The best sales person in Cambodia

Title – The best sales person in Cambodia
Date – August 2000
Location - Phnom Penh - Cambodia

The best salesmen in the world had nothing on the determination of this young lady in selling her wares to tourists. Her persistence meant that were she to live in a western country, she would be the top sales person in any multinational company.

Hawkers generate different emotions in different people and some people object to having to haggle for every little purchase.

We believe in allowing individuals to make their own decisions as to how they react and how they approach these situations. However we teach individuals to respect people and to ensure that when haggling they have an understanding of the value of the product, as well as the effects your contribution can have on their lives.

Beyond The Blue run Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshops that offers advice on personal safety as well as useful information such as how to deal with hawkers and haggling round the world.
