Would it sell?

[Mole_C]

Looking for a job for a few months before I hopefully head down to Welly and have been offered one in telesales. Not to sure about the product thou and wondering if anyone would actually buy one as it is mostly commission based. Its basically a health and beauty voucher booklet with vouchers from 8 different stores which includes

Complimentary Facial (30 min)
Complimentary eyebrow tidy and eyelash tint
Complimentary 5 Foils or 3 Colour flashes
Complimentary hair treatment suited to own hair type and condition
50% off a Designer Cut and blow wave
50 % Off a Massage
Complimentary nail file and paint
Complimentary express manicure with every pedicure
3 x Complimentary yoga classes.
3 x Complimentary Power Plate sessions
2 x Complimentary Booty Camp Trainings
Complimentary 1 on 1 one hour pilates assessment
Complimentary reflexology treatment (20 mins)

And a lot of discounts on products and services from the 8 places

Costs $60 for the voucher booklet which is the same price as the facial would normally be. Over $700 value all up

So, would anyone actually buy one either for themselves or for a gift? Know anyone that would or do you think it's a waste of time?

Hmmm, wouldnt interest me but im assuming that you'll be in Akld still? May go down a treat IF you pick the right "type" of people to sell it to. Chicks my age seem to be onto that crap (sorry, I tried to think of a better word to use...)

The real question is - will it blend?

There have been so many of this type of thing over the years that most are a wakeup to them.

If it was such a good deal they wouldnt be doing commision only. I wouldnt touch it.

[Nasty]

I ma incredibly picky who I let near me ... so wouldn't interest me ... a lot of woman in my demographic already have people they see on a regular basis.

[Mom]

Not at all interested, and as Tank has said, I think you will be on a hiding to nowhere trying to sell these on commission. There are plenty of other jobs out there, go look for a better one is my advice!

[georgie]

Oooh, I'd buy one! I'm a sucker for those sorts of things.... But bugger trying to sell them for a living

[BuFfY]

I had someone trying to sell it to me once before but I said no. I like all my beauty stuff but to be honest I really wouldn't see the use in buying the book. It would be a better idea to go into businesses, rather then telemarket cause I would rather have the book there to flick through rather than have it forced on me at home on the phone.

Short answer... no!

[Toaster]

With all the extra money people now don't have in this current economic downturn this gimmic seems like a bit of a luxury item.

I'd rather spent the dosh on bling for the bike.

[Madness]

I agree with Mom, don't sell yourself short.

I used my vote for my other half, her being of the sex that I see this product aimed at. Men might be more likely to actually buy this as a gift, most probably an unwanted gift IMHO.

No.

[007XX]

I'd buy one...$60 is definitely good value for all that you're getting although it is a little unnerving not knowing who will perform the said treatments.

Personally, I never really get to "treat myself" to little things like a great haircut or a manicure, simply because just a haircut costs $65 :shit:

So, I like the concept, but I'd also want to find out who the "performing artists" will be.

PS: telesales on comm only are 9 times out of 10 a go nowhere sort of job. Keep looking and raise your expectations levels a little. You will be surprised what you can achieve with a little more self confidence.:niceone: Good luck!

Holy fuck! I refuse to pay more than $30 for a haircut and only get one about once a year! I am lucky that I have boring old long hair that really cant justify $60+ for an inch or so to be trimmed off it! Just Cuts - $25. That's what im talking about!!! :D

[Tank]

$65 is nothing for a chicks hair.

Where my daughter works they regularly have girls spending iro $400 on having their hair done.:buggerd:

Never ceases to amaze me.

Me - I just get my head shaved at home. Only expense is having to pay for my own beer whilst its done.

[Lissa]

I personally wouldnt buy it. I wonder if the voucher has a time period that you have to use them by? By the time you get around to doing something with the voucher its expired..(well has happened to me in the past with massage gift certificates). People have tried to sell me similar things in the past, but I am not interested in spending $60 on stuff I didnt really want in the first place, and have no choice in where to get it done. There is always a catch with these things usually, like for example 50% off the massage, could be off a very expensive massage.

I think you should probably do as MOM says.. thats good advice. :)

Yeah, I know...unfortunately up here, it's the going rate for a half decent haircut, and my hair grows so damn fast, I'd really have to have it chopped every 4 weeks if I want to keep up with the "up to the minute corporate look" that my office requires :rolleyes: :angry2:

PS: I tried Just Cuts once, and they butchered my hair...never again thanks.

[Number One]

Don't do it!!!

As others have said raise your sights. If you are considering telemarketing try Call centres instead...much better prospects and you get salary most of the time too so can count on your pay each week/fortnight whatever.

I once worked a commission only job selling Saturn door to door - worst effing job I ever had and when on my 4th night out there beating the streets a guy tried to pull me inside his house I rang my 'employer' from Caltex Rimutaka (down the road from the creeps house) to tell them that they could stick their job where the sun doesn't shine and mother no longer kisses them!

:spanking:

[Disco Dan]

5 Free Foils? :cool:

I'd be keen :2thumbsup

[slimjim]

think there is something on fair-go about this sort of thing, something to do with wht the shop's are no longer accepting these book discount's by carefully you could be out of pocket

[Number One]

OMG ME too and when I went to another hairdresser to get it 'fixed up' she asked if I had cut it myself! Then she had to tell me there was little she could do to make it better.

Worst haircut though was when I won a TV makeover and they 'made me over' during the live broadcast - that was another hairdo that needed fixing but this time the hairdresser asked if I'd let my son cut it!!!!

And there it becomes confirmed: even Kawakas' owners can be gay...:shifty:

Oh dear! Maybe I should get my hubby to pay for my haircuts...he hasn't had to go to a hairdresser since he met me...:lol: It's a curse being handy with a pair of scissors, but not being able to do it for yourself.

*Just kidding if you read this Honey...:o*

This wouldn't be for a crowd called "Gold Book Promotions" would it? If it is stay as far away as you can is my advice!

I'll have you know I've got mountains of hair on this head o mine and it's bloody tough thick hair too - bulgarian genes - fricken deep rooted hairs too plucking is still a bitch <_<

Seems thought that I just can't break it :2guns: and I have tried over the years....I am a Hutt chick after all :devil2: what else is your mop for?

And I don't need to do his hair - he does it...buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz SOOOO cheap and always tidy :yes:

[little green FXR]

I honestly wouldn't think about doing this kind of job if I were you.
People are now so completely desensitised to sales people now that you need to have true banefits to sell , and the ability to communicate them.
this kind of product has been sold door to door in every suburb of every town for far too long, and people would generally have no interest.
The other factor is that the type of people that would want these vouchers for these discounts probably wouldn't have the sixty dollars spare lying around for it.

[Mole_C]

Cheers guys, already turned it down yesterday as i thought it wouldn't sell that well and was a bit gay for me anyway :)
