Half of all WORKING Americans make $30,000 a year or less. Ponder that.
its a difficult row to hoe....
two married adults working full time minimum wage jobs would do okay...not rich...but okay...
I got whiners in my office complaining about their sales and making excuses for mine.
Their customers are apparently price sensitive, while mine are not. Lucky
Their territories just don’t have the leads, while mine does. Lucky
They have to give their customers whatever they want, while mine are apparently happy I showed up. Lucky
Their territories don’t produce all that many leads, while mine produces the lions share of leads. Lucky
Their prospects are going to make decisions whenever they make decisions. My prospects are just ready. Lucky
Stupid....
Make some calls.
Stop saying yes to everything a prospect wants(desperate)
Decide who you will do business with and who you will not.
Decide when you will take them on as customers(Hint: not every sale needs to be closed today, particularly if you only have “X” amount of resources. Plan your sales)
Know who you are picking up as customers in 30, 60, 60 and 120 days out....
Now, get to work.
Lucks Got Nothing to do With It...
Why didn’t the article point out the following?
As a consequence of the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress making bad trade deals for many decades, job opportunities went overseas.
It’s like we’re being expected to believe that the lawless, welfare-promoting Obama Administration never happened.
Insights welcome.
Remember in November. We need to elect a Trump-supporting Congress.
This report will be SOOO buried by the race pimps.
>>A recent economic study highlighted the shocking fact that essentially nobody in the United States will be poor if he or she merely works full-time at the minimum wage, even if that person has children.
At minimum wage?? How does an adult even reach a stupid conclusion like that? Consensus science?
Poor people problems. Smoking cigarettes; not fixing furnace but using space heaters which runs up the bill; broken pipes from not fixing furnace, huge water bill; not brushing teeth which causes decay, not working.
Work? Ain’t nobody got time fo dat!
In addition to mowing lawns on Saturdays, I worked two full-time minimum wage jobs for a summer. It was ugly, and I got docked five minutes pay each day for being “late” to the second job (no, I was not allowed to work five minutes past shift change). I got a lot out of those jobs beyond the money.
And people on Welfare and WIC and Child Tax Credits even if they dont pay any tax, living in Section 8 Housing, receiving food stamps, energy vouchers, medical vouchers, transportation assistance, free internet, free cell phone service, SSDI and 100 other programs basically are getting more than people just earning minimum wage, so why work.
The lifestyle these leeches enjoy would go down if they lost all their bennies and just lived on minimum wage.
We have subsidizing laziness and irresponsibility for over 50 years now. Never, never ever pay healthy, able-bodied people to be bums. That is all the commie Rats do is buy votes from bums.
You have to wonder how many of them it'll be news to. Some great stuff here, thanks for posting.
From a link in the linked article, the Goodman Study:
The War on Poverty began in 1965. Half a century later, America has spent more than $26 trillion on that effort, four times what we have spent on all the military wars from the American Revolution to the present.
A nice little nugget to tuck away against the time when a liberal friend starts bitching about this heartless society. Any serious student of history, especially social history, knows how fantastically wealthy this society really is. Again from the link-link:
In 2011, more than 95 percent of American households below the poverty line had electricity, running water, flush toilets, a refrigerator, a stove, and a color TV. (A century and a half before, the Rothschilds, Astors, and Vanderbilts had none of those things).
No luxury-besotted potentate of the Ottoman or Persian Empires ever had such things. Throughout history most of the world spent most of its time chasing the next meal, often unsuccessfully. A single bad harvest meant regional starvation. It wasn't all that long ago.
Poverty can also be due to bad luck, i.e., natural disasters, sickness, bad parents, etc. Poverty by theft, confiscation, or monopoly must be at the bottom of the list.
Yes, and the left thinks the solution is to take money from those who are working and give it to those who aren’t. In the leftist “mind,” they seem to actually think that that will decrease poverty.
Those jobs are ENTRY LEVEL unskilled positions. If you're making minimum wage for more than a year or two, you're not trying.
