I feel something that has held me back from the fastlane has been my lack of experience in sales and the fear that sort of surrounds that. I actually am very good at sales at my proffesion because I know the product well and can show the value easily.

But what I want to do now is maybe pick up a part time job that is 100% sales and forces me to face any fear that I may have as to approaching strangers and selling.

I need some advice here as to what do you folks here feel would be the best type of job in which to do this. There is a company locally here that sells extended auto warrantys. I think they offer good training. That is basically what I want, training and experience that I can bring with me into my own business.
