In reply to Lou, didn't see your response to shar, , posted by Gabbi on July 15, 2002, at 14:40:35
Shar and Gabbi,
Another reason that I stopped the thread was that the length of the thread would be extensive. Now I would like to continue with the thread, but how could I justify the thread on the social board at all,for it involves my faith that I can not separate from the topic, which means that it would have to be on the faith board.
Could you give me a suggestion as to how I could post the thread?
Lou

Shar and Gabbi,
Another reason that I stopped the thread was because I thought it might be considered "business" instead of support. Could ask Dr. Bob to make a determination on that and if he OKs it, I will continue.

Hi Lou,
What makes of cars did you sell that summer in Cincinnati? My dad worked as business manager of a Chevrolet dealership for 21 years.
Best wishes,
Mark H.

Shar,
I do want to continue with the thread, but I was afraid that the thread would be like some of my other threads and cause an uproar again. It is not that I am bowing out, it is taking a time-out to see if the thread would be approved by the admin.
It is my intention to help others here with my posts, but I have to remain in the perameters of the board. Now could you tell me, and you have been here a long time, how I could post the topic knowing in advance that The City of Peace and The Rider on the White Horse is going to be involved?

Mark,
I sold Fords. I sold 40 cars a month, every month, and the dealership's best salesperson sold 12 per month. They asked me how I was able to triple their best person's sales.

Hi again Lou,
Your question was for Shar, but I happen to be on line right now, so I hope you don't mind my offering one possible answer.
You could start a new thread on the Faith board on Sales and Service, for instance, and point people there.
The title of your post to babyBella here could be "See Sales Thread on Faith Board" and click the "no message" box.
For the social part, you could continue here.
Best wishes,
Mark H.

Mark H,
If it went to the faith board as "sales and service", wouldn't you have to rename the board just "sales and service advise" without the faith and then establish a whole new board?

Lou, I think Mark's suggestion was excellent, and I'm sure Dr. Bob would let it go on the faith board. But I'm not Dr. Bob and I understand your caution. Didn't Dr. Bob invite you to contact him by email when you weren't sure about a post? Perhaps that would be best. Then you could be helpful while feeling secure about your actions within the parameters of the board.
Best wishes,
Dinah

Thank you for your interest in this administration matter. I have emailed Dr. Bob, and we can wait for his response. Thank you for pointing out that you understand "my caution".
Best wishes,

Thank you all for your concern. I didn't mean to make such an upheaval (spelling?) or mockery of the board. I was simply asking for some advice on how to not be nervous. I didn't mean to make anyone mad at Lou, although leading me on with no definate answer was annoying..lol At any rate I do apologize for this whole incident

Hi babyBella,
No need to apologize at all. We're all sorting out what type of posting works best on each board at the moment. Social is the least specific of the boards, and your posts are appropriate here.
If I understand correctly, Lou's faith is integrated into many different aspects of his life, so he is being sensitive to others by realizing that what he intended to share with you was about to include matters of spiritual belief that might be more appropriately expressed on the Faith board.
If you're new to these boards, welcome! My advice is to give others the benefit of the doubt whenever you can, and to take everyone's advice (including mine) with a grain of salt.
Best wishes,
Mark H.

Lou,
I don't think it would require a new board. Matters of faith include all aspects of life, including our work. In fact, it's the application of faith in daily life that most interests me. Pure theory often leaves me scratching my head.
Best wishes,
Mark H.

Lou,
How were you able to triple their best person's sales? Selling 40 cars a month is a remarkable achievement, even in a city 5 times as large as Cincinnati. Wow! I'm sure the dealership was sorry to see you go -- how could you leave a position in which you were so successful?
Best wishes,
Mark H.

Oh gosh,
I'm new here too though I don't act like it. I think if my first letter had had such a domino I would have been mortified. You are a sensitive person, and so am I. I think what happened took on a life of its own, and (my opinion) is that now its simply being used as an example to establish what belongs where, and the principles involved should something like this occur again then at least there will be some sort of "standard"
Don't let it scare you off! I've read boards from previous sessions and things like this have happened before.
Finding this place has been such a huge help, and fun, so much genuine support I hope this didn't make you think you set off a landmine you didn't.

I just didn't want my first post to make ya'll mad at me. It appears as though no one is. That's good. I plan on sticking around here, although perhaps with less controversial posts

bB, You are young articulate so to me that says...head shop. *That's a joke, sorry.
How about something you would enjoy? Do you like the outdoors? Do you like music? Sell CD's.
Work at a zoo. Join the circus.
Phone sales suck, I'm sorry. Outbound phone sales requires skills that 99% of people don't even want. I've done it. There was no amount of prayer or anything else that could motivate me.
Depression and rejection are a bad, bad combination.Have fun,

I want to own my own business one day, making jewlery so this is just a tempory job anyway. And I actually made a few calls today and I really didn't feel nervous, which was fun. I actually was getting kinda angry that people weren't answering hehe. I've decided (for now) to just keep at it and work my hardest while also working hard on my own project (the business) that way I don't get so wrapped up in my job. I thank all of you for your support and offer this piece of useless advice that my great frien gave me.....Picture yourself talking to Homer Simpson, then who cares what they say :)

Mark H,
You asked what happened at the dealership to make me leave.
Mark, there was a meeting and the manager was instructing the sales staff to now do an unethical type of sale. It bascally was a way to overcharge the customer without them knowing it.
I left the meeting and was walking outside in the lot. A man with an eye-patch pulled up to me in a pearl-white Mustang. He called out to me, "Are you Lou?" I walked up to the Mustang and the driver said," Blessed are those that hear the word of God and KEEP it."
I left the lot and never came back.
Lou

Sounds like your friend gave you some good advice. I might try that the next time I have to make a phone call I dread - it happens even when you're not selling something. Welcome

Have you tried selling your jewelry makings online... I don't know if this is considered advertising, but I read another post where someone suggested Ebay, so I think it'll be allowed?? But then I've sort of "copied" other posted before and got my hand slapped hahahaha long story :) Anyhow, Try selling at arts and crafts booths or flea markets or stuff, you get out and you make some money! :) eBay is good for that too, but you have listing feeees and stuff. Oh well, just a thought :) Do whatcha like.

I agree. Plus it wouldn't need to have that subject line.

Babybella,
maybe you could see a sensitive personality as a good thing. my therapist is very skilled, and has a tremendously sensitive personality. maybe the challenge is in finding out where you could put it to good use --
