New Marketer Needs Help?



So I am now employed as a marketing telemarketer person for my company. for a month now, I have been making numerous phone calls, emailing various business in this local mall catalog asking them if they need a website or e-commerce website development. Most answers I get are ” we have someone who does that for us ” or ” no thanks” . So for about a month I only had few potential ( people who were considering ) but no actual takers.

Should I change job or are there any good tips in marketing for my company? My co worker told me that someone got fired because he didnt make any clients in 1 year but she just stated that he was lazy and didnt try.

What should I do?
Yea I should leave but the job market right now is bad, Im lucky to even be in this job though. I might look for a 2nd job soon but not many out there.

Why does MLM network marketing seem to work opposite of how businesses should?



1. You never hear people getting bulk discounts (the bigger the bulk the lower the price), which is the best way to market and sell a product.

You also don’t see drop shipping (where factories do the work as long as a sale is created), rather, you have distributors forced to pay a fixed monthly fee whether they sell or not, putting the burden completely on the marketer, not the manufacturer or consumer, the other necessary components of a trade.

2. Marketers are encouraged to recruit their own competition

3. Marketers push people to buy what they don’t need at a price they normally don’t like, rather than let people beg for the product and compete over pricing it as low as possible

4. Despite what employers tell you, MLM does NOT give you control over your own business, you have no say over pricing (unless going up is considered a say)

5. As mentioned above, traditional production and marketing works when a good product is begged to be sold by consumers, and consumers beg to become a distributor. MLM does just the opposite or how a natural market operates.

6. MLM preys on greed, guilt, and encourages people to hunt their close associates. Traditional businesses understand worst case scenarios, market saturation, supply and demand, voluntary exchange, MLM seems to ignore reality altogether by giving false promises.

7. Does any serious business school teach MLM as a viable business model? Or is there a conspiracy in the mainstream education to stifle alternative theories of economics and those who don’t do MLM are brainwashed into believing that only traditional businesses work?

8. MLM always talks about a hidden secret breakthrough that’ll be the next best thing. Now if this was remotely true, shouldn’t rich people have joined, invested and beat the average Joe? If something is promising, why isn’t it attracting money, rather, it’s attracting ignorant suckers?

How do I get started in email marketing?



I’ve had a few websites for awhile now. I’ve done the yahoo sponsor search, google adwords, and everything else out there. After learning about email marketing I believe I could have my best sucess with this. I’m not trying to sell anything I’m just trying to get people to join my social network website (writers). So what I need to know is how do I get started? Where do I find email lists? What’s that best free program I can use to send bulk emails? I’m not trying to invest any money in this so I need to know free ways to do this (I know about the pay ways). So if anybody knows anything please let me know because I need my website to grow faster.

Would a marketing degree be acceptable in architectural design?



I know this is an odd question BUT…

Can someone who has a marketing or business degree, enter a graduate architectural design program at a university, let’s say, Auburn? Where they could do marketing & design in an architectural firm? Is that even possible? Or would one need to have some other type of degree, if so, what would be more beneficial?

It’s just that the main concern is, if a different degree is needed, then 2 or 3 years of undergraduate courses would be required, I am pretty positive.

Thanks so much!

What kind of positions could I get in a career in Marketing?



Whats the job title, and what I would be doing?
I know there are different areas in which marketing covers, such as: research, analysis, creative department, and so on. I would love for someone to elaborate on these, and more, areas in which marketing covers. What is the income of someone in the creative department. I would love to have some involvement in the creative process/ advertising sector or the production process. I know that people with certain personalities would do better in certain fields in marketing, but is it possible to learn the skills needed to excel in these areas?

Also, what does a “marketing agent” do?

For marketing jobs, is it easy to change the industry you work in?



I am a recent graduate looking for a marketing job. I have an interview for a marketing assistant role at a bank but I don’t want to be working in the financial services industry for my career.

How do kids right out of school with no marketing/advertising experience get decent jobs?



I graduated recently with a degree in marketing and have many years of professional experience in another area but would like to do marketing/advertising.

Now in my experience firms are looking for qualified marketers, etc. But if kids can get hired with no experience, then it seems as though I could too.

But aren’t their resumes blank?
