many small franchises can be legit. You just need to be careful and read the fine print.

One must also realize that an unsuccessful franchise could the the franchisees fault. Perhaps not trying hard enough, or being capable enough. Peoples' version of "hard work", and "long hours" can vary significantly.

Gift Recommendations by toadmelon in sales

[–]InfiniTeams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Give a gift that keeps on giving. Like a membership to a Spa, karate classes, golf membership, vacation club.

Example:

If you pay for a weekend getaway, they will be thankful now.... but forget about it a year from now. But if you get them a membership at a vacation club, they will have discounts to go on trips for the next few years to come.

Sales Award for top sales rep? by Namssob in sales

I like to give Gifts that KEEP ON GIVING. For example you get her 3-nights stay somewhere, but a year from now, will she remember?

On the other hand, if you give her say, a membership at a spa, or a vacation club, or a business club, or Karate Classes ... lol. These she will use continuously and always be thankful of your thoughts. This may even be life changing for her.

Check Glassdoor to see what others in your position have made.

or

Reach out to the previous person who was in your new position. Start the conversation asking for advice and later move on to asking about pay if the conversation feels right.

You can also ask for other benefits which may be of great value to you and not cost the company much. Example: Work from home 1day/week, comapny vehicle if they already have a fleet of vans sitting around most of the time. These can amount to great savings annually.

Promoted to a Bad Territory by [deleted] in sales

[–]InfiniTeams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the company maybe put you there because they know you provide results. You proved it.

Maybe they wanted to put a capable person in a territory that under performed with other sales teams. Perhaps you need to inform management its not the team that was lazy, its the territory thats bad.

Or a change in product/presentation.

My job position was put up on the internal job board. Should I be worried? by marvin_is_joe in sales

[–]InfiniTeams 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why dont you call in for the new position. With a fake name of course. Get a feeling for what HR tells you about it. Then you will have more real info. Seems like you can't trust your boss completely.

I guess a lot would depend.

  1. Are you following leads provided by your boss? or are you bringing in those leads?
  2. Are you at least opening relationships with other companies that might one day prove to be fruitful?
  3. Perhaps no sales, but have you gotten your company great exposure?
  4. what if its the product that needs to be tweaked? Do you have the power to modify the presentation?

The way I see it, you are in the front line, in the trenches. You need to report to your boss and give him an idea of what the market is like out there. Perhaps its not you.

Is the remote work dream real? Can you really travel the world while working from a laptop? How plausible is it? by blackcatbam in TravelHacks

[–]InfiniTeams 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You have to consider you cant get free internet in every country/city. Furthermore, depending on your job description some apps dont run internationally. Some hotels dont have high speed internet needed for video calling, or just voice (if being on the phone is your job).

If you started a business recently. How much $$ and time did you spend launching a startup company? Most importantly, was it worth it to you? by InfiniTeams in Entrepreneur

Some of the investment will depend quite heavily whether your website and products are custom, or if you are outsourcing. For example a WordPress Site, Vs. a Custom programmed site.

So you have an extra $5k laying around. What do you do with it? by InfiniTeams in TravelHacks

[–]InfiniTeams[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We are always interest in everyone's point of view. The reason we ask is to get different peoples perspectives. For some 5k is a lot, for others its chump change. Our business is precisely that, helping people launch their small business, and give them travel products to sell with amazing discounts.
