  • Customers Suck? Don't I Know It...

    Hello! I'm DemoDiva and I am new.

    I'm 21, of the female persuasion, and an American living in Australia. I work in sales and marketing promotions with retail outlets (that's just fancy-talk for 'I stand around and say, 'Have you seen the New Such-And-Such? Can I demonstrate it for you?' over and over for four hours a day) as well as being a sales consultant for a popular Australian communications company. Since my primary job for the past year has been promotions and demonstrations, I am commonly referred to as "The Promo/Demo girl". I prefer the term "Demo Diva", personally, but I can't complain.

    Before these two jobs I hold simultaneously, which only means I get twice the suckiness, I used to be a door-to-door salesperson selling satellite TV, an ice-cream scooper, and a seasonal department store sales clerk, among other things.

    All of my jobs have been in retail, and I have had my share of sucky customers. It's been a joy working my way through the archives and lurking around the forums. I say to myself, "Self," I say, "finally we have found a forum that UNDERSTANDS."

    Can't wait to share the stories and participate in the hilarity/commiseration!

      Make a list of important things to do today.
      At the top of your list, put 'eat chocolate'
      Now, you'll get at least one thing done today

        tropicsgoddess: Yeah, most people only last a week or so. I managed to stick it out for over half a year before I decided I'd rather stab myself in the head than knock on one more door. :P

        r2cagle: Uh, yep. I sure did. Possibly?

          I only meant that you've managed 8 posts before I saw your intro posts.
          It was an unintended pun, though.

          I've been a little off-focus and not paying attention lately..

            OH.

            Yes, well. I like to make an impression. When I rock onto a forum, I like it to suddenly be like, "Oh, what, DD? She's been here forever, right?"
