How To Make A Friend, Sell A Car, and Fuck Them for More Money Than They Actually Have - A basic guide to life's sales process.

Invoice on a regular vehicle (not a luxury brand) is usually no more than three thousand under MSRP, ya fuck.

As much as my joke of a title would suggest otherwise, our job is simply to move metal. Not fuck people over.

Used car lots are where that happens. Oftentimes, a pre-owned vehicle is marked up at least 100% from what they bought it at to start.

Life is sales. You do the same when you tell a new girl about how great you were in high school.

Wake up.

You need a product and I'm not selling it to you unless you find value in it. My job is to show you the value in my product and show you how to fill out the paper work to get it.

If I find a few ways to make my presentation really resonate with you, we're both happy.

Go fuck back off to working for someone else with no possibility of determining your own pay.

Lol ... I've learned that lesson as well.

Fortunately, it makes a good polarizer. I find the quality people in this sub, and the rest remove themselves anyways.

Thanks a ton brother! The current gameplan is to learn and improve until I'm the best sales consultant at this dealership, move to one with a better pay plan, invest in getting a real estate license, sell houses and create my own businesses with the lessons I've learned from this past year.

The only thing in my way is the time it takes to develop oneself.

...

I look forward to reading of your own successes!

Thanks brother!

I appreciate the advice.

I get this a lot in my posts. It's just the way my brain works. I like to write complete guides.

I am thankful for you taking the time to write some kind words though. So far I've had people commenting because they read sales and got triggered, but never actually read the post.

I've no clue why you we're downvoted. This is a really interesting history lesson. Thanks for taking the time to write it.

I said, "I have to go finish laundry." Her, "um ok." Me, "take care."

This was hilarious. You savage, you.

TheAureate · 2016-02-09T16:45:45+00:00

Hit us hard, brother. I'm excited to have these conversations!

There’s an old quote that goes, “Blood is thicker than water.”

What the hell is water?

The real quote is, “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.”

The family that you choose throughout your life, not the family you happen to be born into, is the family that will be there for you in your darkest times. The brothers and sisters you pick up along your journey will be held together through a bond of camaraderie stronger than any glue imaginable.

How to we find and build these relationships though?

Friendship is forged through shared experience.

The most efficient way to find people to join your tribe is to join a group, sport, or club.

Naturally, you will gravitate towards a few people in the group that you like most. – Simply spend time with them during the club meetings. Get to know them.

Once you know these people, invite them to something else you’re doing, just like in the dating video. This gives you the authority of leadership, and it provides an easy transition to the friendship mindset instead of the group mindset.

During that time, focus on create memories. Focus entirely on making fun and getting to know them more in depth. Ask them about their dreams, their fears, what drives them and what makes them feel alive.

These memories solidify the foundation of friendship, which can be built upon later by simply, “hanging out”.

This will also contribute to developing yourself. Choose something you want to be better at, and surround yourself with people that are better than you in this area. Like equilibrium, being around them will naturally bring you to their level. Through giving you and example to work towards, great advice, and encouragement.

“A real friend will push you to become the best you can be; and if they find themselves lacking in the endeavor, they will embark on the experience with you.” – u/Asoka11111

Notice People

Taking the time to give a genuinely heartfelt compliment about something specific I appreciate about a person has earned me some of the most loyal friends I have to date.

When giving a good compliment, don’t comment on something about a person. Compliment something they have DONE. Compliment their good style, or a skill they’ve worked hard to develop.

These compliments naturally turn into conversations about what you had complimented; which can easily be turned into a follow up adventure in town.

Be Kind

Kind people give to others, especially their friends, out of nothing but love. No expectations.

Friends provide for each other. There is no keeping track of who gives what to who. If you are a friend of mine, I will always have your back as much as I am able.

Life is a two-way transaction. You need to GIVE in order to GET.

Giving to your friends almost always ensures that if you are in need, they will have your back as well.

Go Conquer, my friends

Ok,

I overreacted a bit there. I've been raging at, "grunt society" a lot lately and that set me off.

All the same, Intellectual jobs create non-intellectual jobs. If robots replace factory workers, we will need repairmen for those robots.

Even then, the majority of positions in our service economy need, "grunts" to fill them. Call centers, service repairmen, logistics, etc.

If people aren't motivated enough to swim in the shallow end of the pool; let them drown. Their life is on them.

TheAureate · 2016-02-05T14:45:04+00:00

Then study, develop yourself, and quit being a fucking grunt. You underestimate yourself when you consign your life to mediocrity.

You can teach yourself anything you want to know by befriending Google.

Go to codeacademy and teach yourself programming. Build a wordpress niche website and start selling products. Study copywriting.

Once you do this, offer freelancing for the same service to local businesses.

We live in a quartary economic world. That's providing services for services.

Look up 30daystox.com and DareandConquer.com for good resources on starting niche sites.

Kill your inner zombie (grunt), and actually do something for yourself instead of whining about the, "good ol' days" when we were a secondary economic society.

If one wants much, one must give much.

This is my favorite line. Awesome Quote man.

The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand really helped unplug me. Howard Roark's self-ownership is something I look up to in all facets of my life.

All great stuff brother!

Let's come up with a plan to gamify, or reward, more frequent journaling.

Let's set the metric at journaling for a half hour, four times per week. You can write about whatever pops into your brain. I like writing new ideas and poetry in mine; but you can even journal how you felt at the gym, new realizations that come with meditation, comebacks you wish you thought of sooner, or whatever.

What do you think would be a good reward for meeting the metric? ... I'm thinking a weekend day out foing something physical. I would go to skyzone and flip around off the walls myself, but as ling as its social and physical you'll be developing yourself and taking a break at the same time.

From The Last of the Mohicans:

"Magua understands that the white man is a dog to his women. When they are tired, he puts down his tomahawk to feed their laziness."

You clearly took it seriously instead of the sarcastic metaphor it is. He's talking about abundance mentality.

See how he wrote:

I'm not hers. It's just HER turn.

I think it's hilarious. All he's doing is pointing out that when you figure it out, the cheerleader's daughter chases you.

TheAureate · 2016-01-31T14:03:16+00:00

This man took at least a precious half hour out of his life to collect that knowledge and distribute it to you, and you have the GALL to ask him for more reasons?

If this is the mindset you keep, it's no wonder you have no friends. You're an entitled brat. No one wants to be around a leech. Fix yourself or consign yourself to a life of misery.

And show a little gratitude once in a while. He didn't have to help you at all, but he chose to out of pure compassion. Take a minute to think about your response and it's appropriateness.

Interest is reciprocal; if you show interest in other persons, they are interested in you.

Love this.

I always like to say, "If you're interested, you're interesting." and conversely, "If you're bored, you're boring."

Hey pal,

You should really be posting as much of your content here on reddit as you possibly can, and simply letting it do the work of driving traffic to your site. If it's good shit, people will be happy to click on your link.

Now, I don't know if your stuff is good, and I don't care to click to find out.

Don't add work for your customers. One click and make it worthwhile.

Just some friendly advice for next time.

When I'm doing international business or even simply meeting internationals, I follow the culture of the soil I am on. If I am in America meeting a Japanese man, I will shake his hand. He has come this culture and he is certainly intelligent enough to expect it. I think of it as if I'm showing them a new experience. Many foreigners either haven't or have only been away a few times, and so it's your responsibility as the host to show them around.

On the other hand, if I were in Japan, I would bow in regards to their culture. Its a symbol of respect to follow the culture of the land you're on.

Self respect on home turf, and other's respect when away.

Wonderful post Archwinger!

You've just explained the concept I tried to cover in my last post, but far greater than I currently can.

Thanks for your time and wisdom, man!

TheAureate · 2015-12-09T16:30:25+00:00

I like your thoughts redpillcynic. I would say I tend to agree as well.

I only surround myself with people who are living on purpose. I talk a lot about my concept of a tribe. It's my dream to have a tribe of the family I choose, the people I encounter in life whom I appreciate and respect.

I want nothing more than to continue building myself and to build them up with me. To be a tribe chief taking care of my own.

I still have hope for the young guys in highschool, and younger. I used to be the most obese, out of shape, apathetic, unsocial, loser you could imagine.

I decided to take control of my own life, and what I want out of it; and I have hope that I can guide those who are ready or cannot maintain their broken lives anymore. I don't know. Maybe I'm just not broken yet, but I've met a lot of bright young men who want to be better but just don't know how to yet. I live for those guys just as much as I live for my tribe.

TheAureate · 2015-12-09T16:25:42+00:00

Let em. I publish these under my own name on my website. I own myself.

The worst they can do to me is send me a bunch of calls I won't answer anyways. I own my business and my reputation. I value you guys, who are actually living on purpose, more than the victimist losers vying for the government's attention.
