Dear Kratom,

I've been numb for so long that I forgot how to feel
So I don't care if it will break my heart,
Just fuck me till I disappear

Drink the Kool-aid, work at a bank! I just accepted a phone banker position making almost $15/hr, dress code: casual (no flipflops or pj's), no drug test, paid time off, and its a cushy desk job.

Drink the Kool-aid brah..

:sip:

Does anyone you work with do well at it? Maybe you could ask for pointers if you're going to stick with it.



yes - there are vets who have been there 20 years. they still do way better then me but, and i failed to mention this, they have been suffering compared to their usual sales since this big change we had in the company recently that made everything so fucking expensive.

OP: You should order one thousand of your products and say that you met a businessman that made a deal with you.

Once you get 1000 of your 85$ item, sell it all on ebay for 50$. Ditch the company, never pay them.

100% legal

Man, I could never cold call strangers. I don't handle rejection well, and I imagine that job is 99% rejection.

Why would anyone even want to be in sales?

If you're a salesman, it's your job to convince the customer its worth it.

Me?  I'm like the guy in the viagara commercial.  I'm at the point in my life where I'm certainly willing to pay more for something that's better.  People do that all the time, with all sorts of items.

Ever go to a women's store selling designer handbags?  They're fucking packed.  The purses are hundreds of dollars (if not more).  They don't hold more than a grocery bag.  I pay extra for polo shirts, for a Honda accord (instead of a civic), for high quality steaks, an ultra high end blu-ray player.  The list goes on and on.

Honestly OP, I think YOU gotta believe in it.  But people will definitely pay for quality, even if its only marginally better.

...most subjects find the experience valuable, some find it frightening, and many say that is it uniquely lovely.

QFT.

I'm the same way. I'll always pay more for the higher quality, if it's something I care about.

Umm its called banter. Its not hard to talk people into buying things they dont need. I dont even think it has anything to do with the quality. All though people will buy better quality to impress there friends.  Work on your talking skills. At tge end of the day its a company and I bet the guy who ownd it is sippin mai tais around his pool.
