I believe aspergers people can be successful at sales as it's very methological. what it comes down to is Tonality and Struture. I talk in monotone naturally so what I do is record myself and add tonality. The 3 main tonalities are:

1. Enthusiastic: means you've got a great deal for the NTs

2. "Sharp as a tack": means to NT you can solve there problems

3. Your an authority figure: someone NTs will take orders from

lastly I only sell products that will HELP people. most people don't want to go into sales and that's cool too :) its just sales is a special interest for me.

Here are some books I haven't read but plan on reading (excluding straight line persuasion)

I believe that you are either not an Aspie, or that you have something that you are trying to sell to Aspies.

Either way, you seem to have no understanding of the fact that for many of us, simple eye contact is a very stressful situation, and that being unable to speak in public is virtually impossible.

And just reading a few books isn't going to change that.

I meant to say, "... and that being able to speak is virtually impossible ..."

This demonstrates how even the printed form of communication is fraught with hazards, and how easy it is for an Aspie (even one with my level of education) to say the complete opposite of what was meant to be said.

I was diagnosed when I was 8 with aspergers. While I have huge hurdles in normal conversation talking about why a product is good is far easier than making friends/ getting a date

While I gave some sales resources I don't care how people aquire them or whether they find other books instead.

Lasty when I talked about tonality I wasn't holding back information for my "master system" I don't have a master system . I feel tonality is sometimes overlooked in sales and when mixed with any good resource a sales person would go far

You really don't like salespeople do ya
