Part 7

Do you know that large New York firms are replacing their traveling men with women? Why? Because they have discovered that a woman who is willing to work can sell more orders than the average man. It is a rare occurrence to hear of a woman failing to make good selling. We know of girls whose experience was limited to bench work in factories and domestic work, who after taking a course in salesmanship proved winners and are now earning five times their original wages, besides living a life of luxury as compared to their former state.

HOW TO SECURE A FREE COURSE IN SALESMANSHIP

Most everything you learn at school or from books requires a great deal of actual practice before you can become perfect at it. In order to become a successful salesman through a salesmanship course you must put into actual practice what the course teaches you. You must get this actual experience right while you are studying. The author of this work has spent his entire life either selling or directing salesmen and has discovered that most people who have taken a course in salesmanship had a great many practical things to learn before they were successful. A course in salesmanship gives you the basic principles; actual experience teaches you how to apply these principles.

We have prepared a complete course on scientific salesmanship. This course is not complicated or difficult for the average man, woman, or girl to learn. The author has simply written the same instructions in this course that he has used in training salesmen for years. These lessons have made hundreds of people successful salesmen. There has never been a more complete or practical course on this subject ever written. Everything is explained in clear, simple language.

Our course teaches you—

How to develop a pleasing personality.

How to analyze your buyer.

How to acquire confidence in yourself.

How to keep up your courage.

How to cultivate the power of observation, imagination and enthusiasm, to cultivate tact, self-control, ability to talk, good judgment.

How to get a hearing.

How to create interest by your opening remarks.

How to arouse desire.

How to build a sales talk.

How to sell by demonstration.

How to sell by convincing arguments.

How to sell by reasoning.

How to close the sale.

We could cover pages explaining the various branches taught you in this comprehensive course. If you are sincere in your effort to learn salesmanship there is no reason in the world why you should fail. Every principle of general business transactions is explained in detail.

This course in salesmanship which The Social Mentor Publications give you absolutely free, would cost you $50 if you learned it from a correspondence school. We are perfectly willing to teach you how to sell just as we teach all our salesmen how to sell before we send them on the road. We want you to be successful, since your success means our success, and we are willing to give you the benefit of our years of practical selling experience free, if you are willing to prove to us that you are sincere in taking the course, and are energetic and ambitious enough to pull up your end. We want men and women to join our organization who are looking and thinking ahead; who believe they are capable of doing bigger things than their present situations offer. This course is intended for both men and women regardless of age.

The difference between our system of teaching salesmanship and some of the salesmanship schools, is that we are not an assembly of impractical professors who never sold a dollar’s worth of merchandise in their lives and only teach you theory. We are a large business organization, whose business is and always has been selling merchandise. We tell you in plain, understandable English the successful methods we and our salesmen have used in the past and are using to-day. Not theory, but practical experience—common sense.

WHO ARE YOU?

If you are a married woman and have some spare time, we will show you how to earn $25 to $50 per week during your spare hours.

If you are a single girl and will devote all your time to our proposition, we will show you how to earn $100 per week or more.

If you are a man, the same opportunities are offered you.

On the following pages we will outline some of the plans from which you can select. Each one of these plans gives you an opportunity to take our complete course in salesmanship absolutely free, right while you are getting actual selling experience. You earn while you learn!

PLAN NO. 1

If we were to tell you that within one month we can make it possible for you to become Circulation Manager for your local daily newspaper, you would probably doubt us. Nevertheless, we can do this very thing if you will follow our instructions and if you possess ordinary intelligence, plenty of energy and lots of ambition. If you owned a newspaper and some one came to you with a plan that would almost double your subscriptions, wouldn’t you want to employ them?
