Balls 0 #1 March 29, 2010 It's been a while since I've been on here. I finished school, now I'm in the Marine Corps. Hoping to start jumping again soon. Anyway, I've had a few sales jobs in the past, same with my brother. So we decided to start a blog with some of our funny stories of knocking on doors and such. I'm wondering how well our writing translates to people that a) don't know us; and b)don't know sales very well. We're hoping to use lots of these stories later to publish a book. Have a read, and let me know what you think. http://summersalesstories.blogspot.com/---------------------------------------- ....so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

NovaTTT 2 #2 March 29, 2010 Sorry, man, but it's boring. The first story is about a woman in a towel who's waiting for you and eager for you to come in . . . and all you do is eat ice cream and try to sell her an alarm? Where's the T&A? Where's the 3-way with the landlord/boyfriend? There's pot in the story - but it sits undisturbed in the background. Why mention it? Ever hear of Chekov's gun? Fuck the girl, smoke the pot, rob the boyfriend AND get the sale. That would be impressive.

Balls 0 #3 March 29, 2010 That was one of my brothers. Some are funnier than others, and any input is good input. I think some of the first ones we posted are the funniest.---------------------------------------- ....so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

scotty2haughty 0 #6 March 29, 2010 Thanks for the input--I'm the brother with the "boring" story, and while I realize some internet users may be expecting a lead-up to something a little more amazing I tried to keep it based on a true story. Thanks for the input though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #7 March 30, 2010 Not really a sales story, but one time I was delivering a steak dinner for Steak-Out to a house on the outskirts of town. I knocked on the door, there was no answer, but the light was on in the window on the right. I noticed some movement. Curiously, I moved closer to see what was going on through the blinds. Some guy was banging his girl on the bed porn style. I didn't have the heart to interrupt them so I waited until they were finished before I knocked again, harder. Sure enough, the guy came around with nothing but shorts on and drenched in sweat. I really wished the girl had come to the door. 17 years later I still remember that day like yesterday.
