Subject: Sales 101


Somebody brought up the point that Aqua Lungs are NOT NEEDED. ok, lets use
some logic to figure this out. Example: you are in a mall and you happen to
see, say, a golden chain. you dont need a golden chain but are intrigued by
it so you check it out. $200! you say. "HELL NO." you think. "too much."
i.e. customer walks away and sale is not made. ok. same scenario..you are
in a mall and you happen to see, say, a golden chain. you dont need a golden
chain but are intrigued by it so you check it out. $80. "wow. thas a good
price!" ok. FIRST OFF, the customer, who didnt even need a golden chain in
the first place is ALREADY considering the purchase. this would not be the
case if the price were, oh, say $200. the customer would have disregarded
the purchase right away because high prices are a turn -off. yur already
halfway to a sale! congrats! so, say you offer something else that makes the
sale almost unresistable ( time for you to get creative..i wont divulge my
own methods). now the customer is almost ready to buy the item...he/she is
already considering the money they have in his/her pocket and, basically
talking themselves into buying said merchandise (ppl do this all the time,
they tell themselves it is a GREAT deal and they prolly wont find it ever
again..etc..etc) now for people skills. if yur good, the sale is complete,
and you walk away with money in your pocket, as well as a satisfied
customer. does this sound logical? ok, now take the prices i used, divide by
2, and multiply by 10. Voila! Cest-Magifique! (my price vs these (fill in
derogatory name here) suggested retail price)
btw... i HIGHLY encourage ppl on Veeshan (Askur's server), Zinken's server,
and Gagaliya's server and show these "buisness experts" just how you can
very easily:

1.)create a loyal customer base
2.)make many ppl VERY happy/satisfied
3.)make plenty of cash to tinker on
4.)how to flatline your opponent's (in this case one of the 3 said arses)
Tinkering income.

take care honest gnomes out there.
