How do I teach myself to be a salesman?
avdempsey: Try door to door canvassing for a month (or three). After returning from some travel I picked up a job at greenpeace to tide myself over. Any inhibitions to putting myself out there and selling were hammered out in the three months I fund-raised for them. They train you, support you in the field, and most importantly make you _practice_ selling for 4 hours a day. There's just no replacement for experience. I needed a little strong-arming to get out and learn how to sell.
