i did door-to-door sales. pure rejection. got over that fear quickly. if you really think about it any job in any industry has a sales component. you're selling your self internally or externally consistently. the engineer with the great software idea isn't going to go anywhere if he can't sell it to a VC and then find a sales person to monetize it.
i've worked in fortune 500 - IT as a Product Manager and been around some amazing sales guys. these are the guys with a 5M-10M sales target and pulling in 100K base with an opportunity to make 200-500K annually. once I saw them making all the money I switched my career and got into sales. there's nothing like B2B selling the stakes are high, competition is fierce and the rewards are huge. the guys you work with are competitive, pure alphas, go-getters, cocky, etc. perfect for game.
