The Room 208 Blog

When I worked in a sales position over the phone I was selling vacuum cleaners. We were supplied with a list of candidates we were expected to cold call. It was hard work and hard on the emotions. The rejection was quite intense and you worked towards a low conversion to meet your targets. I did learn the finer points of telephone selling and this has served me well throughout my career. I have been able to apply the skills I learned to other industries and job positions.
