See Dave, the main thing at this point is that you NEVER, EVER, EVER shut the fuck up, it's just an endless barrage. If you can lower the doses, maybe your stench can be a bit more palatable.

He's actually a somewhat decent poster when he's not trying to be funny.

EDIT: Like so^. The dude on top of the car is pretty cute though.

I gotta admit, it's still very strange to be talking to a man and have him comment that another man is "cute"

I have a soft spot (or is it a hard spot?) for mexican men, for some reason.

Speaking of banging, I love the drums on Death's Leprosy. The snare is really loud and machinegun-like (especially on "Open Casket").

"Art of selling"

I am not sure if anybody else here works in sales, but I am really fascinated by this work. I came into this job at GNC with no experience ever in selling anything and within 2 months, I have become one of the best salesman in the region. I slowly learn new things and each and everyday and it is immensely interesting/rewarding.

Basically the key to selling anything is 3 things
1)Getting customer to spend a lot of money
2)Making the shopping experience a VERY pleasant one, this is absolutely crucial. I will often times spend 30 - 40 times socializing with a customer so they develop a relationship with me and come back to me in the future. This is how a store develops a strong customer base
3)Getting the customer a product they will absolutely LOVE. This is equally as significant; selling a customer something very high priced that is basically worthless is a good way to destroy the stores credibility and have that guy spread that word that your employees are morons. I spend several hours a week researching the latest information so our customers get the absolute finest product.

I may end up opening my own small business thanks to the knowledge and experience I have been able to acquire here. I am even considering franchising a GNC with my dad (I figure that with my sales and training abilities, The store should be able to make 400 k a year and then like 1/3 of that is profit for me.

yea long post but I wanted to share it

It's posts like these that are particularly annoying, Dave.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

that came out to be more ego-padding which was not my intention. That was just some random thoughts off the top of my head, I suppose.

anyways, if anybody here 18-20 is looking to make great money. Find a decent commission based job and I can show you how to easily make 11-14 an hour.

"Art of selling"

I learned a lot about this from my brother. It all makes sense, really; very few sales people sincerely care about you.

Why the hell would they?

I learned a lot about this from my brother. It all makes sense, really; very few sales people sincerely care about you.

and that's a very big mistake that shitty salesmen make

the satisfaction + relative success of the customer is absolutely CRUCIAL to you.

The guy stepping in the store is paying your paycheck, the happier he is, the more money he will put in your wallet

not only do I take the time (sometimes 30+ minutes) to socialize with my customers, I do everything possible (IE writing guides on how to gain muscle size or strength) to make sure that he will succeed with his goals and will return to specifically me for all his supplement needs in the future.

I can't tell you how rewarding it is to sell somebody 180 dollars worth of products and then have them THANK you for it , I do it routinely.

the other huge key I forgot to mention is to destroy the salesman - buyer relationship. I don't interact with my customers as salesman, I interact with them as my friends. People are so defensive when they first walk in the store that trying to sell them shit right away will nearly always result in an EXTREMELY defensive response. This makes selling MUCH more difficult

it's a interesting process.

Make friends with customer + Make a very strong, powerful sales pitch + High priced, but very high quality product that will make you a lot of money + Get customers the best deal you can possibly get + finish off the sale with a very satisfied customer who promises to return next time his supplements run out.

That's a good idea.

That's a good idea.

So is killing himself, but unfortunately that's on the bottom of his list of BAD ideas.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

That's a good idea.

I think so, If I can get it in a good area and get 30 customers a day, I think the store can easily make 450 - 500 grand a year.

Isn't 500K a little low or would that be net of taxes?
