Question ID: 399577
I am a new struggling sales person in Los Angeles, I sell office
supplies for my uncle's business "Systematic Office Supply and
Printing"  They are a 6 million dollar a year company with 35
employees.  They have been around for 7o something years.  We are
basically in competition with Staples and Office Depot. We have
catalogs and an online catalog/ordering thing at
www.systematicofficesupply.com
I have recently been given all of the new internet accounts, because I
am 20 yrs old and all of the other salesmen are like 45 to 70 years
old with 30+years of experience.  I am on the brink of being fired
because I hate going out and knocking on doors and getting kicked out
of buildings for soliciting.  Making cold calls is the most horrible
thing also.  I am fairly computer and internet Savvy being 20 yrs old
and always having a computer.  I am also very ambitious.

I have already figured out the whole adsense thing from google. and
that sparked a new thought in my head.  I could just generate a ton of
traffic to our website and people will just buy stuff on their own. 
Staples and Office depot do it.   We only have one "stranger" order
and open a new account online per month.  I want to turn that into
like 30 a day.  And become the champion of the company (and the
world).
They hired me to increase the sales and they have the capabilities to
grow 3 times the size they are now.  And I want to cause a huge influx
of orders and make them hire more and more people to work in the
wharehouse.  We are competitive with our prices but we pride ourselves
on our service.

Aside from the obvious e-mail spam and pop-ups, google adsense and
craigslist.  Can you put together a weekend crash course/to-do list
for this weekend.  I want to go to work on Monday and have the boss
take me to lunch.
I have a budget of $100 give or take to make this happen.

Hello hamanaka-ga,

You've posed an interesting and complex question but I don't think you
have much of a chance of getting an answer because of the price you've
posted. I suggest that you review the Google Answers pricing
guidelines and make the necessary adjustment so that someone will give
you priority consideration for completing your research on your short
deadline.

I'm not sure what you meant by "I have a budget of $100 give or take
to make this happen" but my guess is that many researchers will not
even open your question and even if they do, they will not notice this
remark at the end of it.

Good luck.

If you have "already figured out the whole adsense thing from google",
how much more do you need to know? If this were truly the case I
imagine you would be pretty close to achieving your goals.
