I have a phobia of hearing "No" from possible customers on telling how a great service works. Please help me.
I am scared of hearing the word "no" when I explain how a really great service help people. I just don't feel inadequate when I hear those customers say "no" to me. I do take it personally and know I shouldn't, but I don't know how to deal with it. I want to get past it because I do want to be a success at this or at anything I do..... Please help me!!

Simply get over it. No one likes to cold call. But, just keep telling yourself you have to get so many NOs to be successful.

Man - the bar scene must be a real b##ch for you.
You need to understand that No's are a good thing - you are that much closer to that Yes!
If you are hearing No alot, then you aren't dealing with their objections in your presentation.
It helps to BELIEVE in what you are selling. People can smell desperation on a salesman. If you are selling just to gain some cash flow - you will not be a success.
I suggest you get three books:
The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale
Secrets of Closing The Deal (Updated) by Zig Ziglar
The World's Greatest Salesman by Og Mandino
