Well I would start by reading a book on the subject but that is not going to help you with the technical things, selling in person is more of how naturally you can come off, how comfortable you are talking to other people, I am a shy person by nature but when I was 19 I had a part time job as a salesman, I never did any sales previous to that job and surprisingly after my first customer I was no longer a shy person, I could easily make sales.
So what made me a good salesman?, Well I told myself to give it a shot and do my best, plus it helped out a large amount that I knew the product the customer was interested in, it was a PS2 at the time and he was trying to compare it with the XBox, I simply told him some technical specs and told him which one I owned, which one I used and how I felt this one was a better choice.
I don't know if that little story helped you out but the moral of it is learn about the product your selling, try to be a natural speaker (not pre-rehersed) and give it your best shot, whats the worst that could happen? They could say no, in which you'd just move on.
