A week's worth of selling magazine subscriptions at GITEX (Gulf International Technology Exhibition) taught me the following (the hard way of course):
- Everyone is a potential customer : Who would've thought that 6th grade girls would be more than willing to fork up 20 bucks for a quarterly subscription to a tech magazine?
- Gimmicks work : Two girls wearing an afro wig and outrageous heart-shaped glasses attract more customers than a pair of ordinary-looking (comparatively) lasses. Fact.
- Know the language : A 50-year old arab man asking you to "Gimme keess" doesn't necessarily means he's trying to get fresh with you. Turns out he just wants a bag.
