Several years ago I left my "comfort zone" and intentionally pursued a few sales jobs such as car sales, telesales, and they were both quite gruelling. Needless to say I didn't last long. Not because I didn't actually surprise myself in my ability to sell but I found it difficult since I was probably doing what Konrath said "selling TO a prospect" The internet has its own nuances but I'm sure many principles are the same, if not requiring more subtlety?? My earlier sites were VERY sales pitchy. But I think I've toned it down a bit lol Cheers for the salesshebang link...good read Hi Drew,

Sales is by far the most misunderstood profession within the realm of marketing. It's such a good cause, just helping people solve their problems. It's the telesales and other less honest salesmen that have given the entire industry an awful reputation. I really like this point.
