1 answer - Asked By: sagar - 12/14/2012
I've been shy ever since I can remember even though most people consider me attractive, smart, and capable. I'm a 22 year old male and all of my life I have been told of my "potential" and how I need to avoid being complacent. If you saw me walking down the street most people would just assume I had lots of friends and got lots of girls. The reality is that I pretend this is the case because my pride prevents me from accepting help from other people and admitting how hard it is for me to connect with people. I have a paralyzing fear of judgment. I excelled in high school but part of the reason I dropped out of college was because I was unable to make any friends or "fit in." I hide in my room and think all day instead of throwing myself into society and seeing what happens. This is in spite of the fact that I work as a commission salesperson and my job requires me to work intimately with people and families every single day. Most people wouldn't know I was shy because I have learned ways to hide my slightly trembling hands, and quietly wiping away my sweating brow. I know that I can be happy, successful, productive and satisfied if only I could overcome my paralyzing shyness. If I could just conquer this one thing my horizons would be so much brighter. I am looking for ways to get over my shyness, techniques to defeat my fear of judgement, and advice on becoming more confident and outgoing.

I'm thinking of becoming a liscensed real estate salesperson as a second job. Once I get my license, is it possible to only work nights and weekends? Also, are most jobs commision only on property sold? If so that is why I'm hesitant to quit my day job. Any other information about what to expect once I'm licensed would really help.

I may have the opportunity to be trained and paid by a very reputable company to sell insurance to senior citizens. Should I persue this job? I just got laid off my position at a start up company as a manager. I have what it takes to be a good sales person, I'm just not sure if this is a good gig or not. In response to my first answer: I need a job. I just lost mine in this economy.

Hey, I work in the cell phone industry in MI (highly over-saturated). I work as a sales rep, so people come in, have questions about phones, it's my job to approach them, answer questions, and try to close sales. I personally think I'm efficient at what I do. However, I do believe my major weakness is being AGGRESSIVE when I try to close deals. It's not that I'm shy or anything, just that a lot of times, there will be long moments of silence, and I feel I have wasted an opportunity to close the deal. Other times, I feel as if I had lost a sale, simply because of the fact I wasn't "pushy" enough, but in part, the problem is, (in my mind) that a "pushy" salesperson is annoying, and I try not to have that look. Do I know what the hell I'm talking about? Any tips, or links to websites that have tips on this subject? Thanks.

I am interested in a local company where I live to sell Kirby vacuums. I was just wondering how much you actually make. In the ad it says 400 a week, but I also looked over the internet, and it says people have never received their check should I try to get into this company or stick with my current job which is Sears?

I will interview with a successful direct mail marketing company looking for an Advertising Salesperson tomorrow...Any good words of wisdom? I think asking for tips from others is an excellent way to improve my ability to impress an interviewer I have a B.S. in Mass Communications with an emphasis in advertising. I am fresh out of college, have excellent references from my professors but no outside sales experience. I have worked at my campus' bookstore (sales associate/receiving) and at a hotel front desk. The company is very successful. I look forward to receiving their mailings because they are packed with coupons for restaurants, hotels, etc. They have expanded all over two states (starting from a small market.)
