“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
When I was in high school, I sold cutco knives to friends and family. The only thing scarier than a door to door salesman is how easily people can be convinced to buy something.

Cold callers tend to do well..if ur smart, get into to a PE/HF chop shop sourcing deals. If ur good, u make more than you would at Avon.
...selling is a skill set at the foundation of every job and the epitome of every job
