Is something wrong with me?
We're having a contest at work this month. Management is really pushing us to sell upgrades and add-ons to services, and whoever posts the highest dollar amount wins a Target gift card. Not to mention that the employees get FIFTY PERCENT of whatever add-ons or upgrades they sell. That's huge incentive right there! I whipped up a handy little list of all our add-ons, made copies, and put them in clear plastic holders in every room, so that they would be available to all massage therapists and estheticians.

No tips here on the spiel here. You're in the (virtual) presence of the World's Worst Salesman. It's a trait I'm kinda proud of, actually. But then again, my livelihood never depended on ME selling anything. Others, yes... but not me. ;-)
I was doing fine for a while, but the last few days, nuthin'!
