For those of you in a mall

Do you guys 'stop' people who are walking past your kiosk and try to sell them? My boss has 'expressed' to me that I need to do this... but I feel soooo stupid and it NEVER works. So.
Do you guys do this? If so, what do you SAY???

There's rules in my mall. The only thing i can say to people that pass is "hello". If they stop and talk then i can proceed to sell. But i can't try and sell as they walk by. So i can't say "hey would you like a cell phone" or anything to that effect.

I just enjoy people watching. We get a lot of old timers in this mall who stop just to chat. I think that is usually the best part of my day. One time this old man was listening to me tell a story of how I went cliff jumping and he told me the story of taking his wife on a motorcycle jump...anyways by the end of our conversation he reminded me of something really good.

He said, "Don't be afraid to keep taking those big jumps...even in life jumping forward can lead to the best memories and so much happiness. My wife and I have always been crazy but at least we know we enjoyed every second we had. You don't remember days you remember moments."

And by 'do the cute guys', he means 'drag them into the kiosk and monkey-stomp them'.

How humiliating. I'm glad I don't have to do that. Now I just have to kiss corporation-butt to get them to buy our phones. ☚ī¸

"she" meant say hi and flirt with the cute guyz, and do a nice little Marilyn Monroe dip when you show them the phones so that the big head stops working and they buy phones and accessories for many years to come

1 HOUR 15 MIN TO GO!!!

Then I get to go home and drink my Red Stripe.

"It's beer! Hooray beer!"

I must admit though that is has been kinda busy. Both me and my boss did quite well commission wise today! Loads of accessories. I love selling accessories. They tend not to come back and they make GREAT stocking stuffers.

Dunno Ali.

For ONCE in my entire wireless career.. I have NOT been asked one single stupid customer question.

Even the top 10 all time asked stupid questions haven't come up.

I haven't had a single customer come in OR call about billing issues.

I haven't had a single customer come in OR whine about how "I'm a loyal customer blah blah".

They have all been cool with good plans, good phones AND buying accessories without the usual "Can I get a discount" or "C'mon throw in the accessory for free" lines.

Today... Is a good day. 😁
