Hi All,

Im not sure how to ask for this type of help, but here goes......

Im in the IT industry, as alot of you are, however i made the move away from my comfort zone in the Riverland to Adelaide about 5 months ago, i also moved from Service to sales (yes i know stupid me), i was so bored with service type work after doing it for 10+years and wanted a challenge... well it is a challenge. I have been doing ok up until about 2 months ago and everything dried up, i cant seem to nail sales or meetings......

The company (ASI Solutions) i work for is a national company and we do quite a lot, from Manufacture of PC, Notebooks, Servers etc, plus have 24/7 help desk, and a swag of service engineers. if you want to see.... www.asi.com.au (website is a little lame IMO, but you get the idea) So the product and services is no problem. We also offer Free Audits for wireless, green (eco friendly), print and infrastructure... completely free, just to prove we know what we are talking about. We are aligned with all the tier 1 suppliers at the highest level, like HP, Lenovo, IBM, Acer, Promethean, 3Com etc. In Australia we look after all the JB Hi-Fi stores, Reject shops, Bakers Delight, Greater Union Cinemas, Dominos Pizza and the list goes on....

My problem is that Adelaide is a clicky place and people like to hear that someone referred us to see them, as im not from Adelaide i dont have those links, so im asking the great Skylines Australia SA community for help, im willing to compensate with your favourite drink or something similar in exchange for names and details of potential leads. So if you know of someone or company that needs help with any product or services (big or small) please email me. (dont forget all your details including nic on here so i can send you a thankyou) It could be where you work, friends telling you how the computers at their work are slow, or even if you need something.... let me know who you are and ill get you prices (SAU discount is good :D ill make sure of that! alot cheaper than Harvey Norman or Officeworks)

Before everyone says, get another job... i quite like it, nothing like working for a national company, and they are a great crowd..... Just the Adelaide Clickiness is the problem. I have also tried cold calling (4 weeks straight) and the hit rate isnt good... Promotions and marketing are a bit of a waste..... So i need the help, you are all one of the last resorts.... i had to sell the Skyline to move up here and i want to get back into one... so i need to beat this...... Help me Please.

Thanks Everyone, I wont forget those who help me

I can't refer you to anyone or anything. All i can say is hang in there. Once you get used to it, it's a really good job.

When i first got into sales, i hated having to call people, and try and convince them they need something.

Now i have no problem what so ever. Now i will even tell them what they need and how many.

And with cold calls i look at it this way. You call them and they say they don't need anything, o ryou don't call them and never find out.

Also presistence is the key. You may get rejected by the same person once a fortnight for 3 months. Eventually they are going to think "this guy calls me every fortnight no mater what, i'll give him a try"

no leads, sorry

keep at it

and stuff the cold calls, most annoying thing ever. if someone wants to buy something they will look for it. for someone to call me and say you need XYZ, get rooted, that pisses me off no end. and to ring a number of times like kralster has mentioned, man, Id be after your nuts.

Yeah but i'm not trying to sell you a new optus phone plan.

It's actually something that you need. I doubt Mr Sniper is ringing up Ford dealerships trying to sell them Holden seat covers or something.

And it's not a retail thing either. It's business propositions.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
