Where to find sales training, etc.

As I'm gaining more experience in investing and learning more I wonder what opportunities are out there for other related fields that could boost my skills as an investor. I'm planning to continue a full time job, preferably a part time job so I can focus more on investing.

I'm considering companies with great sales training or entrepreneurship training. I'm interested in small business training. I did recently get emails from Farmer's insurance asking me to interview.

If anyone out there can recommend high quality programs or other avenues for training I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

Insurance sales is an excellent place to get sales training. If you can sell insurance you can sell anything, and they usually pay you to train. Insurance is an intangible product, you don't get to test drive a life insurance policy! You are selling a concept.

RE sales are all about selling concepts, you sell the concept and the property sells itself. :)
