Team Blunted Assassins finally having time to check in after one random weekend.
First solo sale of the tour had no Bob Marley sales, we almost had no sales at all. Calling in a whopping $40 dollar day. To quote Michelle, "WHAT WHAT WHAT?" Probably the lowest sale of the year, if not BTW history. Special thanks to the Georgian rains for sealing the deal on the most wasted day in the history of BTW.
Any team wishing to top that sale or go lower than you ever gone before; good luck to you.
The only thing that treated us right in Georgia was amazing vegan soul food in Atlanta. The atmosphere was relaxed and everyone kept calling me brother. We took a bunch of pictures with everyone, and left with warm hearts and full bellies.
Team Blunted Assassins meet up with other unnamed team; right now they're "team forgetful pants" in Ashville, NC. We spend the weekend in a cabin 20 minutes outside of Ashville. It included a hot tub and appliances, so we actually got to cook food.
Ashville has a great radical cafe. Team Forgetful Pants spent most of the time drinking and flirting with cute skinny boys (well so did I); to the point that they lost the receipt to the cabin, and we had to fake one using the construction paper, glitter glue, and double sided tape that BTW supplies.
We are not taking a point for being naked in the hot tub, because most of the night was spent nudey butt. I do believe that someone gave me crabs from the cuddle puddle, but I am working on become a fourth level Ranger, so I can use Animal Empathy and ask them to stop burrowing into my flesh.
Last but not least, we did get stopped by Dot this morning. Apparently, if you have long hair, a beard, and wear a skirt when you drive, Tennessee State Troppers will do a full inspection, including cavity search (upon request). It really was quite foolish, especially when he asked me, "When was the last time you had a puff?"
I ate puffin's cereal that morning, but I found that information to be irrelevant.
Well, our second sale is in the morning, and we might actually have sales. Good luck to the teams, and just keep thinking to yourself, "At least its not a forty dollar day."
Sincerely, Team Blunted Assassins
$40 dollar day? wow, you might hold the record for lowest day in sales history -- but i might hold the record for lowest commission in sales history. the one and ONLY time i did winter (aka "spring") tour, i made a whopping $200 in commission! yes, it really was that bad. at least we had a fun time though (obviously this was not during sales, but after and on weekends). somehow i came back, but i'll never sell in the winter ever again! - team wild dick
ReplyDeleteWe quit our jobs about 7 times today. after 4 hours of the lines going out the door, us moving like lightning, and not even even making half our numbers- i kept lifting the phone to call bosslady. but your internet voice in the back of my head spoke to me, "at least it's not a $40 day, at least it's not a $40 day..." and i kept trudging though. By the end of the day we made no money and worked too hard. so thanks, team BA for your words of wisdom and mantras of inspiration.
