Thinking on it, some of the most successful direct sales people I’ve known are best described as aloof. Some of the most good hearted people I know, but their aloofness is a reason they’ve been so successful at sales. When someone else would read a person’s body language and back off, these people don’t really notice body language and keep going. A lot of people will buy something when backed into a corner, so it results in high sales.

One friend that comes to mind asked us genuinely last night if we were still having a crawfish boil this weekend .. when the friend who cooks it lost his dad yesterday. He absolutely meant no harm and genuinely figured it was still on. Just aloof. Did very well when he was in sales. Super likable dude.

Damn that's a great observation. Have to have no shame, but it's a lot easier when you don't even have the awareness to have the shame in the first place.
