How Randy Breaks MENS SUIT Sales Record in 60 Days
Thanks Gordon,
My friend Randy took psychology in College and it shows. After 2 Tours in Iraq Randy needed a Job. He walked into Saks and told the Personnel Director he had "Experience" in Selling mens Suits - in Europe. And Explained he needed a job after Serving in Iraq. She said, "Ok, We'll give you a try out." CHALLENGE #1 - The Long Time Suit Salesman had His Face and Awards for Most Suit Sales in a Month - on the wall. And put Randy in Charge of The Big & Tall Dept - way way in the back - away all the customers And Far from the Entrance Door to the Store. CHALLENGE #2 - Randy had spent an afternoon helping a buddy in his Fathers Haberdashery - Suit Shop in Paris. So he really didn't have a Clue what to do. (But he knew people & Sales.) CHALLENGE #3 - Randy didn't have any Munny. HE had to sell suits to eat. And do it fast. So he Used BARTER. Randy hunted around the store. Talking to long time employees and managers and Found the BluePrints for the entire store. Which included a little Map - you could fit on a 8 by 10 page. Randy walked thru the Entire SAKS store. Figuring out where each Dept is. And what they sell. Then Entered the info on the back of his map. And made 100 Copies! (Give away a Map - and sell a Suit.) Randy told me, "While my ENEMY was helping other patrons, I waited by the Entrance Store door." "When people came thru the door I said, "Hello, I am Your Saks Store TOUR GUIDE! What are you looking for? I've got a Store Map here. And I've memorized the entire store. I can help." "WHILE We Were Talking. "AFTER I Gave Them a Saks Store Map. "While We Were Laughing together. "I mentioned that I ALSO Sold Mens Suits. And Asked Women if anyone in their family needed a FRIEND to help them Find Some New Suits." Randy said, "It was as IF The FLOOD Gates Opened. I discovered The Women, The Wife did all the clothes Shopping. Were DESPERATE to get their Husbands and Boyfriends who HATE SHOPPING - to up-grade their wardrobe. These LADIES WHO GOT a Store Map (And Randy's Card.) came back with 1, 2, 3 or more MEN - and they ALL got suits from Randy. Randy passed His ENEMY in Suit Sales. Got HIS Face on The Placque on the wall. FUNNY END to the Story. Randy's ENEMY and BOSS in the suit Dept - Saw he was Hanging out at the front door. TOOK Over that door position. But He Got in Their Face & Made Everybody MAD - And Randy - Going with PLAN B - By the Escalator - was able to Say, "I'm Not Like THAT GUY. I'm Here to HELP. Here's a STORE Map. Whatcha Looking for?" Result? Randy sold even more suits than BEFORE when he hung out at the front door! Thanks, Glenn P.S. - 49 More FUNNY Stories Like this one - at www.BannedBarter.com |
