Milan have to go down as the greatest chokers in European football. Deportivo, Liverpool and tonight, although tonight was nowhere near as bad as the other two.
That's without mentioning there near-implosion against Arsenal last year.

Review todays calls .... and events
Take all of these suggestions as constructive and continued good luck in your new career ...
-- Your " call back " fell through. No problem, forget about it ( record the reason as to why they decide not to purchase )
-- You knocked on lots of doors before and after 5pm. Thats what you do. You are giving information to potential customers ( it is not a hard sell ). Go back over the calls and write a few notes in a diary with a view to canvassing the same estate in say 6 months. Some people will have improved personal financial circumstances and they will remember your " March " call.
-- " The other chap had 1 sale " ... Don't compare yourself to anyone " EVER " ... You were professional in your presentations today and none of your colleagues would have sold to the people you called to.
-- You drove to Portlaoise, back to Mountmellick ... and you followed a lead and " YOU CLOSED A SALE " ... well done.
-- Dont wait for your boss to text looking for results ... TEXT first ( irrespective of number of sales )
-- Dont dare begin at 10am in the morning ... the nature of the business will have you working every evening ( call backs / people finishing work ) and you will burn out. Enjoy a walk, go for a jog ... relax.
-- The work you done today will be rewarded in a few days time when a sale will come relatively easy. ( Its the nature of your career ... put in the calls and the sales will look after themselves )
Have a good nights sleep and GOOD LUCK tomorrow ( and the next day, and next week and next month )

It just doesn't seem like a good equation for contentment to me, given that so much of it will be outside of your control. This is especially the case in what you are doing with Sky. The sales are so low per day that it is equivalent in sample size to getting really annoyed if you lose a single hand in a poker tournament.
You can do as well as you possibly and still get zero sales if the average is 2 per day. You will even have stretches of them. Likewise some other lucksack who couldn't sell drugs in prison will often bink sales due purely to the door that's knocked on.
So whatcha gonna do? Tie your emotions to such tiny fluctuations in probability?
Also, I wonder how much of the variance is accounted for by sales skill? What type of range in results do people get do you know? Are there those who consistently significantly outperform others in sales for the same amount of doors knocked on in the same areas?

Evening folks how's tricks around here, have a bit of time to kill before I've to hit another tournament so will catch up on all the IPB antics.
EPT London been pretty good so far busy busy but picking up bit's & bob's along the way, Neil Stoddart is a fantastic photographer his style/framing is pretty sweet on his photo's if I can get like that in time to come I will be very happy.

You need to pull that apart and see the top thanked script and go from there.

Love how mijfers advice is so similar to Hotspurs more academic advice.

Told myself cop on it was early yet and went for a coffee and went to an estate I knew the other two wouldnt have known about as it was off the beaten track. Knocked every door and fuck all. Sat in the car after very down on myself. Drove to portlaoise to a girl I thought might be interested in the Broadband but she decided against it when I informed her that no it doesnt come through her dish
Then decided I would drive the 6 miles back to mountmellick to call to a chap who moved into a house that someone else told me about , this was 7.45 and I really was starting to panic , didnt help that chanel called and told me she couldnt get the fire going at all and she was out of firelighters and that Mia was playing up ugh!!! Luckily enough the chap was home and signed him up . boss text at 9pm for sales update and I didnt feel to good sending a text with one sale!
Think Ill go at 10 am in the morning.
You're going to get days like today and worse the important thing is not to let it get you down just like you shouldnt be too over the moon on a good day and realise that in the long run it will all even itself out

You silly bitch of a fanboy.
Barca got beat 2-0 by a pretty bad side in terms of CL last 16 then beat them at home but should have been 1-1. Lucky tbh. But we will pretend they are the best ever cause they pass the ball 20 more times than they should.
When a good solid team plays them they are out but the English teams (Chelsea & ManYoo) are out and not up to their best atm. Bayern are that team this year and will do them.
ManYoo would prob choke tbh, no team could do what we did last year as United showed this season.
Wait til Barca meet Bayern. Then I can lol at the fanboys.

Sky in the north/uk will subsidise a phone line installation for Ppl who don't have a landline. I had to pay BT but then got credit in my sky account for the fees. If they do the same in south could be a good angle. Must say the "one bill" for everything was v handy. I only changed to BT cos they had the fibre broadbandLow fee Euro/UK money transfer, 1st transfer free through my referral

Originally posted by Zod View PostDo Sky have the infrastructure to roll out a good Satellite broadband service? If they could they would, and not have to tie themselves into Eircoms crappy limited infrastructure.
I think it is a fibre cable infrastructure they put down though. I remember when NTL first started and they dug up my garden in parts to out the cables down.

There are two fibre to the house providers in Ireland (for varying values of "to the house") UPC and Magnet.
There's only a few small dish network satellite broadband providers in Ireland and from all reports they're pretty terrible.Is that how you crash a wedding? yes it is, Bionic Barry, yes it is.

I need some bbv help, might anyone know where I can find some Dalwhinnie 15 year old single malt, or some Glen Moray also a 12 yo single malt?
I've checked the usual suspects O'Briens and Tesco, I find both on Amazon but the Dalwhinnie seller won't ship to Ireland and Glen Moray seller wants as much for the bottle for shipping.
