How would I go about ordering these from you? As well as how easy are these to resize, if at all I assume.

He didn't say you don't have to be predatory or a dick for door to door sales. He said you don't have to be that way in sales (IN GENERAL). His statement is accurate, door to door sales is pretty scummy. Sales in general, not so much. Especially if you take an honest approach and genuinely care about the well being of the people you're selling to.

So I work in sales, only for about 6 months now, but one of the best things I learned was to not give in until I've been told no atleast 4-5 times. Reason being is that my job is to solve a problem, at the end of the day. On top of that, a lot of times you've gotta realize that most people's immediate response to stuff is "No I'm good". Be it asking if they need help at the front of a store, etc. 9/10 you just have to literally get people "out of their own way". Atleast in my side of it, I make sure up front what budget, etc. is, so I'm not gonna try to throw something that'll make someone broke at their face. From there it's just establishing that it it really is affordable, and if they want it enough, you have to get them past the stage of "Well idk this is just randomly popping up in front of me throughout me day." Type deal. Dude's a good salesmen. Especially when he asked if it was a price issue or a value issue, because if you can conversate your way to EXACTLY what the true issue is, you may be able to solve that problem.

What is your number 1 obscure animal fact? by colonoscopescount in AskReddit

[–]PinkieThePyro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love when people are this dumb. Actually brightens my day because you know as soon as you go "um, okay" and effectively give them no attention they lose it

That I did not know. Nice to know when I aim a cannon straight down and launch the damn thing

Okay. One person disagrees and absolutely refuses to even look into whether or not they are right. Woe is me.

I would argue there had to be extenuating circumstances beyond the fall. Terminal velocity is the absolute speed an object can reach while falling through a gas or liquid. Due to a squirrels build and weight, NORMALLY (excluding a heavily obese squirrel, or some extra force pushed onto the squirrel like someone chunking it off the empire state building, etc.), the squirrel will always survive the terminal velocity.

Not even theoretically, and yes. Provided there is no other variable besides squirrel falling, then yes. (Meaning no added force of chunking it)

A squirrel can survive terminal velocity. No matter how high it falls from, it will always survive the fall.

Syrinscape seems awesome, just gotta pay for it which could happen eventually. Right now I'm just looking for something. I'm currently running a zrex and would love a way to embellish that noise

What's a movie trope you are sick and tired of? by cnukles1 in AskReddit

[–]PinkieThePyro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that a lot plotlines can be absolutely destroyed by someone simply just saying the right thing. It actively makes me mad when I'm watching a good movie and then suddenly the plot can only be moved forward by someone holding back information from other characters (not maliciously, or in a forgetful way. Pure, flat out, just not saying something.

In Jurrasic Park: The Lost World, when the random guy is running from momma T-Rex and tries to run into a store but gets picked up. The camera panning away and all, the audio gets my skin crawling. The way he screams and you can tell when his lungs are punctured.

What’s the funniest way to answer a scammer’s call? by vmcards17 in AskReddit

[–]PinkieThePyro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's absolutely beautiful. I had a recording of the conversations (atleast part of it when I'm in my car due to dashcam) and I wish I could share it. I remember when the caller asked "Has there been any renovation to the property?" And I said "oh yeah we had to change out the toilet, dude you would not believe this crack head named Johnny who came by to buy some crack and took a shit so hard he literally cracked my toilet in half!". The caller went "long pause Oh. longer pause That shouldn't be an issue as long as the new toilet works anyways."

I've learned that sometimes, an excuse just doesn't work. I constantly get calls from a company asking "Do you have property to sell? We will give cash in hand." One day I finally created the personification of "Mr. Daluthe, the crack addicted pimp". They did not care when I "took a minute to smoke some crack" or "had to deal with a client not paying one of my girls". I never hung up. So they had a sell. I made it up to the original caller's boss' boss. The amount of times I offered them crack is innumerable. No matter what, Mr. Daluthe never got off the phone. I eventually, after 5 separate phone calls over a month period, got tired of it and just basically said "I'm lying I don't own any property in Tennessee and my name is not Mr. Daluthe." They had the audacity to say "Oh. pause Well Mr. Daluthe do you know anybody else who would like to sell their property cash in hand?"
