Hi: I’m Ray. I recently heard a recorded lecture by the late Terrence McKenna speaking about a completely different subject ( Novelty Theory ) and he mentioned pheromones as an aside comment , I found the comment so interesting I had to look into this more and I found this web site. As a salesman I have always been interested in discovering ways to better communicate with clients and I think this might be it. I have been a salesman all my adult life and sometimes I just “stink” at it ( when I have to sell on a commission basis ). Hey maybe I’m throwing off the wrong pheromones under pressure and I really don’t smell successful, confident or trustworthy. Do “good” pheromones cover up “bad” naturally occurring pheromones ? If I want people to buy what I am selling what product should I be looking at ? The way I look at it , and I have used NLP techniques as well, If I cannot communicate; that is the client is distracted by the wrong emotion or feeling on his part , then the sales process is derailed and does not serve either of us. Comments anyone ?

Hey, welcome to the forum. You’re at the right place for the best pheromones around.
Since you’re a salesman I would imagine the social pheromones to be of a great value to you. Products like IS, IO, and IH. IS to make you seem vibrant, confident, and also to add a sparkle to your selling techniques. And IO to make you approachable and also to serve as a social ice breaker, with IH making you trustworthy and making people comfortable around you like they’ve known you for awhile.
Greetings Ray.

Hi jamesbonded;
You asked me about my personality. Well MY perception of my personality is different depending upon if it is my work personality or my home personality. At work I am considered the nicest salesperson and generally the most respected. I usually have the highest sales volume. I know a lot about the product I sell and I seem to be able to read people very well. It has been noted by others that I seem to be able to perceive peoples emotions and thoughts ( not psychic but intuitive ) long before any of the other salespeople and this lets me adjust my presentation or sales dialogue “on the fly”. ( So maybe I READ pheromones well ) BUT I don’t seem to be able to read everybody , I don’t seem to get the chance. I come off as confident to my co-workers but have a feeling of inadequacy always nagging. I worked in commission sales “Real Estate” in the 80’s and “Advertising” in the 90’s and really stunk at it. When I am in an industry that could really make me some money I do not do well. I currently am in the home improvement sector of the Construction Industry and am doing well but it is a salaried job and I can barely make ends meet. At home, I am happily married with two daughters. I am not interested in the pheronomes from a “sexual” point of view ( except with my wife ). In personal relationships I am laking. We don’t have a lot of friends. My wife is very shy. Both our daughters are adopted. My older daughter, we adopted at age 2-1/2 has had been diagnosed and treated for bi-polar and autism, she is 20 now and going to community college. I tended to , while my daughters were young, to see less of friends as people were afraid of my older daughter in that they did not know how to relate to her so friends became less and less. It became impossible to get babysitters and our social life crumbled. My younger 16 year old daughter is agoraphobic and has few friends. My wife can’t work anymore, she just had a stroke at age 47 !. Wow !
If you asked me what my fear was I would say it was "waiting for the other shoe to drop " That is to say when I go into a situation where I do not have a good read on the matter , whether at work or at home , I get nervous as to what the answer might be and that seems to ooze out of my pores.
So what am I looking for ? The “scientist” in me certainly hopes that we all just smell bad. In one of Terence McKenna’s lectures he mentioned that some people had bad pheromones and that after repeated weird reactions from people the people with bad pheromones became weird. ( He actually used more scientific terms ) Is it a " chicken or the egg" proposition. Do weird people have weird pheromones or do people with bad pheromones BECOME weird and unlikable ?
I would like to see if pheromones can help me be a better salesperson and put me in a position where people just can’t wait to hand me their money.
I know that money won’t solve my problems but more money will get me better options to choose from.
I would like to see my relationship with my wife improved so she continues to see me as a confidant man as I get older.
It would be interesting to see if I smelled more confident whether my family life would be better and my wife and daughters would enjoy life more.
Hopefully waiting.

Hi andrew88777;
Thanks for the reply. The interesting thing that I note on my sales career is that when I am selling in a relaxed situation ( one in which I get a paycheck guaranteed every two weeks ) I do really well , but it does not pay well. I took no risk and it is the boss that gets the money. When I do take the risk and use what everybody agrees were good techniques I seem to get stares and uncomfortable looks from prospective clients. One of the things that you may find interesting is that in a few situations between 1996 and 2001 I was actually kept on and given a “draw” , minimal as it was, because the owner of the business wanted me to teach the sales techniques to other newer and older salespeople that were “taking off” with strategies that I taught them. So I KNOW that I KNOW my stuff so it has to be SOMETHING else.

Hey there Ray and welcome to PheromoneTalk forum. I’m happy you listened to that speech and found us. He is a pretty cool guy and has a lot of value.
I have to agree with andrew8777 as he has offered really class valuable advice. I would definetely go with the A314, supposed to be back in stock mid-week, and add in some IShine, IH and just a tad of IO. This way you are the ALPHA trust-worthy guy who makes your customer smile. Surely a winning mix that can increase your commissions.
Here’s one that you don’t even have to work for: I am sending you a $25 GC to your email. Welcome
Steve:
Thanks for the response AND thanks for the GC !
