Apologies, gotta tell someone-
I’ve been trying this new sales position, it’s been a wild ride and I thought i was done on Sunday. I squeaked by the trial period, but haven’t done shit since. I really applied myself last week, nada, that’s what was disheartening- giving it my all (for once in life) and seeing nothing for it.
Then yesterday I get an email, super solid new account. Then a text, an account that’d disappeared and now wants to move forwards. Then a call, scheduled to make an account next Monday.
Oh, and I have my first install tomorrow. It’s.. good money. If I do 10 of these installs in a year I will be very comfy.
Dunno if I have a point, but just- I was at a real low, now suddenly it’s a high. I was eyeing the “now hiring” signs on mail trucks, and that’s still there and is absolutely an honorable route, but now things are rolling with what I got. I sell around my install, I build a network. I become business bro, the dude I always mock, and still mock, but ethical wolf of Wall Street sort of shit is kinda fun, honestly. The actual jobs are very dissimilar, and Jordan Belfort actually sucks, but the bro-y sales vibe is very much a thing. Screw it, “let’s goo!” and whatnot, I was already a 30+ year old man-child anyways.
Weird world, hope y’all are well and that if it’s dark it gets brighter for ya soon!
