Sure, this is a pretty decent blog to give you more info on not only pattern interrupts, but other important sales concepts, too: http://www.salesproblog.com/what-is-a-pa...interrupt/
Okay, now I'm getting some more facts about the situation, kk.
Well, how many salespeople does your boss have? If there are others, there must be one that is pretty successful at it? If so, model as much as you can off of them, as what they are doing is already successful. Maybe have your boss organise a meeting where that person can instruct each of you on what they do. Your boss won't need much convincing on that, as he stands to make a lot more money once you all start selling more.
Don't worry about what everyone ELSE is doing. In my niche, I'm extremely young, but I'm driven and had a unique twist that I knew people would respond to, so I plowed into the niche and have done amazingly well. Despite the fact that this industry is rife with old people and multi-generational companies. And most people online, don't make a dime, so don't let the fact that lots of people are "selling" online deter you. Setting yourself apart from them isn't too hard, with the kind of research we've talked about. You'll have a big leg up with what I've given you already. You don't have to be perfect to make money, just good enough to get going, the rest you can do on the fly. Don't let perfectionism or analysis paralysis rob you of the success you want and keep you from taking action. You wouldn't BELIEVE what I started with, trust me, it doesn't matter as much as you think as long as you control the other variables as I discussed. People don't care about flashy websites NEARLY as much as a solid, well priced product or service.
Yeah, you aren't stuck selling windows if you don't want to. Maybe the market is crap or oversaturated, maybe the windows aren't that hot compared to competitors, maybe customers want things that other windows have, or they view it as unimportant. Whatever the case may be, that market research I spoke of will give you that picture. Even if you don't keep selling windows, you can apply what I've said to any niche you decide to do and do well with it.
