I don't "pick up women", but I am geek that can interact quite effectivly with real live women. I have a wonderful family to show for those skills

Obviously, this does not apply to you, but I'm sure you know some geeks who fit into this category. And "pick up women" is just a fast way of saying "forging a meaningful relationship with a young lady that shares similar interests and goals..." but that takes too long to type.

I've (kinda) been on both sides of the fence here; the sales aspect is MUCH harder than the tech part (IMHO). Not to say I don't respect the Tech's, but everyone loves dumping on the salesmen, so I'm a little sensitive to the topic...

Anybody got any tissues? (sniff, sniff)

Sales is only difficult when it comes to the "gut check". Some folks can't face walking into a room full of strangers and asking for money. Or even explaining how the new software works. Communication is the key. Complaints >> /dev/null. Grin!
