I got a job!

[The Showstoppa]

ever been in sales?

I think to be a good manager in sales especially in areas where you are expected to make lots of individual sales with add ons you need to understand what the sales ppl are dealing with.

its ok to remind them that they are there to sale but in a way that shows youre there for them if they need your help with training and questions. Dont just tell someone they need to get their numbers up, ask if there is anything they need help with or if they specifically struggling in an area that you could help them with.

get ready to role play your ass off...thats the best way to practice sales imho

Good advice.  I hated roll playing when i first started, but you find out it does have it's place.  the only problem being that only about 25% of the sales ever go like a roll play... haha

I think another good thing in sales is to implement follow-up with customers.  Don't know if his current company does it, but if not they should start. Helps identify weaknesses and causes your customers to spread good word of mouth....

It's racist to think that a thug ambushing some drunk dude with accomplices, beating him and then robbing him like you did makes one black.

nice to see the story has taken on its own life lol.

I agree especially with the scripted role plays, In all my sales jobs we would role play with fellow sales ppl who knew the situations we encountered and would steer it that way so it helped more.

also some funny ass shit when you get bored and just start trying to fuck with one another to see what the other person does while still trying to stay in character...

haha, we did that too....had bi-yearly sales meetings with owners/mgmt and we always had a lot of fun with the new guys.....have them second guessing and backtracking on stuff they KNEW.....

WOW...It took a year but oh well.  It's my first upper management job and I'll have my own store.  Won't say what it is for obvious reasons.

Listen up black fellas.  When you're an uncle tom like me and marry white, talk white, act white, and think white, good things happen.

I go in tomorrow to negotiate salary.  Any tips ladies and fellas? I'm not really good at this being a career military man.

give some pointers to swede because i swear he's been unemployed for at least 4-5 yrs, or has gone through something like 10-15 PT jobs.

Learn the art of flattery and mental appeasement.   When selling, all you need to do is boost their confidence to outrageous levels, get them in a high, and then reassure their mind that whatever product you are selling is necessary in order for their little mind to be at ease.

All people want is to feel good about themselves and they also need reassurance.  You can also bring in a third party, unknown to your mark, to flatter, calm and reassure.   Nothing beats solid confirmation of quality and experience from another source other than yourself.

Also, create and further their desire for whatever product you are selling.  If they feel they simply cannot live without your product, then they will be BEGGING you to sell it to them, even if you raise the price.


I could go on for years...

Hope when Wiggs goes in for the "salary" negotiation he remembers to drop some "yo's" and "wif's" in the conversation......and he should feel free to tell them he "keeps it real."  should boost by $10k starting out.....
