Faulkner was in the local office, setting up a sales meeting, when Bob Perrollaz came in, selling 50- cent coupons that would apply on a photo taken at a nearby studio.

Because large volume sales occurred before the war, and a good service record plus consistent advertising kept the name alive during the war, Jim Porter’s job of merchandising “reservations” is not too tough. “I started selling cleaners in August,” says Jim. “I closed 41 preference contracts in the first three weeks. September sales ran up to 79 machines. Since then, I've been good for an average of 25 sales a week. “A pal of mine, Glen Braining, naturally became interested. I brought him around to one of the sales meetings, and he took over a canvassing assignment. I helped teach him.” The selling crew here is directed by L. W. Faulkner, husky and en- thusiastic division manager, 17 years with his company. Faulkner wants visitors to come into one staff meeting each week. This is called a guest meeting, and half or more of those present may be fellows who are feeling out the goes! From Live Roots ‘This expanded sales crew grows from roots that were never al- lowed to die. Many salesmen have a continuous record of employ- ment running from long before the war. From its factory bins and by means of small-job sub-contracts that did not interfere with war production, the spare parts for two million cleaners out in service in homes and offices were kept circu- lating, “Every service call was given prompt attention,” reports Danner Hunt, a company official. “Usually the customer’s cleaner was called for and put in shape within three or four days after we learned of the need for service. “Salesmen who weren't called for military service or work in war plants were able to maintain contacts with customers and main- tained their own earnings, even when they had no cleaners to sell.” Even with the new supply com- ing to market and catching up with the backlog of preferences, the firm’s men still go for repair and renovation business. When a salesman starts down a street that was assigned to him, he may run across several former customers of the house who are still getting are really better at their jobs.” Faulkner agrees with other sales executives in believing that many veterans will make a good living in sales work. For one thing, they did not experience the let-down in sales initiative, during the period when the customer was hunting out merchandise and many sales- men merely wrote down the or- ders. Another factor for veterans' success is physical fitness. The day’s work does not seem to take | 8o much out of the returned serv- iceman, once he has become used to civilian ways following war| service. Companies that could train a man first in manufacturing and| then in selling, as occurred with| the crew of veterans used in the temporary New * York assembly plant, report uncommonly good re- sults. Men with. factory background know what is inside the skin of the product. They give practical service ideas and make minor ad- justments easily. Even when the selling is done from pictures and with “preferences” as the mer- chandise, these men who've had grease on their pinkies seem to do | a better job at the homemnker’ll front door. ey TO Inexpensive Good for One Year I* ANCHORAGE Connecting with more than 100 other points in Alaska served with passengers and express service.
