The AxBean Chronicles: Is hate too soft a word for selling?

Selling has never been my strong suit. There are two people in my family that have the sales genes, my mother and one of my brothers. Unfortunately they live in another state because if they didn't, I would seriously ask them to do this horrible task for me.

There are many reasons why my palms start to sweat at even the thought of doing this. The feeling I'm intruding on someone's time. The ambush they must suddenly feel when they realize I'm trying to sell them my service. Oh, don't forget the stupor. The nervousness that sets in and what seems like an eternity, my mouth just hangs open.

I readily admit that I'm a certified introvert. I'm more comfortable helping people with their projects if they came to me instead of me seeking their business. But our livelihood can't survive with me being a wallflower. Going out into the world and meeting strangers has helped to get AXbean promoted.

I would love to rely on just social media for marketing but that's unrealistic. Having a home based business that stands out among the many takes face to face action. That's the reality of a long and successful business. So, if you see my mouth stuck open, be a dear and close it.
