Sales Position Interview

[SC Maintenance]

Man goes to a firm to interview for a sales position. The Sales Manager hands the man his laptop, and says "sell this laptop to me."

Without saying a word the candidate puts the laptop under his arm and walks out of the building.

A bit later the sales manager calls the candidate on the number on his resume, and demands his laptop back. It has lots of important company information on it.

The candidate says "$1000 and its all yours.."

SEMI is one of the most cutthroat, tough business...

3 candidates for sales and marketing rep...
Boss: "What's 2 + 2?"
Candidate 1: "4."
Boss: "Thanks; we'll get back to you."

Boss: "What's 2 + 2?"
Candidate 2: "5."
Boss: "Thanks; we'll get back to you."

Boss: "What's 2 + 2?"
Candidate 3: "What do you want it to be?"
Boss: "You're hired!."

And that's how it works in Silicon Valley. Make it happen or bye-bye!

A psychiatrist pours out some fine whiskey in a glass half full and asked his patient what he sees. Is the glass half full or half empty?
The patient picks up the glass and observes… then drinks the whiskey. Neither… I’m a problem solver.

I worked as a sales associate at a VW dealership, then dieselgate happened, and we couldn't give away vehicles. There were days not a single customer walked through the door. The guy who sold twenty plus cars a month sold four one month. I then applied at a Lexus dealership, and clicked with the GM and was surprisingly offered a sales position. It was the slowest sales year that they'd had in five years. The slogan told to sales associates was "Sell ten from the floor, or there's the door". If you get hired on and it's crazy busy then your golden. Sales isn't for the faint of heart.

Why would you need a salesman if there's no sales to be done anyway?
