Get Paid, Get Social Skills
Why sales is an awesome job, and all the ways it will benefit your social life!
By: Boy Toy (Good Looking Loser Authority) from www.boytoystory.com
It's rare that I meet a guy, especially one that's younger than I am, that seems to understand "the game" as well or arguably better than I do. Especially not a teenager. In fact, it's never happened.
Meet Boy Toy.
What's even crazier is this guy (kid) is only 20. He's been with us from the start (he was 19) and possibly has more experience using our material than anyone in the past year. He lives to hit on women (and fuck them, of course). You can basically trust his advice as if it were coming from me. I've spoken to him for hours on end and he has a lot to share with you. I interviewed him and I'll post that soon. I'm honored to have him be part of our community.
In the coming week, I'm going address an obvious issue that seems to be popping up with a few of our main members. They have above-average looks, they have above-average style and certainly have above-average social freedom. On paper, that's the key to getting pussy... and it is... provided you have SOCIAL SKILLS.
I'll address that really soon and it will be an eye opener for some guys. I'm not going to say what you think...
If you think that you lack social skills or even social freedom, follow Boy Toy's advice below and you will almost assuredly improve your social skills. His suggestion may actually better translate into broad real-world success with women than the other "more popular" suggestion- be a bartender.
If you are really looking put yourself out there or just improve your social skills in 2013. This is a damn good place to start.
I used to be the loser.
You know, not the good looking loser, but the nerdy lonely loser with no social skills. I had no friends, no girls, and a lot of problems with my family. I was bullied in school, played computer all day and cried myself to sleep at night. Every time I changed to a new school, I was popular the first couple of weeks, until they got to know me. I even got a friend for a month or two, but that fucked up as well. Worst thing was… I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT THE HELL I WAS DOING WRONG!!! Thing is, I was clueless. I didn’t “get” the social game. I didn’t understand it. I simply had no social skills, and my mom has actually confessed that she was worried if I would ever get a social life at all.
So I decided to try to fix it. And it wasn’t easy. But in the end, I succeeded, and I will never regret the time I spent to get this part of my life figured out.
The social skills I have acquired have been a huge part of my success in the past 2-3 years:
- Being the most popular/famous guy in school.
- Having a great relationship with my family.
- Getting a best friend.
- Performing great in my jobs.
- Sleeping with 1 or 2 new girls a week.
- Retaining long term fuck buddies and open relationships.
If I hadn’t handled this issue, I would still be the loser. Even though I am a tall, good looking guy. You will get nowhere in life without a basic social understanding and the ability to small talk and have conversations with people. Work, family, friends, girls, sports, whatever - there’s people everywhere. Social skills are simply essential in life.
One of the major things that has improved my social skills is being a salesman. I have worked in sales since I turned 17, and I have sold over phone, email, on the street, in stores, at expos, you name it. Besides earning a good amount of money, I have also learned a TON of social skills from it. Actually, I attribute a lot of my success in life, to sales. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND everyone with interest in self improvement / social dynamics / getting laid / getting a social circle / beating AA, to get a sales job.
Let me tell you why.
First of all, being a salesman is a good way to make money. If you do well, you can easily earn 2-3 times as much as in an ordinary job. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
Main point is, you get what you are worth.
If you don’t sell anything – you wont earn anything. Yes, sometimes its hard, and yes, after 10 rejections in a row you sometimes feel hopeless and want to give up. But if you fight and push yourself and keep trying – it pays off. Just like everything else in life.
In most sales jobs, you have to take contact to people.
You either have to call people, stop them on the street or say something to open a conversation with them in a store. In other words, you have to COLD APPROACH. By doing sales, you will get used to opening people. This will highly reduce your AA. Stopping girls on the street is no big deal, if your work is stopping girls on the street from 9-5. Making contact with a stranger is no big deal, if you have done it hundreds of times before.
Do you feel like you don’t know how to socialize or small talk?
Go into sales.
As a salesman, you will learn how to start conversations with people you have never met. You will learn tons of good ways to open and make people stop in their day to listen to you.
But even more important, you will learn the next step: small talk / banter / fluff.
Whether you want to sell something, want to build a social circle or want to fuck someone, you need to small talk. You want to talk to people and build a connection with them. You do this with basic small talk. This can be talking about the weather, talking about something situational, complimenting people, talking about the news, their dog, whatever.
You absolutely NEED to be able to keep a conversation flowing, if you want to sell something.
You absolutely also NEED to be able to keep a conversation flowing, if you want to make friends or have sex.
Sales is basically talking to people. The more you talk to people, the better you get. (Surprise!)
One thing is the verbal dialogue. The other thing is the physical.
Body language, tonality and stuff like that, is a big part of sales as well.
You will learn how to use your own body language to communicate what you want, as well as you will learn how to read other people’s body language. You will also learn the importance of “mirroring” people (adapting to their body language and voice).
Boy Toy says: For instance, if you talk to an old lady that sits on a chair and speaks very slowly and quietly, you DON’T want to: move your body a lot, swing your arms and speak very fast and loud with a lot of swear words. People like you, if you “seem familiar”. Not if you are completely different.
In pick up artist NLP lingo, this is called “rapport” This is very useful, and will benefit your social skills a lot.
Would you ever buy anything from anyone, if you didn’t trust them or didn’t like them? I don’t think so…
That’s why, in sales, you really learn how to build trust/comfort, and how to make people like you.
I don’t think I have to explain, why this is important if you want to get laid / make friends.
You will learn the importance of persistence. You will learn that in sales as well as seduction, you often get some resistance and obstacles, but that many of these can be overcome if you don’t give up and keep persisting.
You will learn how to CLOSE THE DEAL. Whether is closing a sale or getting your dick wet in some hot girl’s pussy, the most important thing is to CLOSE. When you do sales, and you get the window of opportunity, where the customer shows interest, you try to close the sale. There is a very common principle in sales. ABC – Always Be Closing. Because often, in sales or with girls, if you don’t strike while the iron is hot, you might lose it.
So, when you always look for interest and try to close in your job… Do you think that you will be more conscious of opportunities with girls, and that you will ACT and TAKE ADVANTAGE of these opportunities more often? I bet you will!
In sales, you will also get used to making people happy / making their day / giving them a good experience. This is very useful, and is a habit that will affect your social life as well. When you usually smiling, have a good energy and make the customers feel good – you will probably do the same when you are socializing.
The conclusion is very clear.
Whether you have decided to improve yourself, beat approach anxiety, improve your social skills, get more pussy, learn how to make friends or whatever goal you want to accomplish. GO INTO SALES. Seriously. Do it. Most people need a job to make some money anyways. Here is your chance to improve your social skills – and get paid to do it!
I would recommend you to start in telemarketing (working in a call center, where you call people over the phone and sell to them).
This is the easiest and most comfortable way to start and learn the basics of sales.
So, what can you do now?
(Plan for ACTION)
Congratulations on your new job.
I hope that this article has been useful and worth your time. If you have any questions, comments or requests, don’t hesitate to contact me.
Have a wonderful day and make the most of it!

Hey Boy Toy, great post. In my opinion sales training is the best training for pickup, you learn how to generate leads, followup, deal with rejection, play the numbers game, and close, all the same stuff you're doing with women. Starting out young at a call center is a great idea, its how I started out during university, its rough at first making 100 cold calls or more a day but you get used to it. You can hone your craft therefor a few years then move into an inside sales/account manager role at another company and then on to an outside sales role where you get a company car/expense account and only make 5 calls a day and have lots of downtime between meeting clients. If I could do it again though I wouldn't have even gone to university, my advice for young dudes with personality is to skip uni altogether and go straight into sales, by the time your friends get out of school with tons of debt you'll be making $70,000 or more a year with money saved.

This is so true I've always had a sales job since I was 19. It really helps with AA because you are constantly talking to new people. My first sales job was working for T-mobile in the mall I was the guy was trying to sell you a phone in the mall. I remember before i started in sales I was very quiet and couldn't talk to anybody, but after getting rejected by over 100 customers on a daily basis its not a big deal. Trying to talk someone into signing a contract, buying a new tv or a car is the same thing as trying to talk to a chic. Great Post!!!

Great post. If you're a guy who for whatever reason can't or doesn't want to get a job in sales (i.e. already has a good non-sales job) and wants to get some of these benefits I would recommend getting involved in a local political campaign or volunteer to do some fund raising for a charity. I think getting involved in a local political campaign teaches great social skills because you are making cold calls to get out the vote on election day, you are involved with asking people for money, you learn alot about current events and you meet a lot of people this way. It was something I did a few years ago.
By the way Boy Toy your web site looks really cool and the progress you made is incredible. Do you have any posts on it or on GLL about your work out routines (i.e. amount of weight, sets and reps, frequency per week, etc.) you are following now? Thanks.
Thanks man, I'm glad you like it. Yes, it is pretty funny how much sales is just like seduction. And yes I agree, that skipping school and going straight into sales can be a good way to make a career. That's what I did.

Sounds like you have been doing sales for a couple of years as well?
Yeah, good input Rob! Whatever work that involves a kind of "sale" will do. Whether it is seliing a product, selling a service, selling the need for charity or "selling" the political message. Nice to hear your experience backs up my points.

And thanks for the kind words about my site. I am glad you have checked it out, and I appreciate any requests for content. I will write an extensive article about my workout "routine" for you tomorrow!

theres definitely some goodlookinloser style tips i was planning on posting on the forum for random people that happen to be salesmen... ive been doing this business shit pretty hardcore and came a long way. there's a lot of bullshit info out there on this subject too. it really doesn't have to be as roundabout as people like to teach to close "large" deals

Yeah dressing well makes sales a lot easier. It is about making a professional and trustworthy impression. But at the same time, you should calibrate to your customers. If you "sell" worldpeace-organization memberships to normal people on the street, you probably shouldn't dress in suit and tie. Personality matters more in sales than style though. Im looking forward to see your share your experience on the forum...
I tried charity and call center stuff, but I quit not because of eventual anxiety, but because it was so boring.

I tried charity and call center stuff, but I quit not because of eventual anxiety, but because it was so boring.
Do you go salesman mode (persistence) if a girl says she has a boyfriend, I mean, according to what I've read. You seem to convert a lot of "maybe"-girls to lays?
I ALWAYS run out of things to say after going through the basics with a girl, if she is not into the conversation and just answers my "where you from" etc. Should I learn how to entertain them without needing much investment into the convo from their side?
I didn't think the "Get Hung" guide would have girls eyeing my bulge. It did.
I didn't think that your exercise and diet advice would have girls checking me out. It did.
I DEFINITELY didn't think that your hair-loss prevention would fix my hairline. Not in a billion years. It mother fucking did. You saved me a crazy amount of time, a ton of money, unnecessary pain, and destroyed my #1 source of anxiety. DESTROYED IT.
Kratom is next!
To anyone reading this, follow through, read this material, APPLY this material, and enjoy life.
Thanks again Chris, life would suck without you.
