My first foray into professional sales was when I was 17 when I was hired to sell shirts outside Fenway. While that job was its challenge, the monotonous nature of daily, repetitive, and unsuccessful phone calls was not. As a sales manager, part of your job is to keep your team feeling...
Well, it’s 9pm, the kitchen at the hotel is winding down, and it’s unlikely that a Boston Cream Pie, which isn’t even on the menu (never mind the prospects of having all the ingredients in stock), is something the kitchen can whip up at the standards of a five-star award-winni...
The Indianapolis 500 is the biggest single-day sporting event on the planet, and it’s living up to that once again with the Greatest Spectacle in Racing’s first full grandstand sellout in nearly a decade. On Tuesday, IndyCar announced that all reserved seating tickets — meaning those in ...
The trades extracted value from the farm system while at the same time opening doors for other players. ▪ The Sox announced a crowd of 36,592 for Tuesday’s game against the Mariners. It was the fifth sellout of the season. The first was Opening Day and the other three were games ...
I have to get the mower and weedwacker going today. I bought a brand new weedwacker months ago. My mower is I think 2 years old, but I use the hell out of it so I'll be happy if I can get it to hold up for all of this mowing season. I do not treat my mower well at al...
I guess the guy selling parking outside the venue or the guy selling peanuts is a scalper too? We are ALL scalpers.. and I can assure you we don't go to work for free and nor should a person who works to acquire good seats and sell them should. So anyone who has a problem with...
The simplest concept is probably the best: Each team gets 81 scheduled home games a year, as they do now. But they are permitted to sell hosting privileges, for whatever price they can squeeze out of their opponents, up to -- let's say -- two weeks before the game is scheduled to ...
The kitchen does not look that big, and the floor looks... bold. Maybe it is a nice floor, but the photos definitely don't sell me on it. $1050 is STEEP for a 2BR, and I don't see any clear indication this is a high-end apartment. What a bunch of crap!
The place is too small for football. City officials say it would draw comparisons with Boston’s Fenway Park and Chicago’s Wrigley Field. “It’s a departure from the super-stadiums of today and a return to the small ball park (that is) built right into the fabric of the city,” San...
Foucault considers heterotopies as spaces which create some kind of illusion. A good example is a brothel. Brothels allow interior fantasies to play out but these are separate from the domestic space. The space of compensationis also a kind of heterotopia. These places exist to counter our rea...
