Sales ... always my kryptonite. It's strange ... I am articulate, curious, and though at my core am an introvert, I am comfortable in most social situation. But sales? Terrible. I think it may be a counterreaction thing ... I am very aware when people are trying to sell me something. Sometimes I feel like someone is pissing down my leg and telling me it's raining. Or maybe I'm just very deliberate when making decisions. I wish I'd been better at it ... it would have helped me immensely during my career.

Great tips and I love the Maya Angelou quote.
Yes… basic human skills ☺️

Spot on. I'm going to share your post with my 22 year son who is a new field sales rep in NYC. It verifies many of "Dad's" suggestions.
