| 内容 | 每个人都会经历人生第一份工作，Roe的工作很奇特，是推销却不是推销实物，听他详细介绍下吧。 Todd: OK, Roe, why don't we talk about your first job. Roe: OK Todd: Yeah, tell us about your first job. Roe: You mean my official full-time first job, talking about! Todd: Yeah, sure. How about that? Roe: OK. That was right after graduating university. I became a salesman. Todd: Oooh, salesman! Nice. Roe: Yep, salesman. Todd: What were you selling? Roe: I was selling nothing. Todd: Nothing Roe: Nothing. Well, basically I was selling a membership. So, that's, it's not something people can see or visualize, but it's like just membership, so. Todd: Was it like a membership to a country club? Roe: Yeah, actually a private resorts and golf clubs. Todd: Nice. Was this in Japan or in the US? Roe: In Japan. Todd: Wow. What was the best thing about your job? Roe: Troubles! Cause I have to knock on people's houses. Todd: Oh, wow, it was door to door Roe: Exactly without any appointments and membership costs 5 million yen. Starting, starting costs. Todd: 5 million yen to start and you must have been in very rich neighborhoods. Roe: No, actually we just go to any areas. We just stop off at a station and we start from there. Todd: Really. Were you successful? Roe: It's a long story but to be honest with you, how many memberships do you think I sold in a year? Todd: Wow, I don't know. I will take a guess. In one year, maybe one, two a week, so my guess is, I don't know, a hundred. Roe: One! Todd: One! One! Roe: Can you believe it! Todd: So you must, so you remember the lucky person? Probably still remember that person Roe: And you know what, the person who bought my membership, is who? My father. Todd: Ooh, that's a tough job. Roe: It was rough, really. It was really rough. Todd: That's a lot of rejection, every day. No, no, no Roe: I know, I mean if you think about it, that's natural though, I mean 5 million yen. and I can't really show the place, cause I can't take the person to the place. all I can do is show the picture and speak and that was right after the bubble economy bursted, so nobody had really, nobody had money, so. Todd: Wow, man so were you depressed? Were you sad? Roe: It was very interesting. It was hard to motivate myself. The people would call the police, and call me like a robber Yeah, yeah, cause I had to like open the gate and run to the door and stick my leg so that they won't shut the door. Todd: Seriously Roe: Yeah, that's how you do it. Door to door sells. Todd: Wow, that's, that's a tough job. I don't think I could do a job, what's your job now? What do you do now? Roe: I am, I work for Yokohama city and I am in a place called Yokohama Convention Bureau. It's a city job. Todd: OK, so the Yokohama Convention Bureau. OK, so you deal with foreigners, naturally cause it's in English. Roe: And travellers and visitors and what have you. Todd: Do you like your job now? Roe: Interesting! Like I said I meet talk to about over 2,000 people a day, so it's kind of tiring though. Todd: Wow, 2,000 people a day. Roe: About 200 people an hour. My office is at the station. Yokohama station. Right out of the gate of the JR, so people are going to stop by. Todd: You, that's a lot of talking. You must be tired of talking. Roe: I am tired. |
