Whenever I worked behind the vending stand, I used to challenge my co-workers to sell more nachos than me. The job, obviously, wasn&#8217;t commission-based. There were no prizes or rewards for being the best nacho salesman. I just did it to make my shift more interesting.<br \/>\nMy sales pitch was this:<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><em>\u201cWould you like to add an order of nachos for only $4.75 more?\u201d<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nThis wasn&#8217;t promotional pricing or a sale. This was literally the regular price of an order of nachos.<br \/>\nAll I did was offer them. I didn&#8217;t explain how warm and creamy the cheese was. I didn&#8217;t tell them about how well it would complement the Pepsi that they had ordered. I didn&#8217;t try and convince them it was the perfect movie snack. I literally just offered them an order of nachos at regular price.<br \/>\nTo be fair, I probably offered it with a great deal of enthusiasm &#8211; but that was it. And you know what? People bought nachos from me.<br \/>\nI still remember one time where a customer had already ordered nachos (for $4.75) and I explained to them that for only $4.75 more, they could get a 2nd order. And they did.<br \/>\nUsually during these self-imposed contests, I would sell about 2-6 more orders of nachos in a shift than usual. Others participating put up similar numbers, using the same pitch. The theatre sold more nachos, all because we offered them to every customer.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/PYV3z0FqSIU\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4478 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/etereman.com\/remanu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/RU406.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/etereman.com\/remanu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/RU406.png 600w, https:\/\/etereman.com\/remanu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/RU406-300x170.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe lesson here? <strong>Asking is half the battle<\/strong>. If you don\u2019t ask for the sale, you probably won&#8217;t get it. Although delicious, this doesn&#8217;t only apply to nachos. Whatever the product, offer it every time. If I had skipped one person, it may have been the person who wanted nachos the most &#8211; and just didn&#8217;t know it yet.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s more to sales than just offering, as you no doubt know. However, if you can ask for the sale, you are already halfway there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I was in college, I worked at a movie theatre.
