My Monthly Curse by Phill Hall #16 – And Partner
It’s difficult enough to tell a linear story about Squonk!! mainly because of its own little metaphoric place in how comics, as a whole, work. We’d got to Jack 3, digressed, then to Mammary Lass and I digressed again; and now we’re digressing again before we get back to everything else…
First up of my business partners would be Iain, a double-glazing and stone-cladding salesman from Peterborough and something of a self-made man. He was not rolling in money, but he did have everything he ever wanted, except a comic shop. He slid into my shop one Saturday afternoon shortly after the Head Shop opened upstairs, he wasn’t into that kind of thing, but a mutual acquaintance of ours was. She went off upstairs, while Iain just lurked at the back of the shop looking at my old comics.
Iain told me many months later that he felt unsure about approaching me. He hadn’t seen me as your typical comic shop owner and I positively oozed confidence, which is something shop owners can sometimes struggle with. Although he was a brilliant salesman and normally unafraid of approaching people, he recognised that I was not the easiest person to talk to about business propositions – basically I’m very much a ‘you can’t sell me something unless I want it, so don’t try’ person. So he targeted Monty instead. Iain knew that if he could win Monty over, then he could get at me from two directions. He was clever and I fell for it. Eventually a few weeks later, and enough time for me to have started to notice this little guy in his early 40s, Monty finally broached the subject at the pub the following Friday.
“He wants to buy into the shop.”
“Then why isn’t he talking to me?”
“Because he hasn’t quite figured you out yet.”
“He wants to buy the shop or buy into it?”
“Buy into it; he thinks you’re one of the most sincere and genuine comics sellers he’s ever met.” That was true, I never willingly undersold, but I never sold anything to anyone that I wouldn’t buy, so therefore I persuaded them to buy something else; sometimes more expensive with a longer run so that person has to buy back issues or ongoing new comics, thus boosting my profits – but they always thanked me! It wasn’t that simple, but it was what I normally aimed for – the art of selling comics is to make your customer trust you – this is a marathon relationship, not a short sprint. You, as the retailer, needs repeat custom like MacDonald’s needs fat, msg-addicted, half-wit children with no taste buds.
