RE: How To Do Sales For Your Business Without Feeling Slimy
When I was in college I got a job as a car salesman and I had to quit after three days, essentially you were paid in proportion to how well you could lie to people, I just couldn't do it.

thanks for your thoughtful reply, I look forward to reading that post.
