As you've probably read before, I own and run a local grocery store.
After having my relative run the store for sometime, I thought why not get a sales job? I would learn sales, make relationships and learn more about different markets.
The job was that we would sell portable wi-fi routers by using door to door technique where we basically enter every shop and ask them if they would want to buy the offer.
This company called DirectSales gives all it's employees a ten days sales training course.
They basically teach you the following (and that's what we had to do for 12 hours later) :
You enter the shop by introducing yourself and colleagues. You'd then tell them about the wifi router and its features, showing them that it costs 77 dollars in the main shop (which is a big lie). HOWEVER because of some local occasion (the sales guy can choose whatever he sees fit, for example christmas, easter, ramadan w/e) there will be a draw and whoever gets the pick will get a free wifi router with a pre-paid card.
So what happens next is the sales guy asks for your ID in order to enter you the draw by sending the photos through watsapp. The sales guy then chooses one guy from his own choice and says "The system has chosen a winner!" and makes a big happy moment that the person has won!
Everyone cheers! Everyone's happy! The people gather around to congratulate him.
The sales guy takes out a contract sheet and starts filling the paper in order for the guy to receive his gift. After the sales guy fills the contract, he then asks the guy who won to pay 33 dollars to his colleague and sign a one year agreement to pay 18 dollars a month for the card subscription. WTF. Many people reject and disagree on what the hell is going on. But out of 20 shops, one person accepts and buys the offer thinking he has won more than 70% OFF even though the sales guy clearly said in his intro talk that whoever wins will get it for free!
WHAT THE F*ck.
Lol, 12 hours later - I quit.
Is this even allowed? Has anyone experiences this shit before?
