Hardsell

Today was my first day working at The Source. I was almost late too haha. I left my house at 10:20am and I assumed it would take me about 20 minutes to walk there but I almost didn’t make it. When I got there, there was another new guy too. His name was Nathan. He’s cool so far. We looked at items and Nick (boss guy) got me to draw a map of all the products and where they were. Booring haha. Then they walked me through a sale on the computer and its pretty easy. Today I did like 32 sales (they print of statistics at the end of the day) and I sold more than Nathan :D on my first day!

I didn’t realize it before, but The Source is actually a hard-sell environment. We make commision and what we call “Spiffs”. I forget what spiffs stands for but its pretty much free money or incentives for selling items that the company really wants to sell. So warantees and stuff. I made $3.50 in spiffs. Yay. I also made about $4 in commision I think. Pretty low, I know, but good for my very first day! Also a Sunday so pretty dead. I learned that the best thing to make Spiffs on is selling a cellphone. Apprently we get about $25 in spiffs for each sell phone if we sell like 5. Pwnage? Yes!
Yep so that was my day pretty much. Now I’m relaxing by playing ragnarok with Harry :)
