Comment preview: I worked in sales for a while during college. The store I worked for sold electronics, furniture, appliances and the like. We had a few black sales people, and a few Hispanic ones. I can't even *count* how many times that a hostile situation was brought ....

Comment preview: It's mostly for sales. If you've got hundreds of professional photographers working, and you know they're going to be buying a professional lens, why not loan them one, and get them hooked on the results? This is the best sales sight in four years. Thes ....

Comment preview: Fuck this. I worked sales for a year and took a job in hard labor because I get paid more, work outside, don't need to pay for a gym membership, and can relax and be outdoors instead of standing behind a counter. For those thinking you're stuck in a sales ....

Comment preview: Meh, thats not really a sign of a bad store. I use to work as a cashier/bagger/customer service/ supervisor in a grocery store. Now I work as a sales rep for a food company (in grocery stores, where I said I never wanted to work again). The stores labor is ....

Comment preview: In the US, you are not allowed to be tipped unless you work with direct customer interaction (IE on the sales floor) if it is just a tip jar and not personal tips, the tip jar should be split up after a designated period of time, and split equally among di ....

Comment preview: I'll try to keep it brief(ish) but keep in mind that most of this happens over the course of a year and I will not get into names and places because no burnt bridges and all that. TL;DR - Had a really sweet gig making good money, lose my mentor, white guy ....

Comment preview: I'm a radio DJ. I'm still pretty fresh in my career, so I'm only part time right now. I can't tell my parents anything about the ongoings of the station because regardless of the job title, they think working at a radio station = being an on-air jock. Exam ....

Comment preview: > I work in sales, and I do a lot of cold call outbound work. Does using a script ever work for sales? What if the person responding always responded once? Here's the thing, if every man sends out some scripted message about pretty eyes, flowing hair, a ....

Comment preview: I was a telemarketer for a few weeks (before you get on my tits about it, it was telemarketing or being homeless and I chose to keep a roof over my head.) The vast majority of people working there were in their 60s and had been working in sales their whole ....

Comment preview: A person in my office was promoted from being a film letterer (running software that uses a pen to draw letters on large-format film) to being a sales person. Sales people get laptops. So I give the new salesperson their laptop and everything's okay for a ....

Comment preview: Used to work in sales. Was speaking with a client, her daughter was playing nearby. We were going over a sales contract and it became apparent that I'd made a mathematical error. I said something to the effect of, "Sorry, the retardation is setting in ear ....

Comment preview: Firstly, be wary of accepting any sales position that fits into the "too good to be true category". I hope that you learn more about this before you leave your work, where you're actually doing ok for yourself. Most time shares don't sell at the sticker p ....

Comment preview: He's an idiot. Seriously, an idiot. You need to go on TV to get a makeover in order to work in *sales*? Who *is* this guy? Was he Brad Pitt/Chris Evans-style gorgeous himself? Was he also saying this to the men attending the workshop? OP, please don't list ....

Comment preview: > I can't comment too much on the logistics of that since I don't work in sales, but this company isn't an approved GoPro dealer. Last I checked you have no legal right to control who is allowed to resell your products. It is called the first sale doctr ....

Comment preview: Never ever do this, I work in sales...if you EVER have to answer questions about something online and then have to put in personal information that can be used to contact you it's a lead generator. The very worst kind, the kind that is sold to the shitties ....

Comment preview: While I was in college I found a job looking to hire someone for a "management" position in a sales company. As my major was Business Management, I thought "hey great!" I called them up and asked them if this was actually for a sales job as I was suspiciou ....

Comment preview: I work on the Sales side, and there's a pretty strict Chinese Wall between us and Editorial (to prevent sales $ from influencing how stories are written) so I can't comment on the paid writer vs. contributor/blogger relationship. I know we brought in Arian ....

Comment preview: I worked in sales with this right bitch 30 years older than me. You see, she really didn't like me. A fifty year old woman who hated that a twenty something novice came on to the scene and broke all sales records. Well this woman was not happy at no longer ....

Comment preview: I worked in sales in the electronics department of a national office supply chain for two years. Just like the "Back To School" sales in August, the "deals" are entirely bullshit. They steadily mark up products in the months leading up to Black Friday then ....

Comment preview: This is good advice, just be very careful - salespeople have been trained in overcoming the "absent decider" bit. Here are some examples of tactics I've used successfully (I used to peddle cellphones - slightly different, but sales is sales): * "No strings ....

Comment preview: >but he was being punished because his sales model wasn't the corporate's "rip the customer off" model. There's one thing that's *kinda* worth noting there. Best Buy, if they work the way that Future Shop does, sells most big products at damn near cost. ....

Comment preview: Currently writing this from an airport club lounge. I work as an sales engineer at a software company in the USA. My job involves traveling to customers all around North America to do pre-sales presentations and business discussions to sell our company's p ....

Comment preview: Years and years ago, I worked in retail. Tried to put myself through school, but I simply couldn't afford it. Through networking at job fairs, I found work in a copy room of a major law firm in my area. The pay was pretty bad, and most of the people there ....

Comment preview: This reminds me of this one time that i was selling an Amd rig. It was cooled by a cosair H80. It has some really rigid and springy tubing. Anyways, i was preparing it for the sale. Cleaning,missing screws, touch-ups, some cable mangement,and then some new ....

Comment preview: The one killer feature of "steam" is the sales. I got quite some games with the price 50%-75% reduced, some even 85%. What would make steam unobtrusive would be if they did not require steam to run when running games. They could create a wrapper around the ....
