Parrot was not so great in the sales department. More often than not when he went on a sales call he made things all the worse by trying to pretend he was much better at sales than he actually was. The clients could always tell he was faking and were uneasy to do business with him after this. Speaking with his co-worker, Parrot learned that even if he wasn’t the best salesman in the world, faking a persona in front of clients would never land him a sale! From that point on Parrot stuck to his true personality and even though he might not have been the best, his clients trusted him more with his flaws and all.
