The Daily Life of a Salesman
7:00 AM
Wake up. Brush teeth. Eat breakfast made by a corporation with campaings that are aimed at pre-teens but are mostly consumed by stoned college students. Take a shower and get dressed.
10:00 AM
Smile you're goin into work. Smile because you're worth to the company is only measured by how much you make them money. But it's ok, remember you like talking to people because they are nice. Also some girls really dig a guy with a fat commision check. Close every sale. Offer them a cat and a small piece of property in the moon but DO NOT LET THEM WALK. But remember: Smile!
11:00 AM
No way you got you got to help someone telling you how much they hate your company. Also, you cleaned someone else's mess but you are a team player, as you said during your interview. Have you smiled today?
12:00 PM
Breaktime. but you only got 15 minutes so hurry up. And, be careful who you talk to because that last customer was a valued one and you cannot complain about them.
12:15 PM
OK BREAKTIME OVER! SMILE!!
3:00 PM
Your boss says things like "You are closing every sale that comes your way and you are top of store in everything. But, enough about that, let's look at all the details you have wrong and focus on them to the point where you feel self-conscious and actually do worse the next time around." You nod your head and agree because having your own thoughts on how their methods are highly inconvenient is against company policy. Also, you're smile might need work. And the empathy shown towards the 14-year old who's on her fourth broken $700 device did not seem genuine. Where are those crocodile tears you learned to do in drama class?
6:00 PM
"Clock out and go home. We can't afford the over time even though we are multi-billionaires ahhh!!! "
8:00 PM
Eat dinner. Watch some TV. How did life get like this? The gift of gab is nothing to you but knowing how to have conversations. You teach people about your service and they learn and buy it. So you are essentially a teacher. Team respected, infomative, and useful. Right?
