hi all. I’ll try to be brief. My question has actually been touched on in many threads that I have read but I don’t think that I have really found any threads that fully suit my circumstances. Anyway thanks for being patient… ^^
The boring stuff - I’m from the United Kingdom, I’m nearly 20 and I’m a white/British male. I’m fiercely intelligent, committed/ambitious and a good communicator. Which all has its rewards and also problems. You see I just landed a new job, the job sounds amazing I’ll be earning $19.68 per hour (did the GBP USD maths for ya) and it comes with massive perks as well. I couldn’t be any more chuffed with the job, its 100x any I’ve been offered before and my mates are insanely jealous. BUT…
I’m also incredibly nervous, I got the job based on the fact that I can sell myself effectively at interview level, in reality I’m not qualified for the job at all in terms of experience or qualification. I didn’t lie on my application or anything I just got on with the interviewer and they felt I was ideal for the job. I really want to succeed at this job and progress because the wages will shoot up and the perks significantly increase the salary already.
The JOB - It’s really two types of work - demonstrating and mystery shopper work. (lots and lots of free clothes, meals and gadgets! ^^) It’s going to be incredibly sales focused and I’ll need to be able to draw passers by to listen to me and hold on my every word.
I’m pretty sure Alpha A314 or Instant Gentleman would help with status. I’m basically looking for some advise from anyone experienced in sales / phero’s to suggest what types of phero ‘‘suits’’ they would equip. Would it be better to play for status and have authority like A314 / Insta-Gent would provide or going for the buddy-buddy approach? I’m guessing that it would boil down to soft-sell vrs hard-sell style as well.
Anyway to cut a longstory short… Anyone who has a sales and phero background, what would you suggest to be able to land a few extra sales?
YES! You’ll want both long term. If you can’t afford to get both AND some IH, IO, and Ishine, then get the A314 first along with IH and Ishine. The reason I say this is because you got the job on the strength of your interview. You are obviously somebody who can carry the A314 vibe.
Start slow, test the IH by itself for a few days to a week. It will give you a connective trustworthy feel. Normally I would advise testing each thing by itself and I think after you get a feel for the A314 you should use it alone. In this case, because your are on the salesfloor, I’m gonna say by the second week you should have found your sweet spot for IH (probably 2-4 sprays). Use a consistent dose of IH and add A314, 1 drop to start up to 4 drops, and play around with it. Third week try your sweet spot with A314 and instead of wearing IH try to figure out the Ishine. Then finally start testing A314 by itself. Be sure to take a couple of days off from pheromone use each week…you don’t want a ghost effect from buildup when you are just starting you career!
The reason I want you to try it this way is because A314 rocks on the sales foor but it can be a little disconcerting by itself to start. Later on you may want to add IG or even alternate IG and A314. Best to you!
I use A314 when I go for business sales presentation to get contract signed. I use it alone most of the time because my meetings are supposed to be serious.
When doing the work after contract awarded, I use A314 with TAA to get respect and lighter environment.
Thanks for advice some good stuff already Gave reps, was especially useful to hear the recommendation about the ‘ghost effect’ it was something I’d come across a few times before on the forums but hadn’t had a chance to look into much until now. Great advice on that one.
I like the suggestions you guys gave, especially about using instance honesty, I had been contemplating this over InstantOpenness already and this has helped concrete that idea in my head.
Having done quite a lot of research now I think I’m going to open with Instant Shine and test that for a little bit until I feel comfortable with Phero’s, mostly because I think starting an unfamiliar role having that extra self-effect will be more valuable than impacting onto others with products.
Anyway I think working in a very customer-orientated sales environment will be a fantastic opportunity to test out lots of mixes and get some concrete feedback on hits, so once they pay me some damned money and I stick my first order in (Pretty much all to-gos and a few standard products) I’ll be commencing a blog or journal. It should be quite enjoyable
