I have never been comfortable with lying about services or products period. If the product or service is good, you don't need to lie. And if the product isn't something someone needs then personality comes into play. Honesty gets you way more friends and support than dishonesty, plus lies are hard to keep track of. The truth is much easier... I once had a sales job where the trainer was training me to lie. I went to the boss an hour later and said I want to try it on my own, and I just told the truth. It was a door to door magazine sales job, I traveled to all 50 states selling magazines and was a top sales agent because I told the truth. I told people it was my job, I didn't lie and say I was doing it for some college (if you are from the US you have had to heard that dirty lying spiel at some point) People couldn't understand how I was selling 20+ subscriptions a day while they were lucky to sell 7. The truth goes further, and if you can't tell the truth about the product or service, we likely shouldn't be buying it anyways.
