I can relate. I thought Sales was a sleazy industry...I wanted nothing to do with it. It turns out that as soon as you go Fastlane, your ideas mean nothing without sales and marketing! In fact, those are two of the most valuable skills you can develop. Every company needs people who can turn ideas into dollars. There are plenty of operations people in this world, but few who can really sell. In-person or online, you're dealing with similar psychology, so the skills apply everywhere.
My recommendation to "practice" is to go find yourself someone who will mentor you on selling and marketing. In order to do this, you're going to have to go out and talk to people, put yourself "out there," and sell to them why they should mentor you. You'll also have to build the sales skill of researching and targeting in order to figure out who you want to mentor you.
It'll be a great experience and if you succeed, you'll have someone to help level-jump your practices and results. Win-win.
Good books to pick up:
1. How to Win Friends and Influence People
2. Anything by Zig Ziglar
