Mafoo, 1 in 6 seems a bit high as a hit rate. I doubt that if I went to 6 people, one person would buy a 1200 dollar vacuum. I think 1 in 6 seems like a good number of people that would be even willing to hear your pitch! So getting a 1:30 or a 1:40 hitrate sounds more realistic to me.

If you get 40 pitches in a week and sell one vacuum, i think that would average around 435 or whatever it is, right?

You are not going out cold. Someone in an office somewhere called people up, and told them they get something for free if they listen to the pitch. So, all of them want the item, so they must listen to the presentation.

 

He told me 1 in 6, and I did 12, and sold 2. That second sell made me feel like such a low life, I quit.
