A few months ago I was being interviewed by Vince Kelvin for a short segment for the 2010 PUA World Summit.

One of the other guys on the call was James Marshall. http://thenaturallifestyles.com When James started speaking I was not only really impressed by his content but the energy he conveyed with his voice made me listen even more closely.

So I decided to interview him so I could spread the wealth to my awesome readers and subscribers!

On this podcast James and I discuss some really important topics that aren’t talked about nearly as much as they should in the dating and seduction community.

Topics include:

Continuation from I Love Discounts Part 1…

I was searching for good pictures for “discounts” and all I could find was the picture here labeled “hot chicks with a d-bag.”  Same difference!

Tip #3 – Always Deal w/ The Opposite Sex: I posted about how I used my flirting skills to get a discount for EZ Lube, so although this is pretty obvious, it’s a little easier to use your sex appeal to tilt the odds in your favor.  Let’s say you want to return something at Target and your not sure if they are gonna buy into your b.s. story about the product being no good.  Having that chance of sexy-time on your team is a good balloon.  If you’re confused, good, I wanted to make sure you were paying attention and not reading this article while watching TV.  Anyways…  if you’re a guy, always try to interact with a female sales person, customer service rep, server, you name it, your chance of discounts increases dramatically.

Tip #4 - “What Can I Do For You?” This is the greatest question you could add to your arsenal.  Imagine working at Walgreens for 8 hours and dealing with annoying customers all night when unexpectedly a customer asks you “Is there anything I can do for you?” after you ring him up.  That will def. get your attention right?  Be willing to offer other people your listening.  In other words, just listen to people and give them the time of day instead of not caring like everyone else.  People LOVE when others listen to them, in fact, it is one of the greatest gifts you can give someone, so start giving!  You will get the love back in spades and cash.

Tip #5 – Steal: That’s right, the best discount of them all is the “five finger discount!”  If you can get away with it, who’se better then you right?  WRONG!!!  The law of attraction will turn around and bite you in the ass, karma is a bitch so this last tip is not really a tip, its more like a message from Robbie Kramer saying – don’t steal stuff, it’s lame!

I arrived at my grandparent’s Country Club around 4pm this afternoon with my uncle.  I greeted the golf pro and asked him if it was cool if we jumped out to play 9 holes.  He said, ya go for it so I got my 4th free round of golf in 4 days.  To give you a frame of reference, the typical price for a round of golf at this course is $60, so I’ve saved over $200 in the last 4 days.  Pretty sweet, especially for a cheap jew like me!  I’m bragging because I want to help you get awesome deals and save lots of money.  Here are some awesome tips, please use them and send me 10% of whatever you save!

Tip #1: Just Ask: The best way to get discounts and free stuff is sooo simple, yet hardly anyone does it!  You would be shocked at the discounts and savings you can get by just asking for what you want.  I was at EZ Lube the other day with my dog, Wiley.  I was hanging in the waiting room while Wiley was sniffing around and scratching himself and I noticed the young looking grease monkey chick checking me and my dog out.  She was smiling so I knew that a discount was a brewing!  I got an oil change and some new wiper blades and the total came to $117.  I said “117 dollars, damn I promised my dog we would only pay $100.” “Ok, just give me $100,” she said.  SWEET!  I saw her go into the computer and type in “managers discount” -$17.  How easy was that!

Tip #2: Makes Friends: Let’s say I’m a country club golf pro who spends the majority of my time listening to old crotchety rich people bitch and moan: the rough is too long, the greens are too fast, what’s with the sand trap on 15?  It’s a REALLY tough job, trust me, I used to be a member at a country club and I know.  Old people can be really nasty sometimes, but I digress.  One of the perks of working as a pro at a country club is that you get to play free golf, typically in the afternoons when the seniors are out for the early bird specials.  If I’m a golf pro, the last thing I want to do is play golf with the members so it’s always fun to drink a few beers, gamble and play a few holes with your buddies or peers.  That is where a guy like me comes in.  I always make friends with golf pros.  I head over to the club in the afternoon and play golf for nothing because they enjoy the company and who doesn’t wanna give a deal to their friends?  So even when I show up with my uncle with no intention of playing with them, they still let me off for free.  I know people who go to the same establishments week in and week out, yet they never bother to make friends with the help, BIG MISTAKE.  These people are usually bored, dislike their job and your presence can really add some excitement and fun to their day.  Think of all the times you’ve been stuck at a job and then your friend walks in or calls you on the phone, instant fun!  You can do this at restaurants, bars, etc…  If you go the same bar often and you don’t know the bartenders and you aren’t getting free drinks, you are really missing out on the perks!

More to come on this subject…

Let’s face it guys, if you’re struggling with women then I would be willing to bet my 89 Ford Pinto that you are also getting pushed around in your job.  If you haven’t seen the movie ‘Office Space’ then you need to rent it because Peter is the perfect example of a concept that is going to change your life.  Maybe you get pushed around and have to come in on Saturdays or the boss is always giving you extra assignments but you think, “Its ok, I’m just being a good employee.”  Maybe you’ve noticed that you are getting paid the same amount as some other schlub who does way less then you.  Well, if you are then it could be more serious then you realize…

But if you are waiting for life to happen rather then making things happen, you’re gonna be waiting for a longgggggg time.  You may not realize how easy it is to get a raise, promotion or even start you own company so I’m gonna do my best to show you whats in your way.  It’s a word you may have heard before and it probably has some sort of negative or heavy feeling in your mind…
