Just say, "I make enough to be comfortable".  \n\nMy grandfather taught me it was rude to inquire about financial status, unless of course you were courting the man, then ask away.

Call reports are a good idea, just as long as you follow up and check on a few.  People are less likely to not tell the truth if they might get caught.  \n\nWhat I would suggest is that you provide a compensation package that is full of incentives.  Most salesmen (in my experience) work just as hard as they think they have to in order to make what they feel they have to make.  Make some of the incentives related to just getting meetings with prospective clients.\n\nAlso, manage the numbers.  If a reps performance doesnt tie in with normal business trends then make a trip with them and go on some calls with them.  Spending $1000 on a trip that will eventually have you terminate an ineffective rep will save you money in the long run.

You may want to contact the manager of your local theater to see if she/he will help. If you talk about how much money you spend there, and how much she would love it, they may go for it. Keep your tone upbeat and positive, word your phrases so they feel compelled to say yes ... (old sales trick).

Here is the thing, how well do you know the person(s) asking the question(s)? Whatever you feel comfortable sharing with others, do that. If a person is imposing themselves, just say that someone contributed it to you and didn't charge you. This way you are tactfully brushing off their nose problems. Congratulations and have a happy and most splendid day. God bless.

The URL, you sent with your question, is rather interesting! About realities on ground, since you are actually present in the company; who else, but you should be the best judge as to your own suitability, in that environment? Additionally, consult your trusted, experienced friends, who are in the know of things.

I am a recruiter for a major jewelry chain and I have attended several of their sales seminars. What is taught within my company is very simple - Basically to sell means to get the person's story and feed it back to them. For example, Bob comes in to your store and you ask him "Who are you spoiling today?" He says, "My wife". Then go on to ask him questions but not to be too inquisitive - use a conversational mode. When he tells you all of the answers you feel you need to aptly suggest an item, go for this "Ok Bob, you told me that your wife loves rubies but hates the color of gold. She has alot of silver and white gold pieces and has been complaining of not having a bracelet to match her ruby necklace. May I suggest this white gold bracelet with rubies?" Then move on to something like this - "To complete the look, we have these lovely white gold and ruby earrings..etc." Obviously, any sale will be much more complicated and detailed than the example I have provided but it can be used as a guidelin. Basically, what you are looking to do is GET THEIR STORY and TELL IT BACK TO THEM. They will tell you exactly what they want, what they don't want, and any possibilties for add-ons.

False!! I have sold everything from insurance to carpet. Like a car salesman once told me there is an butt for every seat. There are two things about selling....One you have to have the right type of personality. Some people just are not sales people they are not outgoing and assertive enought. The second is you have to know your products and know them well. Just make sure you are the right type of person for a sales job...

If you feel he does not think your work is up to his standards, you need to request a private meeting with him and discuss it.  Ask him what areas he feels you need to improve upon.  Do not mention that your colleagues get emails containing praise for a couple of reasons, two important ones being......... it sounds childish and you shouldn't be bringing your relationship into work, even if works there or not it isn't professional.   It is never professional to complain about a job by saying my boyfriend gets accolades but not me.  Or Mr x gets praise but not me.  It sounds like a child saying 'Katy's cake is bigger than mine.  \nAs for as the boyfriend thing.  The fact that you discuss your pay and praise with your boyfriend is one of the reasons most companies don't like couples or relatives working together.   It's normal to discuss work with your boyfriend and if you didn't work together it would be fine, but since you do, it rubs you the wrong way.

Why don't you just say "I'm the first-level customer service person-i'll try to help you".  We are very used to being directed to customer service departments for things.  What percentage of the time can you actually solve their problem?  I might not want to tell everyone my  business.  If it is a financial problem, i might not want to tell you.  Most salespeople have limited authority and customer service has more authority to take action to solve my problem.

If it crosses the line of being compensated, or asking for business, it crosses the line of spamming.\n\nIf this is not policed, soon it will become an online Advertizing campaign, instead of a question and answer board.\n\nI do Real Estate and Loans.  I answer questions sometimes in those sections.  But I don't ask for business.  Many times I don't even say it's my profession.  \n\nWe all want to make money in life. But this forum is not the place to ask.  At least not advertently.

It's a perfectly good question. You'd like to know the range. This gives you more bargaining power, but don't be surprised if they answer a question with a question, "What are your salary requirements?" Be prepared. And good luck!

I like to be left alone until I have a question.  I don't trust salespeople's opinions about products, they are there to make money.  I like to take my time and do things without any pressure.

THIS IS EITHER A LOUSY WAY TO PROMOTE YOUR COMPANY OR A EQUALLY BAD WAY TO ASK A QUESTION.\n     ARE YOU ASKING WHERE YOU CAN FIND THINGS TO BLING YOUR DESK AT WORK? OR WHERE TO FIND GIFTS TO SUCK UP TO THE BOSS? NOBODY RESPECTS A KISS ASS BROWN NOSE SO I HOPE YOU ARE NOT TRYING TO HARD TO GIVE MANAGMENT A GIFT THAT WILL REMAIN ON HIS/HER DESK AS A CONSTANT REMINDER OF YOU THAT COULD BACKFIRE BIGTIME GO SIT IN THE BATHROOM TIRED AND DIRTY TRYING TO HIDE TILL FIVE THIRTY

Companies have a salary range for each job, and it is unlikely they hired you at the top.\n\nDo not be afraid to ask for more money, but do it professionally, and don't go on and on about it. Never whine about needing more money. Also ask when you would be considered for a merit increase. \n\n"I love the opportunity with your organization, and will prove myself an asset. I would appreciate, however, your consideration for an increase of 10% in the base, which will put me where I need to be". If you ask for 10%, you may get 5%.\n\nIf they say they can't , and you want the job, accept with enthusiastiasm and say you will prove yourself worth more.\n\nDo not know your sex, but men frequently are hired at higher salaries because they are less afraid to negotiate. Women often take the first offer. This proves the point: ask for more money.

The customers that I work with tend to like it more if I know something about their "style". If you have a good idea on what someone needs or is interested in, go with it. Although some of the biggest mistakes can come from that(and I have seen this happen) i.e. being to pushy or aggressive, not giving the client or customer the ability to tell you what they want(you could be wrong), not giving enough informative info on the sale. Things like that do hurt. Also my biggest problem is undesirable attitudes. You can almost always tell if you are going to go through with a transaction by the way you are treated, I NEVER make transactions with "bad att's", if you can't show respect--no deal!

If your selling record is good be honest and tell the company you have no nutrional traing that you are willing to learn.,after all you can find all that information via web. I know how to answer these questions because I was once a job devloper and helped others obtain gainful employment.\nSo hope it works well for you \nKelly

The customer is not right when they are rude and abusive. But I agree with Genie previous answer. Listen to who signs your paycheck.
