Power
You have the power to give people a good price on furniture.
Like Ikea's manifesto claims, selling furniture is selling people the home of their dreams. It's making their lives better in every day fashion.
If you're a sales manager or you own the furniture store, you have the power to set the commission structure and authority over the other salesmen.
And you could give your friends and family a good deal on furniture.
Never underestimate the power of a decently priced sofa.
