A spiff or spiv is an immediate bonus for a sale. Typically, "spiffs" are paid, either by a manufacturer or employer, directly to a salesperson for selling a specific product.
Και μερικά πικάντικα:
An early reference to a spiff can be found in a slang dictionary of 1859; "The percentage allowed by drapers to their young men when they effect sale of old fashioned or undesirable stock." An article in the Pall Mall Gazette of 1890 on the practices in London shops uses the term:
... a "spiff" system is usually adopted, spiffs being premiums placed on certain articles, not of the last fashion, indicated by a marvellous hieroglyphic put on the price ticket. These marks are well known by the assistant, and the almost invisible mystic sign explains why an article, wholly unsuitable, is foisted on the jaded customer as "just the thing."
Επειδή το κείμενό μου είναι εξειδικευμένο και δεν βρίσκω κάποια παγιωμένη απόδοση, σκέφτομαι πολύ σοβαρά να το αφήσω αμετάφραστο. Εκτός κι αν έχετε κάποια καλύτερη ιδέα!
