 Sales, there was a time when I really wanted to follow this model. Be that sales person with briefcase, suit attire, robotic yet successful. Not anymore, not unless promoting or selling own product I invented or own business. I was just scanning sales positions on C/L's and none of them excited me. Not only that just not enough money involved in 9-5 common item sales items. The sales where you become a millionaire aren't advertised on C/L. Like security sales, bonds, future holdings, stock type stuff, or airplane sales, exotic car sales, yacht sales, big time items where you're commission is at least $10-$40,000 dollars or more. Not trying to bust but and get rejected for $3-400 a week in commissions. Just not there anymore. Not only that but don't want a sales job where I have to change appearance. I'm best, most confident, when I'm natural, when I look how I want to look. Not trying to take on any companies image, life's to short for that and the only image I want to promote while alive is my own. But wasn't always like that. Is one reason why I could never work for UPS...could never drown out my own image, which I've worked years to attain, and replace it with generic UPS image. You may not believe this but I'd rather be homeless than work for company that forced me to change my appearance just for a job. The window for me wanting to comply, wanting to impress others at corporation is gone, close, at least for now. And that's kind of what life's about is meeting a opportunity while you're still receptive to it. Your mood and style have to be aligned with the opportunity before you or it just isn't a good fit. There are many things I've tried, in terms of employment, long after I lost the passion for it and it just didn't work. But when I did have the passion for it, wasn't able to do it. Like romance, someone you could have dated 8 years ago may not be your cup of tea today. Looking and dressing like a geek is not going to make me a better salesperson, I have celebrity looks, and that's what people respond to, that and my personality, the two go hand and hand. Not trying to look like a geek, cut hair and all, just to sell wackin hut muffins or whatever. I need to be me, in order for my best to come out, and that applies to everyone. But most need or have convinced themselves they need a check more than I do so succumb to whatever demands company asks of them. Me, at least at this phase of life, I don't. The rebellious side of my spirit is just not dead yet. |

You know folks, some times I think you can sell more, like at a flea market, selling your product in front of real live people, than bothering with all this online sales stuff, this website, that website, this template, that template, then in the end, get hardly any views.
Where as if at a flea market, hundreds of people walk buy, see your stuff, products, shoes, ect, and buy.
Some times I just think these online store templates that Go daddy and Word press and ect, always trying to sell, sure they look good, fun to look at, but how many people actually buy from them if just an ordinary online shop owner?
I think, unless already famous or internet savvy, that sometimes just old fashion flea market selling will yield best results.

I'm really to honest to do sales, here's why
I'm really to honest to do sales, here's why, cause in my heart of hearts, as a honest person, I realize people don't need 95% of what is sold or pitched to them, maybe higher than that.
We need food...can get at grocery store
We need clothing, can buy at Walmart
We need housing, get a job, rent or buy a home.
We need transportation, get a job, buy a car or bicycle and or take the bus.
Outside of that, everything else that is sold is luxury.
And even with above, all I'd be doing as a salesperson is getting commission off of what person could buy for themselves without me.
Again, I'm just to honest to be an effective sales person.
But sadly, that's where the truly big money is at, is in sales, where you get large commissions...

Well hell, if that's the case than I may try this Avon, Mary Kay stuff, and see what happens. I could like have dates every night in the homes of single women or bored rich house wives. |

I can't speak for others, but with me, when it comes to sales, the best I ever do is like at a flea market setting, where I'm 'live' and in person and interacting with people as they walk by.
All that online stuff, at least with me, I've failed at, for seems very few trust 'off sites' and instead like to shop on Amazon/Walmart/Target/Best Buy and ect.
Not only that, but if selling stuff online, that means you have to 'ship' the stuff, so if get 20 sales, that means you yourself have to go to Post office or UPS or Fedex and waste a lot of time shipping these items...maybe a whole day.
So if like have regular job, that means you'd have to dedicate your off day to doing nothing but boxing and shipping, what a hassle, where as when just sell stuff at like the flea market, no shipping required, just cash.
Flea markets are wonderful in warm weather climate areas, luckly I live in a warm State, tropical like weather, so can pretty much do the flea market year round if so choose.
I'd really love to open up a old fashion brick and mortor shoe store, but wow, the inventory required, the 'building lease' and more...unless got a bank loan, doubt that would work, would be better off ordering stuff 'whole sale' then creating flyers and handing out to people in person, leaving on doors, and or setting up 'booths' and selling that way.
Either way, I need extra income or for the rest of my life nothing really fun will happen.

Yes, example say if you live in an apartment complex, it's best to buy 'items' whole sale, then create flyers, leave in 'public area' or make copies and leave at peoples doors, then sell items that way, no shipping costs involved, and now days people like instant delivery. In my opinion until have enough capitol to buy brick and mortar business or sell online, old fashion person to person selling is the best way, like Avon or 'Mary Kay' type stuff. And even that gives me an idea...hmm |

Whenever I get wrong number calls now, I simply send them promos from my business I simply spam the spam now, anything to spread my business or products, oh, what a novel idea. I mean why waste a good wrong number why not collect all the wrong numbers that call your phone and simply spam them right back with your own services and products.

Speaking of sales, I'm about to go to the local flea market and see about opening up a perminent booth, where it's mine all month, and I think I can leave stuff there and it'll be safe.
A perminent store front where I can just sell stuff I find for free, and then sell for a profit.
If I could just earn 100 dollars a day on the weekends, 2oo every weekend or so, that covers rent...and would take a lot of pressure off.
And I'd rather work for myself part time than work for another...tired of being someone elses employed stooge.
