Employment opportunities with Betancourt Nutrition

[Melvin Goodrum]

But Steve pretty much IS a pre-madonna tranny, right? 

I actually ran into him at the O.  He's pretty much a yuppie and wore a watch that cost more than most people cars including mine respectively.  He's in pretty good shape but I think he needs to tone down on the expensive wearings and 500 dollar haircut a bit as it makes him look a bit out of place with middle class people like myself.......

I don't recall Jorge claiming that his products were the best on the market, but they are the best for flavours.  How much differentiation can you possibly have when it comes to basic products like creatine or glutamine anyway?

Regarding the salary, wouldn't it make sense that salesmen should rely heavily on commissions?   There needs to be an incentive to do the job well.

Supplement manufacturing is no doubt a tough market and one that I would not want anything to do with!  Seems like it is heavily saturated in competition.  I can vouch for the quality of Jorge's line.

Jorge was at the Iron Man Expo last year with a huge display of products. And he has some good stuff!

 The guy seems like a nice guy to be  honest.  I think everyone should give the guy a break here.

He is offering someone a decent opportunity. It isnt my thing but Im sure somone out there wouldnt mind giving it a shot.

Here are some pictures of Jorge that I jacked from a mayhem post from back in the day.

Keep in mind he was only 16 in the first picture.

Hahahahaha!!!!!


Jorge,


Are you aware that the federal government defines $19,000 per year as the official poverty line?  Maybe you should line up a few more investors (we don't want to know how you do it  )

24 grand is a perfectly acceptable as a base salary position.  Come on Haters!  The commission is where the real money is.  Think before you guys ridicule.

Matt were it not for the "travel part" you'd be an ideal candidate for Jorge.

I'm not so sure that is the case.  I've never done sales before.

You've never done "sales?"   

[Matt C]

You've never done "sales?"   

More specifically, not in an industry as saturated and competitive as the supplement industry, selling only one specific line.

C'mon guys, give Jorge a break. He's actually trying to reach out and HIRE A GETBIGGER! Considering most of us are completely unemployable, that's an admirable thing to do.

Plus, when you consider we still have 2 or 3 people who haven't made their first million and are still painting houses and mowing lawns, there are definitely some viable candidates!

Actually its a classic way of spamming your product but looking like you are offering someone something..

Nicely played Jorge...Most bought it hook,line and sinker..

[Matt C]

Sales =  a great thing to be good at. You could benefit greatly from getting a sales job to build up your sales skills.

I did at least a million in sales through my website in the time it's been up.

[Matt C]

Great stuff.

But Debussey = talking about that personal ability to sell yourself in person, to override other peoples rational judgements by using your sales skill to make them associate favourable emotions towards you.

This skill = great when negotiating.

I will sell my website if the price is right.

[Matt C]

How much?

How do you valuate a website?  X years revenue?  What is X?

Great points here.

Also on the fact most sales people are very bad. They have no idea they have to sell themselves.

I started my own business selling to retailers, and even with some 'tricks' i have written down to put my product on the shelf, they are last minute resorts once they think it's ok but need an extra push. If the person doesn't want to buy off me, they don't buy off me. They have to like you and you have to know how to adapt your personality in each case. Which many many people have no idea how to do.

24,000 dollars goes along way in bangladesh  lol

[NubianMuscle]

All of you haters should be thanking Jorge of this employment opportunity. Don't you realize that $24,000 plus commission is a lot more that most IFBB Pros make in one year?

Every single post Jorge has done here has been spam...Why would anyone think this is different

[LatsMcGee]

I'm sure he knew he'd get bashed here for posting that.  But he probably got a serious reply or three via PM...  I'm sure 240 is looking to supplement his income - $24k is like 80 websites!
