Good day!
I worked (loyally, if I may say so) for 17 years as an outside sales rep for a company that closed its doors last year, which left me jobless at the age of 50. Yikes!
Since I haven't been able to find another acceptable job (they won't have me or I won't have them), I have decided to sell as an independent rep. The problem with this (for me) is that I have no support group, no one to help motivate me, or to share in successes and/or loses.
I haven't read much of the boards yet, so I am not sure if this forum is truly what I am looking for, but here I am...giving it a try. Procrastination of cold calls is my biggest obstacle (I'm sure some can relate to that).
Finally found a sales forum!
You'll find plenty to help you out over here. As far as motivation goes, success is a great motivator. Come by as often as you like to share some stories.
