I have been in sales for decades. Construction now. I tried copier sales (owner was a friend of the girl I was dating) a long time ago. All I can say is I hated it. They would send me to a high rise and tell me to ride to the top floor and cold call every office all the way down. If he can get his confidence up (make a few sales) he should be able to sell anything later on his career. The key is to have some info prior to visiting as to whom the decision maker is. Getting by the front desk girl/guy can be brutal. They are the gate keepers.
I lasted 3 weeks and ran like hell.
