what does a sales rep do?
 

i'm curious. it sounds like something i should be doing for someone.

sales + rep + MrIzzz = alot of money

:glugglug

Project a company image.

Post a lot for massive sig exposure.

Answer questions and present a report to the client re 'company perception'

Make announcements on behalf of the client

Assist in press releases

Assist in idea dissemination and info gathering

We do some of this already. We offer sig post saturation/announcements for 12 cents each

:thumbsup

very very interesting.

i wonder if there are any hip and fun companies out there...

I flirt with you all day... thats what I do.

you have to be able to sell something :)

i always wondered why you never became a sales rep for a gay company??? your twink abilities are infamous:1orglaugh

i know you're good at what you do bro:thumbsup

the sales rep of today is not what it used to be in the past in this business.

Now, reps need to "produce" sales. They need to have an understanding of the biz, be able to give marketing ideas, have lots of computer skills and at the same time be able to blow lots of smoke up peoples ass!

well fucken said :thumbsup

:thumbsup

i blow smoke like a dirty chimney

well there you go. You are 90% there

i am also hotter then 75% of the female reps :banana and just the other day i got my diploma to surf the interweb

Izzz, you're a great sales rep if you can sell this :

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

believe it or not, a long time ago, one of my friends worked for a company that sold these and he offered me a job there:1orglaugh

I'm not quite sure what I do. I just say "see sig" from time to time and I cash my checks every two weeks.

It's selling plain air !

How about balloons ?

hehe.

Customer service:winkwink:

and how was it "in the past"?

Izz... you could sell security consulting for me to long island companies...

:Graucho


you're talking mainstream though, right? i'd rather stay in adult, if thats what you meant

Yeah... I uh, "go both ways" with security. Adult is a small (but fast growing) percentage of my business. At least let me buy you a drink in Vegas and tell you about the buckets of cash you could be making. :)

its a date. :glugglug

I'm flying out on the 4th and flying back late on the 7th. I don't know if my liver can take more than that. :)

Im a sale's rep for Sea Animals International.

Hello Sea Animals International this is kyle speaking.

Thats all I do all day it's a pretty sweet gig!

they post on boards and don't reply to emails :glugglug

heh. I dont know if you're serious or not, but I was thinking about applying to do it too, im really good at sales and marketing, etc and I know I have a better understanding of the industry then a lot of sales reps out there. Just not sure if I want to work for someone else.

they represent, yo :glugglug

all jokes aside, i'm serious.

i wouldn't mind working with some established sponsors:glugglug

:1orglaugh

you know that wired guy is working on that now....so that leaves no room for sales for anyone else:(

find a company that'll hire you on a part-time basis.

sales rep?
the guy at 7-11 is a sales rep
the guy at McDonalds is a sales rep.

I would luv to do that. Sig can change with the first of the year. Guess I'd have to change my name to Epic-pussy or silver pussy. I like Naughty-Pussy. Geeze I'm a guy though.

Know a bit about html and I can read. I think many reps help out affilaites with promtion issues like getting the banner to link to the site or how do I get that row of webcam girls window on my TGP or how do I do an iFrame.....

A rep also has to cause a little drama from time to time to make sure impressions of the sig are high.

A rep ICQs affilaites about specials and keeps the sponsors name in front of the crowd least they forget to promote - all without it seeming like spam.

A real good rep lies about conversions and shaving. Ah err puts a good spin on conversions and shaving. Then there is the sucking up to the boss.

We are about the hippest as they come....

Hit me up 74296267

lol. good to know. I hate making a serious post in a thread thats just fucking around. happens a lot around here. :1orglaugh

hitting you up now:thumbsup

Thanks. But how do you do that? Like say if I was interested in being a rep for epic cash.. do you just email the people there and explain your experience/what you bring to the table? Or is there a different way of going about this?

I was exagerrating, of course. I deal with affiliates on a daily basis through email, ICQ or AIM. Help them with promotion, get them the things they need, etc.

No need for me to lie about shaving. We don't shave and we have a 3rd party verification company that confirms that. As for conversions, I only quote my own and program-wide conversions, and I'm always truthful with that.

Being a part-time rep means I also do my own stuff the rest of the time. I speak to reps for other companies and I'd hate to be fed bullshit by them, so there's no way I'd do the same to others. Commission makes up a big chunk of my salary. The less my affiliates make, the less I make. The more they make, the more I make. So why would I feed 'em bullshit?

In my case, pimpdog saw me around the boards and I guess he liked what he saw, so he approached me and offered me a position.

But your idea would work. What do you have to lose? Worst case scenario is that they'll say they're not interested.

Izzz...

If you make even a somewhat decent income from your own sites, you don't want to be a sales rep. Trust me. You'll get frustrated real quick, haha.

You beat me to it. Now marketing on the other hand, I don't think you have to actually sell anything.

Wow, I can do all of that well! Hrmmmmm, not a reason to give up on the RN degree though. :thumbsup

Yep yep! You have always appeared to be very level headed and don't get loud and spout off like pimpdog himself. I have always noticed you as a reserved, polite webmaster. And obviously you produce, because anyone that knows Trey knows that if you don't produce, you're no longer a rep. for Epic Cash! :thumbsup

xoxo,
Candice :winkwink:

so i've heard, but there are different aspects of this business that i will not be able to get into if i only bring in income from my own sites. i may not make alot from them, but with the quick amount of connections i've made over the last year i think its time i used that to everyones advantage. and so i am willing to put up with "certain" stresses of being a rep, if thats what i end up doing

i think they all do a little bit of everything

You can always do consulting lol

Make a press release about yourself. Post content from your paysites every day like some ppl do in here.

You mean connections on the boards, or rather in real life? I mean can you somehow guarantee that you could bring a certain amount of active affiliates to a new program?

And I don't mean hitting up Dr Dre on GFY and telling him how good my program is, or replying to threads and promoting it - since I can do that equally good, but rather offline stuff...

You know what, I thought the exact same thing.

Let's take this to ICQ. There's a couple things I would like to at least warn you about. Hit me up when its convenient for you. 147479144.

:1orglaugh

thats pretty bad, but i do agree with you, post count doesnt mean jack, and a few icq convos doesnt mean you can make money.

Actually, I get what you're saying 100%. And it's true. Being on your own is good to a point, but if you aren't able to gain experience in other aspects of the industry, then you never realize your full potential.

Personally, I've always looked at it from a standpoint of how can doing something else add to the experience and knowledge I have and will that make me more valuable all around. If working on a project with someone gives me that, I value it much more than just making the same money doing something I already know how to do.

I've had 3 jobs in this industry. Cashquest (marketing and affiliate program), CCBill (VP of Marketing), and SIC (running the program with Brad yelling at me all the time lol). What I gained from each of those jobs left me with the experience and the ability to work my way now, with the people I choose to work with, at a good price. I've worked with alot of companies since then on short or longer term projects and I've learned alot from many of them.

One thing I haven't done is stop learning things every day, from all different sources. Occasionally a newbie webmaster can come up with an idea that's fresh and profitable. Not often, but enough that it makes keeping up with things interesting.
