I didn't know they had a service!

Go sell mattresses if you want to get rich. Do they have a sleepies down there? Mattress firm?

There is a matress firm down at the mall about 10 mles from here.

Lowes has sales specialists for each department. They are 'experts' in their department and help you make an informed purchase. Supposidly this is more for the tool aspect of lawn and garden, as opposed to the mulch and spil aspect of it.

I am the type of person who sells you what meets your needs, not what meets my sales quota. This may hurt me.

Go sell mattresses. It is a stable industry and in Fla it's a cake walk.

If you are ok with sales that is. It's like pulling teeth in some parts ..:coughMNcough:

I know mattress firm rewards you for not beating someone up to buy and making them happy from the start.

Really mattresses, furniture and to a different degrees cars are the pinnacle of retail.

Sales is tough though. I did do some math though and even on my first month, without any sales in the hopper from a prior monthand I had a whole week off and missed 2 days because of emergency, I made pretty good $$$. Enough to live on.

Work in sales for a while, that will change. 

 

Sean probably has some sage advice like the best sale for company is always the one that meets the customer's needs first.  But downward pressure to hit your numbers (if it's really a "sales" job) takes it's toll, and your ideals go out the window pretty damn quickly. 

 

I'm a non-salesman stuck in a sales job.  I had always envisioned myself behaving the way you describe....here I am 7 years later behaving exactly the opposite.

When push comes to shove you gotta do what you gotta do.

I may go see them anyways just for shits and giggles. I can usually succeed in getting people to a happy medium for what they need versus what they want.

I just know unless push comes to shove I refuse to go work in a kitchen unless I own the bitch, or at fast food in any capacity.

And push has yet to arrive, much less shove.

15 years in sales and still feel work with the fact that my customers needs and mine are the same.

I'm lucky, the industries I have worked in have all been in bettering people's life. I am also fairly certain that I do my job better and with less problems than almost every other person out there.... So it feels andis honest for me.

maybe I am just a sales person.

a few reasons.. after she came back the first time she took him... and she tried it... well shes not the best mother she had him very young and shes very wild...  then something about either they were going to be moving her or re deploying her.. so she sent him to live with his grand parents..  she she went back to war.. and when she came back this last time she married her Sargent and they got him back for good.  but between her leaving him for basic then first tour then second tour and everything between it scared him...  not to mention he has issues from birth....

  the army gave him a reactive attachment disorder
