Most face to face salesmen I know are very skilled socially. If I wanted to improve my social skills, I would definitely try selling something. That's what social skills are, actually - selling yourself. In many deals, the product isn't what's important, its the image of the salesman. One real story I know consists of a man who took a job selling xerox copiers JUST to train himself. He ended up a rather wealthy business and property owner because of the social skills acquired by doing this.
