Im surprised the soft sell doesn't work in the corporate sales world. I can't stand the hard sell if Im buying a television or whatever. I just want a normal person, someone down to earth and not some over zealous sales person! |

No one in the corporate world asked me to do anything illegal, however in the insurance business there are some grey areas in which the insurance company can take advantage of the consumer. I will give you a specific example of what happpened to me one day.
A client called in asking if his common law wife of 20 years, who had a rare form of cancer, would still be covered for medical benefits if she lived in another province while recieving treatment. According to the contract to be common law one must be living in the same dwelling for a period of at least 12 months to be considered common-law. In this case though the wife was living with him for 20 years but would now have to live in a different dwelling in order to receive appropriate medical treatment. They still consider themselves common-law...CANADA still considers them common-law, but unfortunately the person (the employee's human resource's head) that made the call here was a stuck up prude and is denying this poor woman coverage because she is not married to the employee. I took this issue to the highest authority I could to get this fixed but had no luck as it is the employer's call. We were denying her coverage and took her off the plan. I was the one that had to break the news to the employee and I simply refused. I advised I would not impart this information to the member because the decision has no honour or integrity.
The same goes with my chat hosting. I never promise something I have no intentions of doing and I completely uphold the sites rules and regulations (even though there are a few I find a little too restrictive). COULD I make more money? Probably, but I have to say that I seem to retain a good 70% of my clients because they know who and what I am and what to expect from a show. Not only that I am so highly respected by my Studio boss that my word is always taken in any dispute between a client and myself (there has only been one of those that I know of in 3 years) and as well with any other chat host or employee of the site.
Wow I am a rambler......lol sorry again. One thing I want to make perfectly clear though is that I do not expect others to hold the same standards that I have. There are many chat hosts I think are great people who's ethics are not as strict as mine and we get along great. The key in this business or ANY business is to make sure you are being true to yourself. Hehe for the 1st time I would say I have to disagree with secret; of course you can compare this business with any other. There are a billion sites out there and no one *has* to work for any of them that make you compromise your integrity. As Ann Lander's always said "No one can take advantage of you unless you let them".

| Sorry I don't mean that some model's work on a site which compromises their integrity, I mean that some model's seem to obey whatever the customer want's even if it's illegal on the site or working unreasonable hours which could affect their health in the long term. I don't know any site that will turn a blind eye if they catch a model disobeying their rules. I've seen on a few occasions model's get caught and their rooms closed forever. |

IMO, the models are doing these things to make more money--not that they like doing it per se, but to make more money than other hosts. The competition can be tough, so some push the envelope and do things so they get the paying customer. Many get away with it and make lots of money.
Another very common thing in the business world.
I have much personal experience in the business world and heard stories and know for a fact about behind the scenes bullshit that goes on in the business world in general that I now am VERY suspicious of people in any business in the world who are making TONS more money than anyone in that same profession; I highly question their ethics, because time and time again it is a result of doing unethical or illegal things to beat the system/make a lot more money. |

Soft selling works, but you can manage to make more money pressuring people. I've seen it happen many times in my past sales life when watching the aggressive salepeople do their work. I don't like doing it, so I made less money. |

One example I can give is a model in semipvt, she was doing a faecal show, most of us free chatter's wondered what she was doing until she zoomed in. It's probably best if I don't explain what she did next but you can probably imagine what she did with her fingers... luckily an admin came and closed the room and I never saw her there again!. Poor girl probably never even got paid for it. I still think companies that bend the rules will get found out eventually, just look at enron!. |
