For over 35 years, our company has been providing jobs for young people who have grown up in the\u00a0under-served communities of the United States. Such communities are often found in our inner cities\u00a0where schools are subpar, where more kids drop out of high school than graduate, where joblessness is\u00a0a way of life, where young and old hang out on the street corners, and where crime runs rampant.<\/p>\n
We recruit these young people from these miserable neighborhoods because they deserve a break. No\u00a0references or even a high school diploma required. Just a willingness to change their lifestyle and work\u00a0hard.<\/p>\n
Having done this for over three decades we\u2019ve learned a lot about what does and doesn\u2019t work when\u00a0dealing with these young men and women who have not had the benefits of a decent education and a\u00a0healthy, nurturing home life.<\/p>\n
First we concentrate on teaching them how to take care of themselves. Shaving, bathing, dressing\u00a0appropriately (pants pulled all the way up to the waist), showing up on time, and treating their fellow\u00a0trainees and trainers with respect\u2026 all are mandatory requirement in our training program.<\/p>\n
Along with this self-esteem training, we introduce our \u2018Selling is Living\u2019 curriculum. That\u2019s because right\u00a0from childhood, life is selling. Think about it. You pitch your parents to take you to the movies. You\u00a0pitch them to raise your allowance, get a nicer bike, perhaps your first car. You sell your friends on\u00a0where to eat, what movie to see. Husbands and wives sell constantly: who takes the dog for a walk;\u00a0who\u2019s going to get the groceries?<\/p>\n
And of course selling is what our company is really all about. We sell, door to door, all over the nation of\u00a0Advanage Wonder Cleaner. However, we first train our sales people that selling begins with:<\/p>\n
1. Self Confidence<\/p>\n
2. Verbal, listening and physical communications skills (posture, smiling, look-in-the-eye)<\/p>\n
3. Showing up on time, in the right clothing and with the right attitude (enthusiasm)<\/p>\n
Only then should the sales person start discussing the product they are selling.<\/p>\n
