I did no such thing. > Sorry, no insult intended! I suppose I just projected because having to do sales of something like vaccuum cleaners is MY nightmare..... I'm glad you've never been in that position. I suppose your sales job was something like helping sell advanced technical services or software. I've actually been peripherally involved in activities like that and did fine with them. But the thought of cold-calling people to sell some general bit of merchandise, either on the phone or door-to-door is definitely nightmare-inducing for me. -- Novice
