Sales

[Homicidalheathen]

Some sales jobs are like selling a part of your soul to the devil. To have a boss down your neck every second to sell, sell, sell...things people may not need at a price they can't afford...pitting each of you against each other like pits in fight ring, selling things to poor families without money and 3+ kids....

Oh and on top of that your suppose to be HAPPY!!! About it.

You can't afford to be shy...

Or cry or get depressed when times are slow.

It helps to sell something you believe in, something everyone needs that sells itself...MOST products ARE NOT THAT EASY.

And, I have to eat too.

K just went back into doing the audits instead of selling them at my urging. He was getting WAAAY to depressed. I warned him about this...,most good sales people start slow and build...even though he is well known and liked in the area...people wanted him for HIS skills, not someone else'.

His employer’s price is just not competitive enough as most of their top people don't have K's skills and I am not just bragging.

Most of my sales background has SUCKED ASS. The worst thing I have to do now is wander malls trying to sell to people with a company backpack on full of hair products...its net because everyone is afraid of hidden bombs these days (bet you didn't know that).

Allot of places won't let you walk around with a backpack hell cops pull over people with them on these days just to see what you’re packing...but anyway...

So he is off work as in like a month not paid vacation....and my ankles and knees are suffering while I try to find something sit down. I may go back into telemarketing...my feet can't handle much else. Yup, sometimes I am one of those annoying people because some businesses because of laws and rules and regulations are not allowed to find customers in some ways....long story...and have to use them.

At least that’s what someone told me, she could have been laying, as she was a sales manager...they have a tendency to do that.

Things are tight around here...and I am trying to help my kids find better work, one down...one to go...

I told them; don't do sales if you can help it. I have gotten quite depressed thinking about the membership I talked a family into that I knew would hurt them financially...but If I had not done it I would have been fired.

It’s like; society has become this HUGE BIG UGLY horrible thing....that feeds on itself like a cancer...polluting all and everyone/thing...in one way or another.

I actually wrote a song about it awhile back....

And then there are the true Shamans....fortune tellers and whatnot...who have to eat too...but have to find work full time and don't have time then to develop a god given gift....not to say no one is above a few mundane physical tasks...I do believe everyone has to pitch in a bit there....but 10 hours a day 6 days a week just to survive???

And if you charge cash it seems to taint the working...truly believe that as it’s a gift it should be given and if you feel drawn to give something for it then do...but don't charge.

I think if we lived in small tribes and in harmony with nature things would be ok. But we all want our OWN kids and then they have to have the party like all the other kids...toys...plastic, convenience...ect...ect...and there you go.

And I am guilty cause I did it to.

I had kids....wanted to adopt but they said, I WAS SINGLE AND DIDN'T MAKE ENOUGH MONEY.

Yah, that makes a lot of sense.

~sigh~ I am going to the drumming to try to forget I am not naked in the jungle eating organic fruit and fucking all night. As I smell of car exhaust from sitting in traffic. Just not natural. And with that I will say....I NEED A CAMPING TRIP!

So want to get back to nature and live in harmony with the world and its animals.

Things just seem so off, unbalanced and all I wonder if the END isn't near...

At least the end as we know it. But then again I have been going to Pagans on Politics meetings so...its affecting my judgement.
