Well, one of my many side careers is, I'm a Mary Kay gal. No I don't drive a pink Cadillac and don't especially want one. My approach is, I sell this stuff, it's really good, if you want it great, if you don't great. I never shove because I hate when people do that to me. I don't do scripts because you can always tell when someone's doing a script. (Now, some people are really good at the script thing, and that's fine for them.)Even with that very laid-back approach, I have paid for vacations, Christmas shopping, etc., and get all my own stuff at a discount. Not bad. Plus my skin has really cleared up! :)

Sales is a skill just like any other. Unfortunately a lot of companies don't realize this and will hire anyone who's breathing, and give them little to no training. -sigh- It just don't work that way...
