SO! Those of you who stalk me know that I have a new job. Working for where I do, it is a purely commission based pay scale. I get a percent of all sales I make.

The problem is this: No one is buying the services that I'm soliciting. I pitch it like Billy Mays and no one is stepping up to the plate. So I tone it down. Next time I'm like the Sham-Wow guy. No dice, no high rollers.

Anyone have any sales advice for me? Because I quite honestly (though I would never tell it to his face) do more work than my boss. I do his "full time workload" in two hours. I call and I call and I call and get verbal phone-doors slammed in my face. I've done sales before. I know it's hard. But perhaps I need to change my tactics.

I think I'll check back later and see if anyone has any thoughts, and in the meantime, I'm off to read Sun Tzu's The Art Of War

Take it easy, writerfriends!
