W: Hello, we haven’t met for a long time. Are you busy?
M: Actually yes. Much busier than my first job.
W: You have changed your job? Why don’t we talk about your first job?
M: You mean my official full-time first job?
W: Yeah, sure. How about that?
M: OK. That was right after I graduated from university. I became a salesman.
W: Ooh, salesman! Nice.
M: Yep, salesman.
W: What were you selling?
M: I was selling nothing.
W: Nothing?
M: Nothing. Well, basically I was selling membership. So, it’s not something people can see or visualize, but it’s just membership.
W: Was it like membership to a country club?
M: Yeah, actually a private resort and golf club.
W: Nice. Was this in Japan or in the U. S. ?
M: In Japan.
W: Wow. What was the best thing about your job?
M: Troubles! Because I had to knock on people’s houses.
W: Oh, wow, it was door to door.
M: Exactly, without any appointments and the membership cost 5 million yen—the starting cost.
W: 5 million yen to start and you must have been in very rich neighborhoods.
M: No, actually we just went to any areas. We just stopped off at a station and we started from there.
W: Really? Were you successful?
M: It’s a long story but to be honest with you, how many membership cards do you think I sold in a year?
W: Wow, I don’t know. I will take a guess. In one year, maybe one or two a week. So my guess is, I don’t know, a hundred.
M: One!
W: One?
M: Can you believe it?
W: So you must...so you remember the lucky person? Probably you still remember that person.
M: And you know what, the person who bought my membership is my father.
W: Ooh, that was a tough job.
M: It was tough, really. It was really tough.
W: There was a lot of rejection, every day. No, no, no.
M: I know. I mean if you think about it, that’s natural though. I mean 5 million yen. And I couldn’t really show the place, because I couldn’t take the person to the place. All I could do was to show the picture and speak, and that was right after the bubble economy burst, so nobody really had money.
W: Wow, man, so were you depressed? Were you sad?
M: It was very interesting. It was hard to motivate myself. The people would call the police, and call me like a robber, because I had to open the gate and run to the door and stick my leg so that they wouldn’t shut the door.
W: Seriously?
M: Yeah, that was how you did it. Door to door sells.
W: Wow, that was a tough job.
M: Yeah. Thanks for listening to me so much!
