Hello, Buddy!

If you got a job in marketing that pays $55 (₦80k) per hour with zero benefits, would you take it?

It’s A Crazy Stunt

Story time!

There was a man who sold security software in the 1990's, but no-one was interested in buying it. Let’s call him Tony.

Tony then complained to a friend that his product couldn’t solve any existing problem. His friend (Jack) suggested a crazy solution; ‘Create a problem for people’.

“But, how do I do that?” Tony was confused.

Now, this is the part where you’ve got to see the crazy stunt Jack pulled on a call 😂.

After watching the video, would you say creating a problem that didn't exist is a dark strategy or not?

Personally, I'd say; Sales involves subtle manipulation disguised as innocent tips lol.

Anyway, let me know your take.

The Funniest Customer Stories

Once, a customer was singing when I answered the phone. It took him about five minutes before he finally heard my voice.
The funniest call I have ever had was at the beginning of this job. The call was going well until I mistakenly said "verificator" instead of "verifier."

The member on the phone just laughed and said "No, honey, you are the verifier." I felt embarrassed
