You're aware that asking "Even the height part?" was your critical mistake, right?
Look. I've worked in sales. I've sold products that were, let me be blunt, pure shite.
You don't walk up to your prospective customer and say, "Hello sir! I wonder if I could interest you in the exchange of your hard earned cash dollars in trade for this product which is, let me be blunt, pure shite." At least not if you feel like eating, you don't.
And if in the course of the conversation they CATCH ON that it's, let me be blunt, pure shite, you spin the shite as a positive. "Sure it's shite, but it's colorful! And shiny! The ladies love shiny colorful shite, sir!"
Being 5'5" isn't a problem, and you "shouldn't be self conscious" about it, he said knowing damn well it wouldn't make any difference. But at the VERY least you don't need to be pointing it out to them.
