In 2010, I worked as a door-to-door salesmen selling broadband.

Recently, I thought about the many similarities between these and trying to pick girls in a nightclub.

The key similarities are:

There are lot more nos than yeses.

This is what separates the chodes from the champions - in sales and pick-up.

Most people take the nos so personally that they have a shit attitude when they meet the customer that would have otherwise said yes...

You are being judged within a few seconds

Yes, you're partly being judged by what you look like.

But, you're mostly being judged by your vibe, voice tonality and body language.

If you're having a fun awesome time, people will listen to what you have to say.

If sub-communicate that you're having a shit time and everyone on the street is rejecting you, there'll be another door immediately slammed in your face.

(The point on looks is mostly to do with how you present yourself. Fashion, grooming etc. We had people of all demographics slaying it in the field.)

It's more about your personality than what you're actually selling

The cool, fun salesman with a rubbish product, is the metaphorical 5'4" guy with good game.

The unconfident lame salesman with a good product is the metaphorical 6' 3" handsome chode.

The first guy makes more sales...

The law of state transference

The 'number one rule of pick-up' is arguably also the number one rules of sales.

"Whatever you feel, they feel"

There was this one ditzy blonde woman who absolutely SLAYED in the field, even though she barely knew anything about the product.

She was just fun to be around. She'd show them how much money they'd save. It was so simple.

Meanwhile, experienced salesmen who got sick of the job would struggle, despite having all the sales knowledge in the world.

There will be plenty of people that could have bought, but didn't for logistical reasons.

A lot of the time, the rejections are about them not you.

If their fat friend is over for dinner, she'll block the sale just like she blocks the fuckboys in the club.

If the homeowner is about to leave for an urgent appointment, they don't have time for you.

There are as many women tied into broadband contracts, as there are tied into relationships...

Your best opportunities are at the end of the session

We worked 14.00pm until 20.00pm, but most of the eligible buyers wouldn't get home from work until 18.00.

The first four hours would mostly be people who aren't eligible for the product. The last two hours would be where the sales are made.

Yet, there were so many where I had a 'state crash' from all the rejections before those final golden hours rolled around - and made 0 sales as a result.

The same happens with pick-up newbies who get pissed off because of all the rejections they accumulate before 'pull o' clock' when the girls are ready to go home.

Heck, RSD Madison estimates that around 30% of pulls are likely to be girls you meet AFTER the club closes. Except most newbies have gone home to cry-masturbate way before then...

You get better, the more you practice

With game and sales, there are a limited amount of obstacles and objections to overcome.

The more you practice, the easier they are to overcome.

What can we learn from all this???

The point I want to get across is that 'good game' is all about having an awesome personality, which remains on point no matter how much rejection you face.

Also, if you're good at game, you'd probably make a lot of money in door-to-door sales. :)
