I too went through the week of Sky School at ANB Promotions, run mainly by this woman who had a permanent smile and was always far too happy and excited, and kept saying how lucky we were to be there and have this opportunity. She wore the same suit each day and it was clearly Primark or similar, strange considering she spent most of the time talking about the fantastic money to be made.
I went out into the field on the Thursday with a young guy who kept on and on about money and how he would open his own office by April next year. He borrowed a few pounds from me at the petrol station – now I found that hilarious because on the way to the petrol station he had been telling me how he earned £600 two weeks ago and £800 last week. I was chuckling to myself the whole day about that!! He didn’t pay me back either, oh well, it was worth it just for the comedy value.
I think all staff at ANB Promotions and similar companies are told to talk about money and ‘fantastic opportunities’ and nothing else. The office has crazy routines aswell like deafening music being played while you are rehearsing your sales pitch, and shouting and cheering when the manager tells a success story. It was an enjoyable week, very funny, and you do get some good, free sales training, however I would not touch the job itself, it just wasn’t right for me.

Will try and break down that pesky fourth wall and figure out what I’m starring in, somehow don’t think it’s a 70s sex comedy but then again might be wrong.

Gingell and I only started watching season two recently so no spoilers :P (although she’s already seen it so feel free to spam her blog with spoilers).

Bad luck dude. It’s better in the long run to get a job you can stand though, door to door salesman of anything can’t be a lot of fun (except in 70s sex comedies).

and now we’ll never find out if there was a secret basement office where the ‘real’ business was done!
