"First sale today!"

I actually managed to sell a gym membership! Well, three actually.

Gone are the days that I show 16-year-old chavs round on their free day passes...no, seriously, those days are gone; that's what I did yesterday. Now I actually sell stuff!

Got about 40 quid for an hours work with commission and stuff.

Still feels mildly embarrassing handing out free crisps to promote the place.

1 hour.

The rest of the day he was dossing.

£40 is not bad for a couple hours work.

Not quite...

Like offering sexual pleasures to lure the people in?

It's like us saying have a free day. It's a ploy to get them down to the gym so we can confuse them with peppyness.

Despite getting extra money for selling stuff, I still don't like to rip people off. There are some things done in the club that I don't agree with and therefore don't do.

Yeah cos sales men are hard to get ride of. You can't just put the phone down like some people do.

Anyhoo, some women don't like to talk about cancer to a stranger.

That sounds alright

I have to get someone to let me send someone round their house to do a 'totally free, no obligation quote' on home improvement things like windows/doors/roof cleaning etc

Its annoying that its totally free and still so many people say no

Heh.

Well with this policy, you get all your money back after 15 years. PLus we give them 30 of the policy free so that they can get a welcome pack but then change their minds before they start paying.

I think Cancer Insurance would be easier to sell than 'Home Improvements' mainly because of the fear factor...thats why i sometimes try and scare the people i ring 'excuse me sir, are you award that if you do not get your facias, soffets and guttering looked at it could lead to infestation and rotting which could be a small problem at the moment, but could lead to lots of disruption and cost for you at a later date'

Me 2. Tho for American Life, selling womens cancer insurance. I get £6.25 an hour and the commission is worked sales per hour. If I work 9 hours and get 6 sales, which is 2 a night, what i've been getting, then it's a 0.6 and i get £49 . If I get 7 sales in 14 hours thats £42. If i get 8 sales in 9 hours, i get £56

It's all good.
