Have you ever tried selling before? Idk maybe it was just my personality but I felt like such a bitch cold calling people and asking them to buy something. Even if they came into our office I still didn't feel confident trying to sell. It was pretty much all nerves. It just didn't mesh with me at all.
I hate sales. I had to fake my personality to do it. I was miserable everyday too. I worked at a jewelry store during the holidays one year.

I love Let it Go, but I'm biased since I have two little girls who can belt it out in the car. It makes me smile.

see I hate my job and give no effort so I think thats why I have not made a sale. But I will tomorrow when I act all fake. And if I make the sale, its possible I could get out of that job in 2 weeks and move somewhere else

I worked as a telemarketer selling alumni association memberships. Making cold calls to alumni who had never donated. That sucked.

EVERY Conversation went nearly exactly like this:
Customer: Hello?
Me: Hi this is UMR from XYZ Insurance I was wondering if I could have a minute of your time to talk about...
Customer: Let me stop you right there. NO!
*click*
Every one of those conversations eroded my soul and broke my confidence. It was brutal.

Making cold calls
My friend has been a financial advisor for 2 months and lives 100% off of commissions. Says he makes about 60 cold calls a day every day and he's made a total of 1 sell and that was to my 84 year old grandmother who I set him up with.

I love the sales I'm in, but it's not cold calling.

You can't quit without one sale now.Posted on 3/2/14 at 8:48 pm to diddydirtyAubie
Well it was the summer before my freshman year at OM so I had to leave
I have to do a little selling at my current job but it's nothing similar to that. I'm still pretty shitty at it though.
