Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

I can walk

 

You been off for a while now!

 

...and it's wonderful.

 

Says the guy who has to go into work today.

I will be able to as well in a few weeks.

 

Haha.. I bought a couple books yesterday. Gonna try to get in the habit of reading at least an hour a day

 

Good move.

What did you buy?

 

Well my new job is sales and I dont really have any experience with sales so I bought

"Think and sell like a CEO"
"Masters of Sales"
"Closing Techniques: that actually work"

I figure it will at least give me a brief insight into becoming a better salesman. And if nothing else it will make my "boss" happy lol

Those 3 books are usually 12-17 each and I bought all 3 for $9

 

Let's say you get the internship here in houston. What are you going to do with your gf?

 

When you're done reading those books. Try to sell me something

 

Try to stay together.. if it doesnt work it doesnt work. My ex tried to hold me back from accomplishing what I wanted so im not gonna let it happen again, especially at 22

Well if youre interested in life insurance let me know

If not wait until the end of summer and ill work with you to get you into some investments (mutual funds, etfs, bonds, securities, US t bills, etc)

 

Fucking right!! Don't let no bitch hold you down. There are plenty more where she came from.

 

Morning

I have to work as well today...

 

I always say, help yourself before helping others

 

Haha thats the wrong attitude in sales. but in this situation yeah.. im really making the push to get her to move to Houston. Making some really good arguments too lol

She wants to be down south where her degree is more in demand. But she wants to go to Atlanta (shes never been just likes it from TV) but after showing her some pictures, showing how close to the beach it is, and showing her the types of places we could afford, shes coming around

 

Nice score. There is always something to be learned from any book... even if it's to never read the damn thing again.

I want those Duallys.

I'm with Dennis on this. Don't allow anyone to hold you back from your dreams.

Morning Matt!

Our industry is like Wall Street: it never sleeps.

I dunno. We're all doing something to further our own self-interests and sales is probably the epitome of that.

What's your girl's degree?

 

Lol true story, and we will see what happens if I get one. If I dont it doesnt much matter lol

Im just saying you cant let the client know you're only doing it to deepen your pockets lol

Shes a disability services major and she wants to be a Behavioral Analysist

 

Right, you have to build that relationship with the customer. Think of it like this: they're paying you to like you.

Tell her to check out the Michael E. DeBakey VA hospital here in Houston. It's staffed by Baylor College of Medicine employees. Houston's Medical Center located a mile or two away is one of the most advanced in the world.

 

Yup. The more you get them to like you the easier the sale is.

Will do. She also would like the option to be a teacher, or work with a center for Autism if you have something like that

 

I'm not sure what's out there, but if it exists as far as medicine/behavioral science is concerned, Houston has it.

 

Awesome thanks!
