On LinkedIn, sales lessons are everywhere. The guy who learned something about selling while waiting in line at Chipotle. The woman who had a sales breakthrough on her way to the airport. Lessons are everywhere, and they are aplenty.

But there’s one very important place where we can all learn some sales lessons — the music we listen to! While it might not seem like our favorite hits can teach us much about the world of selling, there are plenty of great tidbits we can find if we just listen closely.
