Why do Americans view sales people in such a positive light?

I have just returned from Los Angeles, having run a course for a new client there. I am always amazed by the reception you receive in America when you inform people you are in sales, and this visit was no different from the look on the face of the guy at immigration letting a British guy in to teach Americans how to sell, to that positive initial response you get from everyone who asks what you do for a living.I wish we could create the same perception of our profession in the UK.There are bound to be some rogue traders in America, as there are over here; however the profession is seen in a totally different light.What can we do to improve the overall impression of salespeople in the UK?
