Hey guys just a quick update of where I'm at!
I am now promoting Mops, yes Mops, this week in a Sam's Club (smaller Costco). Last week I sold $1000 worth of Mops in 4 hours which set a close record for the marketing firm.
It may seem silly, and as a matter fact it kind of is, but it is one of the toughest things I have had to do. We set up a large booth in the Sam's Club. We then walk around the store handing out tickets telling people to come by our booth to receive a free gift. We then do a 10 minute show pitch that is very exact, precise, complicated and demanding. We not only demo how it works but go through a specific order of explaining, comparing, showing, and "hyping" up this EZ Mop. This is all with a microphone on in front of 2-14 people (depending on how many show up). We do give a free gift away, as we promised, but that is just a way to bring people to our booth and watch our show. As I said earlier, we have morning meetings which we go over marketing techniques, closing/sale strategies, and discuss goals. I am close to being promoted to a leader/management position as an intern. I will do the mops this week and most likely be given opportunity to travel, learn a new campaign, develop a team and set up interviews.
I am looking at what I'm doing in a positive light. I'm not selling, currently, something I enjoy however I realized that besides learning promotional strategies, sales, public speaking, coming out of my comfort zone, showing my personality to get a sale, and understanding that if I do something like sell $1000 mops in 4 hours, I make 20% of that! Sales can be tough but I am looking at this cup half full and am going to set more goals as there is less than one month left!
Here is a link I use to memorize what is needed to be done (EXACTLY) when I am in the store by myself. Gives you a quick sneak peak into how the show is done.

That's all for now!
