Sup /g/ I have an "issue". I just got hired at best buy for the holiday season. That isn't the issue, the issue is I applied for the PC/Tablet/etc.. Section and I got hired in the Speaker section. Now I barely know anything about Speaker Systems/Receivers/Soundbars/etc... I am doing some research, but blogs are confusing and boxing day is coming up fast. Could you possibly school me on Surround sound/receivers/soundbars/etc...? Very appreciated.

Nigga, that's what the e-learnings are for. I'm assuming you have those like we do in burgerland. I am also going to assume you'll have co-workers that are not assholes and will teach you some shit about the stuff you're supposed to sell.
What don't you know about them? You probably know enough to satisfy Best Buy as entry level personell. I would think they understand you would learn while on the job. Just guessing though. I only have very limited pleb knowledge of audio setups but I would think I could easily catch on.
Soundbars are single cheap decent solutions to entertainment centers.
Surround sound is multiple speakers in a room 5.1 for example five speakers and a subwoofer.
Receivers as far as I know connect speakers to other devices and are usually more expensive but higher quality shit.

What fucking store has a staffed speaker section?
Unless you're talking about MP3/Connected home

This position is just for the holidays

I know the basics, i just don't know much difference between speaker strengths/wattage. I could just be over thinking this whole thing, my boss just made them sound confusing (started 3 days ago)

Don't worry. No one at best buy knows anything useful.
It's all about confidence my nigga. That, and making vague statements that would apply to most speakers, but in a confident voice.
Get used to making vague statements, and from there you can just start reading from the box as if you've done it a ton of times before, pointing to the little bullet points as if you're doing it for the customer

Audio is the easiest shit to sell.
>find out budget
>find out aesthetic preference
>let them listen to the shit stuff first
>let them listen to the better stuff second
>upsell is easy thanks to cheap shit being cheap shit
>spend commission on hookers and blow

youre only seasonal, idiot. No one in the store is going to give a shit about you. You are basically everyones monkey boy, doing monkey boy tasks, no one expects you to sell anything.

If only best buy was on commission, cunts took it away when they converted the futureshops

Well, depends on the store. Some actually try to hire knowledgeable and experienced staff, while others shoot for blank slates that they can mold into mindless bots that toe the corporate line and try to sell the most expensive shit with extended warranties and accessories.
The speaker wattage as i remember is: the maximum wattage that supports the speaker without risk of being damaged.

Best buy doesn't pay commission.

Probably did that to make himself sound smart.
>>51976326
Uh, yes, that's what I was
>implying
My mother wants a pair of white active speakers for around $200. Connectivity with apple shit is a plus.
Any ideas?

The most expensive sonos system of course.
