If I was a manager in a phone shop, and I had a new guy coming in, I would hire a 'plant' or something. This fake customer would come in, and i'll be like 'You can handle this one, Newbie' and then it'll give them loads of confidence when he gets his first sale.

Do I continue to watch X Factor for the first time in weeks, or do I have a night on FIFA?

You play FIFA, because the X Factor is shite.

True ahly, you helped me get this job in a way

It's weird man, I'm like what if they didn't like me, was I good enough, was I rude and I didn't realise? Now I'm just like I'm a spare part and can't do anything

How about a 15% cut from your salary then?

How about 15% comission if I ever get any

X-Factor. I sold FIFA.

Cam wrote:Did you sell anything, Crump?

No, I wasn't sure if I was expecting too or not really, but it obviously looked so complicated and I was like: "What the hell have I done " I'm sure I'll get used to it but I'm more nervous now because I know what to expect

I bumbled through like 4 top-ups though I found that challenging

Crump, what's the average success rate of selling a phone? I would imagine a customer that is walking intentionally into a phone shop to look for a new phone has a pretty high chance of completing the sale.

I tried to make up the targets board in the staff room and they look not stupidly hard but achieveable depending on your ability I guess. So you shouldn't struggle.

Mine is 50% of what is expected me for my first month, and increases 25% every month of my 3rd month of probation.

I was shadowing today and it's pretty common tbh, I saw like 4-7 contracts been sold, probably 10 SIM cards, loads of top-ups and loads of Pay-as-you-go phones.

I'm dreading it though, it's like my driving lesson. In my second one I felt like a complete dick and just wanted to stop the car and get out.

You can't get through life like that walking away whenever it gets tough though.

You'll know you're accepted when you've been invited to a fake tanning session and given some free hair gell

Not a bad idea, or something like a phone case.

Ever watched Undercover Boss?

Yep, i've watched it a few times

Head honcho of a pizza company is like:

"Mate just go home tonight, it's too busy to do anything, sorry" Sending his CEO home

It's funny when they say stuff like "Head office are useless, we get no support" and the CEOs are like

I've decided Ella Henderson would get the D

I don't like it when people post things like this on Facebook...

Spoiler:

Are they talking about me?

/paranoia

Why would they be taking about you?

It's uncanny the resemblance in the status' I see ahly.

Anybody see Derren Brown last night? I just found out my friend was one of the actors in the pub, didn't recognise him when I watched it though.

And just to think he could have been our President.

Great points.

I feel sorry for him though, he gets so much racial abuse on Twitter.

Where at?

What an absolutely lovely performance by One Direction. Such a lovely song written for them by Ed Sheeran.


One Direction really are fantastic.

I send out mine next week SBSP, need my tutor to give me my personal statement back
