The reason I couldn't be a salesman is that I can't sell like that to another person.
I feel bad selling something for drastically more than I got it for, even if it does mean profit. It's a personal thing, and so it wouldn't feel right to me to do it. Doesn't mean it's unethical, just not something I can do.
I worked as a telemarketer, and I had the same problem. I was supposed to convince old grandmas that they'd save money with my plan, when they clearly wouldn't.
