Okay, you just got offered a work at home job (your first work-at-home job) but wait…you are going to have to sell something. Maybe you are not good at selling anything or you prefer not to because let’s face it those QVC hosts didn’t just get that job because they wanted it, they had to have some sort of skill and technique to entice the viewers to get the product in their hands. If selling is not your niche, it will be a very frustrating experience, to say the least.
