Sell-reflections

There's something satisfying about meeting new people, talking to someone whom you do not know. Something magical about creating a short-lived connection with someone whom you have never met, but have come to talk to. It's like knowing 100 over people in a day? Except that it's like speed-knowing? Most of the people you get to talk to is actually a "Hi-bye" acquaintance. Those that stopped to listen to you, you get a concise judgement just by talking to them and watch the way they behave. What's going through the mind of a salesman each day when he needs to talk to hundreds of people today but might only get the chance to talk to a handful perhaps? Is he going to give up? No way. For sure, I'm not a hard-selling kind of salesperson.

I'm just trying to buy myself more confidence...

More than just buying yrself confidence, maybe u can treat every work day as a crash course in human relations. One diff module per day. Then from there, u will really be more process, learning-oriented.
