Advice on Sales!!

Rhaorth....I don't have any of those items. I haven't decided yet, whether to pursue the freebie crowd. I think I would rather spend my energy on other things.....particularly working the group. I think that most of my items will be purchased by people who are doing other things, rather then running around to freebie shops....and I really don't want to promote a freebie center in the store. I would rather just give things away to the people I know will shop and spend money.

Hmmmmm like 45 or 50 sales (with my latest freebie) so far from those "people running around freebie stores". I like freebies but i spend a LOT of money on clothes esp in SL. However freebies give me a chance to try out your items before buying and if I hve no idea what you stuff is like on an avie this is one way to convince me to buy.

Please realise that the vast majority of those in these freebie groups are NOT newbies. They re older avies with money to spend who like adding freebies to their collections along with the othr items.

I love flying tribe, she does awesome sculpt maps

I just sent out two full-perm unpacker scripts to the group, so if you sometimes don't get group notices, make sure you check past notices for them

Well. I made two sales today, to the same person. And she seemed unhappy that both skyboxes were fully-enclosed and didn't have doors, so I felt obliged to refund her, as I didn't want an unhappy customer.

Down in the dumps now

Amara, I've been looking at this for a few days now:

Actual in-world sculpting! Sounds ideal Yes, it's hellishly expensive, but possibly worth the investment.

awww dont get disheartned, not every one wants doors on their skyboxes at least next time you will be like, oh thats np i can pop some in for you at no cost, and then they will be happy and you will have great customer service record

As far as not having time to say "thank you"....I apply the same in RL marketing. That should be at the top of your list. If you have to leave another activity out....then do. It's always been the single most important profit generating activity. No Question. I'm sure the same applies in SL....since we are bringing the same human feelings in here.

Hello. Since we are visiting and critiquing fellow residents stores...perhaps some of you wouldn't mind stopping in to GLOWBOX DESIGNS, and giving some advice? I would be deeply grateful.

See- this is what we need here-
I downloaded rokuro ages ago but my lack of success with sculpty paint put me off from even trying it.

$4500 L's isn't bad if it produces something worthwhile- I may give it a shot - thanks muchly

Inserting RL story here that is applicable to the above:

One of the first "career jobs" for which I applied after college was outside sales for a major Fortune 500 company. I tend to be the type that researches things out the ying yang when I get into it, so I was reading books on interviewing tips. One said to send a handwritten thank you note (this was prior to the age of personal computers...you know, when dinosaurs roamed the earth ) to each person that interviewed one

I did this (and for this job, it went through a series of many interviews over many days, each one going higher and higher up the chain of command).

I got the job.

First day on the job, my new manager called me into his office and one of the things he said was this:

"We narrowed the candidates for this job down to two people - you and another woman. You two were equal in so many ways - educational background, previous experience, personality for the job, how you each handled yourselves in the interviews. It would have been a very hard decision EXCEPT - the thing that made you stand out and get the job - the thank you notes."

He went on to say that the Regional Manager called him after the first set they received and the two of them had a discussion on how amazing that was as in all their years of hiring employees, this had never happened. (It may be more common now with the ease of email communication, but at that time, receiving a handwritten thank you just blew these professional men away!)

It was a HUGE plus for this job as again, it was for an outside sales position and the managers' reasoning was that I would be excellent at customer follow-up.

I'm glad I learned that early in my career. I continued to do that and any job for which I was granted an interview, I was always offered.

I think Skell became the unofficial secretary.

/me finds up his notebook and looks for a knee to sit on while he takes notes...

(Actually, I need to update the merchants page. More info needs to go on there, people added etc.)

couldn't do a modification to them? so she would have the doors she wanted?
