I've never wanted to be in sales, but I have worked around high powered sales folks and you really need to be confident in yourself to do cold calls. Most of the younger sales generation have looked for ways to try to avoid it and look at it as "old school" kind of, but the sales folks that I know that cut their sales teeth on doing just that, now have all that experience behind them and keep doing it and they are indeed on top for a reason.
Do your ears burn daily as the folks that hired you talk about you in their offices and congratulate themselves for making such a good hire??? LOL !!!!
Obviously you hit the ground running..... just like you said you would do.
Here's your gold star for doing such a fine job.
Lol, lick and stick gold stars huh? Ok, well I prefer commissions, but what the hell, it's just as good huh? 🤣
Yes, I'm sure someone is sitting around celebrating their amazing foresight and judge of character at on-boarding me and will probably receive some sort of bonus because of it. I don't mind, I know what I do is a product of myself and I don't need accolades. I'm ok with some salary + commissions.
And also yes, the younger generation of folk seem to think a few connections on LinkedIn makes for great business success...I say, nope.
ha ha Gold Stars.... like elementary school. Sometimes they go on charts to show someone did good, sometimes on your forehead. It was the ultimate ! I don't think that ever happened in my classes, but it did happen ! It was a hundred years ago ! What can I say? I didn't realize I made that one sentence so big on my comment....LOL !!
Big text for a big gold bloody star comment! 🤣
...because YOU deserve it ! 😆
Lol, I'll take it. (Didn't get any at school.)
