this is like one of those five year plans in the soviet union! "you will produce 200 bushels of potatoes or else!"
yeah, or else I get whacked, lol
probably not actually, but I need to make some DOUGH
if I hit quota, it's worth like $11,000 in my pocket

SOS = Special Order Sales, which means selling something the store does not have in the back. FOr example, wall ovens, cooktops, or specially designed or colored refrigerators, dishwashers, etc.
The extended service is EPP- Extended Protection Plan. It's fairly difficult to sell because people are cheap.

that extended protection should be pretty easy to sell on large appliances ... people are not going to haul those to a repair shop if busted ...
the rule is ... if the plan costs about 20% of the price of the item, usually worth it.
we used to sell this plan that was $9.99 on small electronics ... even radios that were $10 ticket fell under this plan ... beleive it or not sometimes people would buy it.
this is pre mp3 days, when everything had gazzillions of moving parts and a cassette walkman was $100

Most common responses to EPP:
1. "Nah, if it breaks down, I'll just buy a new one" (usually after he/she has bought a crappy washer/dryer.)
2. "Well, it's new, so it should last beyond 5 years, right?"
3. "No, I never buy those things, though I know I should."
4. "Can I buy it after my manufacturer warranty expires?" Um, NO!!!!!!!
And it's funny, because these are the people who expect you to fix it after their warranty has run out.

Ours - well, my division (Enterprise Sales) - works off a renewal base + YOY (year-over-year) growth.
The accounts I've been "assigned" for 2006 carry a 2005 expenditure of $1.47 million. My quota is based off that + growth, which is why I'm being asked to produce $450k in just 1 quarter (as you can see that's much more than 1/4 of $1.47 million).
On top of that, I'm entirely new to this role (Enterprise), so I've basically been thrown in the deep end, lol

for an extended 4 years, it's $80-$100
2 years - about $40-$80
for me, it's a no-brainer. because if even the smallest thing goes wrong, it pays for itself
