Looking for Social Media Employment in the Space Industry: My 2nd Facebook Ad

Yesterday morning I placed another Facebook ad look for employment.  I'm really very interested in working in social media for a company in the space industry.  Unfortunately, I was unable to target people who work at Planetary Resources or Moon Express, but was able to target Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic.

They might not see the original ad on Facebook, but they are bound to see it on their Facebook pages and several other places (assuming someone at each company is monitoring the web for what is being said about them).

Outer space is indeed the final frontier and I want to be part of the industry that helps to make space travel and other space industries a common reality.  There are so many smart and ambitious people working with these space companies and I would love to be able to help tell and spread their stories.

Sir Richard, Charles Simonyi, Eric Anderson, Naveen Jain and Bob Richards - are you out there?  Are your stories being told the way you want them to be?  If you are interested in getting word out about your plans, dreams and space programs, I can help and would love to have a conversation.

Joe Connector Beginning to Test Facebook Ads

In the wee hours of this very fine day, I set up my first Facebook ad - this one looking for employment.  I initially thought I would try it because I kept on getting emails offering me $50 in free Facebook advertising, but - one I signed up, I was told that promotion was no longer valid ...

Still the same, I am starting out with a very small budget and a very targeted audience.  I will be testing various ads in the next couple of weeks and play around with the targets a bit, until I start hitting consistent bull's eyes.

The bottom line is that I hope to have a new gig or consistent employment very, very soon.

So Tired of the Up Sell - Just Respect My Time and I Will Yours

Jeeze - I'm so frickin sick of being upsold every darn time I turn around.  Three damn times today alone.

I went to the doctor this morning to get some paperwork signed.  He wanted me to sell me additional copies of the paperwork for $20.

A little later in the day, I took Hannah Montana Kennedy to Petsmart to get a rabies shot.  They charged me for a complete check up (which was not really complete unless I wanted to pay an additional $330) and two different shots and wanted to charge me a lot more.  They explained to me how lucky I was to be able to save SO MUCH money by subscribing to their wellness plan ...  Sorry, but today was the first day Hannah was ever at the doctor and it will probably be a long time before she goes back.  She is a very happy and healthy doggie!

Just now, Stacia called the Elements Apartments in Bellevue to find out how much two bedroom apartments are - as we are starting our search for new housing that we will need in late August.  They asked her at least 20 questions before they would give her a starting range ($1700 - $3000 a month).

It would be so much easier to do business with people who were straightforward and just answered the questions that I am interested in.  I don't have the time or desire to hear your sales pitch and just because I ask you a question, does not give you the right to attempt to sell me something I don't want or need.

As my friend Jeffrey Gitomer says, "People love to buy, but hate to be sold".

Your thoughts?  I'd especially like to hear from those in sales, particularly if you work for Elements Too Apartments or Petsmart / Banfield Pet Hospital.
