I used to work for Eb games back in the day, was in management and I discovered the people we hired that really had no interest in games were the better sales people because they weren't instilling their bias on the customer and didn't try to force them one way or the other. Even I had a problem when talking to customers not trying to get them to play games I liked instead of finding out what games THEY liked.
I learned more on beaing a good salesperson from the non-gamer employees.
Remember, it's easier to teach a good salesperson product knowledge than teach a gamer how to be a salesperson.

huh never thought of it that way but now that you point it out it makes sense. If you can't let go of you own preferences then you could never be a great salesperson but I think if you can like I had to do then its just as good if not better. I had to swallow my PlayStation pride and see that not everyone will like PlayStation. Not only has it made me a better salesman but also a better gamer.

Thats why I left EB Games after Gamestop bought them out, because their approach to hiring was all to hire gamers on the cheap, strip away all incentives because gamers will do anything to work around games.
