Recently, The PHOTOSTIX® Corporation has contacted people from all types of working sales positions and asked what their "ideal sales job" would be like if such a job did truly exist. The sales people we surveyed seemed to have many of the same wishes in common in regards to the field of work they are involved in. Here are just a few of the responses we received that most felt would be ideal.
No set sales territories - Work as much or as little as you want to - Be your own boss - Check into headquarters only when and if you want to - Schedule your work around your life, not your life around your work - Be in with a growing company that has been in business for over ten years - Get involved with a fun product or service that not everyone has already heard about - No mandatory meetings or lengthy presentations to memorize - No quotas to meet each month to receive a higher commission rate - No paper work except cashing the commission check.
We have created a position with PHOTOSTIX® that we feel meets all of the requirements to be the "ideal sales job of the century" and one I feel you may be very interested in. Most importantly, it is a position that meets all the criteria mentioned above. What Is It ?
As you are already aware, The PHOTOSTIX® Corporation is the exclusive manufacturers of PHOTOSTIX® postcard backs. PHOTOSTIX® simply peel & stick to the backs of your own photographs to create your own instant postcards. The first question our order department asks when a customer calls in to order, is how they heard about PHOTOSTIX®, then here is what happens .
A customer contacts The PHOTOSTIX® Corp. and mentions that they heard about PHOTOSTIX® from (your name) and would like to place an order. Their order is shipped out usually that same day directly to the address they give us. We handle the shipping and the collection of the full payment. Your customer will receive their order within three to seven days and will be placed in YOUR Active Client List. You will receive a generous 15% commission on their first initial order and a 10% commission on each reorder that person or business places for a period of one year from their last reorder. Most stores reorder every one to three months which gives you an unlimited income potential. If you would like to take advantage of this offer, simply complete and return the below independent contractors agreement. I assure you great success!
This is truly a hassle free way to generate a very substantial second income. When a friend or loved one receives a PHOTOSTIX® postcard in the mail, one can't help but to smile. We hope you choose to help spread smiles all through out the world and build a future with PHOTOSTIX®.
Jerry Chiappetta, Jr., President / CEOQuestion: Will I receive commissions on my customers that "mail in" orders ?
Answer: Yes, however the order must be mailed into The PHOTOSTIX® Corp.. Attn: (Your Name)
Question: Will I only receive my commissions for one year on each customer?
Answer: No. As long as your customer places at least one reorder within a twelve month period. Most of the gift stores, one hour photos, pack & ship locations, hotel/motel gift shops etc, . reorder every one to three months. To obtain a steady unlimited second income, we suggest gearing your sales efforts towards distributor store outlets as well as retail customers. Here is the best part...The suggested "Retail" price is $6.00 (per booklet of ten postcard backs) and most tourist locations average $7.00 per booklet. Even if your customers order only sixty packs to give our product a shot in their store-s, they will still make over a 100% profit selling at the suggested retail price! Another major selling point to bring up to your store prospects is our very popular Find a Local Distributor page located at http://www.photostix.com/localstore.html We receive hundreds of inquires each month for people looking for a local distributor and we refer these folks to the nearest location that offers our PHOTOSTIX® product. This generates a brand new customer for that store that may have never shopped at that particular store otherwise. In my opinion, our Find a Local PHOTOSTIX® Distributor page is as beneficial to the store as our PHOTOSTIX® product.
Question: Will The PHOTOSTIX® Corp.. provide me with the help I need to succeed?
Answer: Yes. All of your questions, comments and suggestions can be answered by calling 239-430-2628. You can also email or fax your requests in twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. You can also meet with a sales manager in a chat room or on our AOL Instant Message Center. Our AOL chat only screen name is: YachtsR4U2. We are here for you!
Question: Can I sell PHOTOSTIX® at a photo trade show or flea market or advertise in a local paper / magazine?
Answer: Yes. As long as any printed advertisements are "first approved in writing by The PHOTOSTIX® Corporation". This information must be faxed or mailed to PHOTOSTIX® prior to the printing of any advertisement. You may continue to purchase PHOTOSTIX® booklets at any time at $2.50 per booklet (your representative purchase price) when making direct sales/deliveries.
Question: Who would be a good PHOTOSTIX® prospect?
Answer: Gift Stores, Card Stores, Photo Labs, Pack & Ship Centers, Tourist Information Centers, Friends & Family, Anyone that has a 35mm camera. Any business that would like to advertise a product or service in full color without having to spend a fortune in set up and printing costs is a good prospect as well. Remember, PHOTOSTIX® are Excellent for Vacation Postcards, Holiday Greetings, Birthdays, Wedding Thank You Cards, Graduations, Birth Announcements, Advertising Real Estate, School Fund-Raisers, Amazing your Friends and more! So, use your imagination and find that market or markets that will work best for you in your area. Of course, it would be nice to land just one giant store as your account, but there is safety in numbers, the same reason fish travel in schools. So my suggestion is to set up as many store locations as possible from time to time, go after a giant account. The large accounts are nice, but don't guarantee your steady monthly income. I personally would rather have a large number of accounts so if one folds or can no longer order our product, my income would not change that much and could be easily replaced.
