Shop Talk

Those lotion slingers are very scary.
One of them actually darn near chased me down the hall trying to have my hands.

Most malls have very specific guidelines how far a salesperson can travel from their booth and still try to sell to customers. If they are really bad at it, tyou can lodge a complaint. Most malls take it very seriously.

our lotion guy got yelled at for an hour on friday. he was kissing girls hands and then not letting them go and stuff.

they have had multiple sexual harassment complaints filed against them. one day the one guy got 4 by himself.

holy crap...seriously... thats funny... but not surprizing.. i can't believe how ... aggrivating they can be, and all pushy about giving them ur hands..

but that guys need to have something done, i woulnd't want ppl takin my hand and kissin it, or not wanting to give it back...

lol.. he'd been knocked out on the ground pullin my hand and kissin it

Your a violent person aren't you?

actually no.. i am the calmest' person i know..lol... but really, i am , things dont tend to bother me, and i never get in fights or anything.. ****, i'm in a 2yr long relationship, and still havent' gotten into a fight with him...
hummmmm... maybe thats the problem

reminds me of SNL, LOL

And HE still works there???

😳 😳

yes somehow. we have 3 stands run by isralis here. 2, yes 2, lotion stands and a body jewelry stand. they are all brothers (i think) and always get yelled at.

thats craziness..


we have 3 freakin lotion bitches stands. 😲

they use to try to get me with the vacations and the lotion bull. everyday on my way to the food court they would try to stop me, then on my way back. so one day i stopped.....

me: "how often do you see me here?"
annoying vacation lady: "like everyday.."
me: "yea, ya know why? cuz i work here. see the name tag? im not buying anything today or ever. so dont waste your breath on me anymore, k."
avl: 😳 🤭

lmao.. classic..

i can't stand them.. i mean, i have on the shirts, they see me in everyday.. their lil' cart is NEXT TO ME.. everyday.. its still me.. and i am still not going to buy anything!!!

ppl in malls suck!
and you wonder why we get pissed when you're "just looking"

go just look online! 👿

Dude 90% of the people that go to the mall go to "just look". Think about it, all those stores in one place? Nobody goes there to shop at everyone with the intention of buying something. And the "I'm just looking" is more of a way to get a chance to look by themselved without getting a bunch of sales pitches for phones that are going to get YOU a bonus and THEM nothing that they want. I'm not trying to take sides... just showing you that your opinion is somewhat biased.

well before you go tellin me how i sell.....

i dont sell phones based on which one will get me more. cuz they all get me the same. so i actually talk to them and find out what phone they need, not want. most ppl just pick a phone based on looks, not functionality. thats why us sales reps are still here. thats why we ask you questions. i dont want to sell you a phone and have you come back 2 weeks later complaining that you dont like it.

u said it...
same here... i COULD sell my Blackberry Bolds, for 300$ all day long if it was a matter of me getting more money... and not caring about what the customer wants...
No matter i see the BB bold or our FREE sony ericcson walkman phone, i get the same commission.. so.. i talk to them , to learn WHAT they want out of a phone...

so still my point..

all i say is HELLO, not "hey u come see what i got" or " come here... i can help..blahblah.."

no i say hello, i can tell if they are looking at the kisok or rushing by, thats how i know to talk more or let them by!

that is when i makle my sales pitch to them!!!
"let me see your hands"
i go "tell you what, buy and activate 3 handsets from me and i will buy some lotion/ bath salt or under eye skin tightner from you...deal?"
the protest i just reply with hey i have to hustle my self also.

all the lotion ho's have sprint... i've tried that already..lol

see i sold att at the mall.

😁

one time i was like, "i know but im jus greeting you!"

lol, i'd love to be able to say some **** back to customers.. but see, i work in restaruant managment for 10yrs. and u are NOT allowed to even question the customers .. so.. i've learned not to talk back.. i hate myself for that. lol

well i only do it to ppl who try to be smart asses about it.........well no not really i kinda do it to everyone lol i only state im simply greeting them

ima hafta try that then, see what happens 🤣

dont worry u wont get smacked or anything, you jus get looks like 😳 then they start talkin to ya

All you have to ask if they say "just looking" is "ok. so what kind of phone do you have?" most of the time they'll tell you, which will start a conversation. if they say "just looking" or something of that variety again, just say "ok, what kind of phone do you have?" if they're going near your kiosk and looking, you have ever right to ask them that until you get an answer. granted, some people just really want to look. others just want to waste your time. but if they want to waste your time, keep asking them till they walk away.

noted...lol, i will do that next time!

I ask them all these questions, to get them to buy or get them to leave.

lmao nice... oooooooooh i so hope someone tries that one with me tonight, before i leave..lmao 🤣 😎

You'll get there. You gotta pay your dues like everyone else in this biz does. don't sweat it though, you can still make some decent money at a kiosk. Just gotta deal with more BS while you're there. Get some more experience and then start looking for better opportunities to open up. That's what I did. 😁

yeah, thats my plan, i have only been in the business for...um...3wks.. sooo i have alot to learn, sometimes customers teach me things.. but i am , like my boss says "the one everyone loves" sooo i use my innocents to get sales..lol...i am tryin to learn more everyday, and i'll give it a few months, see waht happens.. and do my best

That's the way to be. Sucker those customers with your cuteness 😁

problem is the people are better and stuff, but the money in the right kiosk can't be compared.

Lol... When I was running a corporate AT&T store before the first Cingular merger. I would never hire anyone that worked for a dealer, 3rd party. My store was in a mall and we had nothing but trouble with the 2 other AT&T dealers.
I did interview one or two people. Thought they were shady.

i understand that good people do work for dealers. I'm not saying everyone is shady but I had some bad experience.

🤣 🤣 🤣
