TW, L.B. is quite right as to the realities of THAT TYPE of SALES.

IMHO you'd be better off in another type of sales as you seem to find this long-term relationship building sales very frustrating. Why do that to yourself?

Another option might be to hire someone (a patient but persistent type salesperson) to do the actual follow up after you've done the initial stuff. A partner might solve a LOT of your problems. Just an idea.

Know I said I wouldn't bother but you're hurting and I hate to see people just butting their head against a brick wall...even if a wall gives eventually, it still hurts like hades.
