Back in the early 80s my boss purchased a Travelhost franchise for the Cincinnati market. As part of the purchase we both flew to Las Vegas for a week of training. Part of the week of training involved a class in sales and how to close the deal.

We watched what would now be considered a less than PC video about the 7 types of closes. A man attends a training seminar and then comes home and shares what he learns with his gorgeous girl friend. As he talks about each close type, she attempts to use that same close technique to move the conversation to the bedroom.

Once again a gorgeous girl comes into play to teach us a lesson in business. The guys at Retired at 21 share their humorous lessons in the different types of promotions.

Here is an amusing guide to show you the different types of promotion.

You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous woman. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says,"He's fantastic in bed,"

That's (Advertising)

You see a gorgeous woman at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day you call and say, "Hi, I'm fantastic in bed,"

(That's telemarketing)

You're at a party and see a gorgeous woman. You get up and straighten your tie. You walk up to her and pour her a drink and then say, "By the way, I'm fantastic in bed,"

That's (Public Relations):

Visit Retired at 21 for the rest of the lesson.
