'Pink for the ladies'

[belodion]

No, Huawei, it's unacceptable to make pink phones 'for the ladies' | TechRadar

It may indeed be a politically ill-chosen comment, but who cares? The best response from Huawei would be "Oh do shut up."

Yeah in today's world there is someone out there ready to say I am offended. about ten years ago it would have been oh nice

People always forget that being offended is a choice.

Well, it's true. I've sold a lot of rose gold iPhones in the past to the ladies. Fancy way of saying pink. No guys wanted it.

I very much like that Rose Gold and came close to choosing it when buying an SE, but I thought I’d better stay with the classic silver and white, which will never look dated. I wish now that I’d chosen the pink, if only to annoy others, who could now be thinking, ‘Look at that bloke with his pink iPhone’.

I would say some guys did, but certainly in the minority.

Haha. You always had unique thinking.

Actually I had a rose gold iPhone as well...

Not with my customers at least. They even walked out when that's all the colors we had available. I wouldn't blame them. Even trying to convince them to cover it up with a case...didnt work.

^ At that point, I’d have killed them.

Of course it's probably 1 in a hundred or whatever, so pretty rare

I would too, but then I'd lose a potential commission pay if they're died.

Not necessarily... Maybe they have their account set on auto pay.

Lol I don't work there anymore.

Still an interesting tip if you work in sales

 

[Aljean Thein]

Not sure if I wanna go back into sales. It's pretty stressful if you don't make a lot of sales. Pay is really low

Depends on what you are selling and your skills. Some salesmen make a lot of money. But it is difficult for sure.

 

[Aljean Thein]

Yah, sales can make you a lot of money, can even make a really good paying job. my manager is making 7k a month
