson, you have to have a thick skin to deal with all the rejection. Note: If someone has a thick skin, they are not easily upset or offended by criticism or unkind remarks. It’s interesting to note that in Chinese we have a similar saying. We call a person either “thin-faced” or “thick-faced,” referring to the fact that some people easily become flushed when criticized while others feel comfortable and at ease when rejected. |
