selling tat

chewy

was on the dart the other day and people all dressed in suits came onto the train one of the guys was talking loudly so i noticed him....

i thought they were jehovas witness or something cos they were dressed similarily and the loug guy had a box with holy cross display written on the side of it


but it seems they were door to salespeople and when i got they had wheeled suitcasesd full of the things and he had taken them out to train them or something and he continued to do so on the train.. so i listenend in

he was going on about setting goals and the various different levels, and responsibility you would attain....

he also said you gotta talk fast and sell the thing before they know what they doing... encourage impulse buying

he spoke at length im just summarising... he did speak extremly fast and sounded like the type of guy who would think he is smarter then you can could sell you anything..... the girl he was talking to mostly said that she would remember the most of the stuff but the stuff about talking fast to sell and be gone she woudn't remember (as if she wasn't comfortable with this, my inference)

ok so there go getters you gotta be mtivated to be a salesman etc but when i saw they were selling crosses you can imagone who might actaully by them olderr women who are more religious seems like they just selling tat to vunerable people to me

Manipulating people into buying stuff they don't need - one of the foundations of our civilisation, really.

....wtf? I don't mean to be doing the grammer police here, but come on! one comma at least. I had to read this about 5 times to understand! Unless you were trying to capture the confusion and speed at which your man talked, in that case - well done my friend. You should consider a career in poetry!

From one of the more thoughtful sales reps of the world, he is obviously a poor sales rep. Better sales come from slow talking and listening to his punters.

That would be if he was selling a product people wanted - but he's selling tat, a pure sales pitch all style, no substance and a customer asking 2 minutes later "why did I buy this?". Unsustainable, but true.
