Don’t say on the first day “I’ve never gotten along with copywriters. Never.” True story. Not surprisingly they ended up being the worst partner I’ve ever had.

How did they get hired??

On top of getting to know each other, talk specifically how you two prefer to work before it gets awkward and keep the convo going until you find your groove with each other.

Order a right foot mannequin and give it to them

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.
