How do I sell myself to a girl?
Sell yourself? or Market yourself?Come on it sounds as if you are tired of being single and you want some girl to give you attention. Having a decent conversation is good. Being friendzoned is no curse. I doubt your intelligence a bit. Maybe it is because you have had a single life for longer than expected. But trust me the more you make efforts to win over a girl, the more she'll go away. You can always find a girl who has the same interest.Talk about food, easiest to get responses. Music or movies, politics, anything but flattery. Maybe you focus too much on not being friendzoned and act otherwise. Know your worth. Make friends. They stick longer.
How much can I sell good condition miss me jeans for at Plato's closet?
It depends. I have seen them for sale for $40-60. So less than that
Does Best Buy sell refurbished goods as new?
No, I think the closest you get to buying a 'refurbished' item is one that's marked as 'Open Box', which just means it was returned to the store within the 15 day return period. It is tested to full functionality to make sure nothing is wrong with it, and if any item is missing it is labeled on the tag to notify you. The price will also be marked down as a result. Items that are non functional or damaged are sent back to the brand manufacturer.If you were sold a refurbished / open item at New Price then be aware that this is not their policy and you should contact management to have this fixed immediately. I used to work for Best Buy and though I am no longer an employee, my current job has me in close relations with the store and their processes.
Good head shops in NYC that will sell to me?
I'm 16 and I'm taking a trip to New York City tomorrow. My mom collects all types of colored glass, so as a gag gift I thought it would be nice to get her a small spoon pipe or tobacco bowl from a head shop. I don't have anyone who is 18 years or older to buy it for me, so has anyone bought something from a head shop who was under 18 at the time? or are there any head shops that wouldn't ID me? China town would be out of the way for me, and NY Gifts on 6th avenue/avenue of the americas was mentioned to me as a great head shop..but I don't know if they would ID me. Please help!!
"Sell me this pen" : Job Interview?
I have been interviewing for various positions this month. I've had this question (situation) presented to me three times already. Can anybody give me some good examples of how to answer/ respond to this on an interview?
Why am I unable to sell myself?
Do you like yourself?Do you know that you’re awesome?Do you know what you like about yourself and why you are awesome?Do you find yourself to be interesting?Do you have a clear sense of what makes you interesting, what your skills and valuable experiences are, and what makes you unique?Here’s the most important question of all:Are you afraid of being authentic?The above questions tie into what I’d see as potential self-salesmanship inadequacies.But also. Do you practice for interviews? Do you research inane interview questions online, and look for ideas as to possible answers you may not have thought of? Have you ever just let yourself build a mediocre dating profile, and come back to it and refine it over time, or even ask your friends for feedback?I relate to having difficulty selling myself. Sometimes I just don’t feel up to the task. However, I’ve come to find that the more practice I get with self-expression, the more naturally it comes. So I just let myself go wild, every opportunity I get, even if I’m having an off day or week or month or year, or life.Hope this helps.By the way, if you want someone to do your resume for you, resumes are one of my strong points. :)
Is the "sell me this pen" question still relevant?
Ah, that’s a classic question!It is still relevant and you might get one when applying for a sales-related job. Though this question is very simple at first glance, it can become a real challenge if you don’t know how to answer it properly. Questions that fall into the category of sell-me-this-pen, can also be a pain in the neck for the toughest sales cookies out there.It’s still a good question not because it’s that hard to answer, but because it’s that easy and straightforward! If your prospective employee has nothing to say, well, they simply have no idea about selling and advertising. It's no surprise that this technique is being copied by HRs across the planet for years now.You have to know the buyer. If you’d like to sell a pen, you should be asking the buyer kind of questions. How long they have been looking for one? Why do they want a pen at all? What would happen if he had a pen? You got the point.You might think: “Pff, stop asking me these stupid questions, I won’t buy your pen”. Building an emotional bound is equally as important as asking the questions. Imagine a story that will build an emotional attachment to this product.Suddenly, the Pen becomes a souvenir.
What does the slang "He sold me a bill of goods" mean?
A "bill of goods" literally would be a list of things (or "goods") that were sold to you. Theoretically what is in the bill is what was sold. This phrase, however, has come to mean that the buyer was fooled. You believed the salesman; you fell for his story; and you bought what he sold you without thinking or checking into it. So . . . he "sold you a bill of goods."
If Steve Jobs were handed a pen and told, "sell me this pen", how would he go about it?
Steve Jobs was a smart, strong willed, persuasive dude. He also was a great entrepreneur and a terrible employee.The question you are asking is essentially someone saying, "I don't believe you know how to sell. Prove me wrong." I never met Steve Jobs, but I'd imagine he'd basically tell the person to go to hell in so many words.The most egregious problem with it is the fact that you are talking to Steve Jobs, the pitchman for Apple.He made Apple the most profitable and successful company in the world.Over the years, I watched Steve pitch many products and you knew that as long as the product wasn't total garbage, he would do a good job selling it. Even if the product wasn't great, he'd still sell the hell out of it to the Apple faithful.Asking this question essentially is pretending that Steve Jobs has never sold anything before. It's like asking Bruce Lee if he can throw a straight punch or side kick or if Brock Lesnar can do a suplex.If you really want to know how Steve Jobs sold things, go back and watch him introduce the iPhone, iPad, Power Macs, iMacs, iPods, and so on. Seeing him in his element, doing his actual selling is more instructive than some kind of silly thought experiment about how Steve Jobs would respond to a lame interview question.If you are wanting to know how to sell something like a pen or pencil like Steve Jobs does, I’d guess he would think about what you want and why you want it.A great example is look at the magical Apple Pencil for the iPad Pro.That is Apple selling a digital pencil. Look at how they sell it. They call it familiar, but revolutionary.They sell what you want to do with it - draw and paint.They sell the technology of having no lag and how amazing that truly is.Most importantly, they are selling it to artists. Why is that the most important?Here is why…Artists are the most likely to buy this. Their profession is to create art, often digitally. So, this tool makes their job easier and potentially makes them more money.If you are making $50,000 a year to create digital art, a $99 digital pen is a tool to make your life better. I can see how they are able to sell that well.To people who aren’t artists and don’t live and die by their ability to take notes on a tablet, this product makes no sense.Sell to people who want the thing in the first place. It’s so much easier.You want to sell someone a pen? They better be someone who writes a lot with a pen.-BrianP.S. I unpack more ideas in Creative Genius.
