[Hidden-tech] Learning to sell/request for sales mentors

[Michael Eger]

Dear Hidden-Tech,

I just been hired for a sales job with major national lawn treatment
provider.  This is my first real sales job so I am little "over my head".

Selling lawn care is quite different then working in IT, I have a steep
learning curve, but my boss is former a techie so if he can do it so can I.

Here is what I say without reveling too much.

I sell door to door.
We have a 9 step weed/feed program.
We organic option.
We sell on quantity not price.

Trying to make a career change is not easy so I am asking for help. I would
like advice on how best to sell by door knocking, advice on farming leads,
and I also would like to find a sales mentor or two.

I want to thank everyone in advance for all the wisdom you will share with
me.
