I sold furniture for 7 years. I had some real struggles at times. Hard to initiate conversations with some customers at times too. Lots of anxiety. Glad I had a name tag on because saying my name is hard for me. Customers found it enduring though and they really connected with me because despite my stutter I still gave it my all. I was #3 in the company 2 times in customer scores and we have over 20 stores in 3 states. Some days were harder than others. Believe in yourself and you can accomplish great things. I left the sales game 3 years ago. I miss it at times.
