That is indeed a big part of the problem. Some of us are good at
sales, and some aren't. It doesn't necessarily reflect on the
quality of the "product" (ourselves), but it sure does cut down
on "sales."

The same consideration applies to job-hunting. Being the best damned
<fill-in-your-craft-or-profession-here> in the world doesn't 
necessarily mean that other person is going to hire you.

The old saw about first impressions is true, but not always valid.
