The Big Issue Sales Challenge
The Big Issue Sales Challenge was by far the most hands-on session in this year’s GENIUS Week. Ten members of the Dennis ad sales team took to Oxford Street to sell that week’s issue of TBI. Some TBI vendors helped them by giving them insight and advice. “Bryan was really friendly and gave us insight on the different types of people he encounters and the multitude of ways someone can tell you no,” said Jessica Quinney, one of Dennis’s new graduate interns, about her vender.
Even for trained salespeople, selling The Big Issue was difficult. “It was much tougher than selling ad space,” according to Karl Taylor. There was a general consensus among the competitors that the challenge was much more difficult than they had originally anticipated. “I was not prepared for how the general public would react to someone trying to talk to them,” said Tim Deeks. He was shocked at how people reacted to him.
Jessica had a similar experience, amazed at the lengths people would go to in order to avoid her. She has learned a lot from this experience, and intends to change her ways. “Being able to experience it from the seller’s point of view has changed how I’m going to react to street sellers from now on,” she said.
Kim Stone was the overall winner, selling six copies in about two hours. The competitors sold, on average, about two copies each.
“I now have even more admiration for the stamina and resolve of BI vendors,” said Jenny Bryan. She came away from the challenge having sold two magazines, but feeling like she’d put in so much more effort than that.
The competitors all have an even greater respect for TBI vendors now and appreciate how difficult it is to make a living by selling magazines on the street. One of the many valuable lessons learned from the inaugural GENIUS Week.
