My first sales job.
It was a great experience I must say, fun people working around me, people helping each other out, lots of nights out and I got my life motivation sky high again - lost some 15kg since Xmas and got proper social life with sports and going out again :O
Just the results lacked especially in terms of numbers - I got good at selling finally in the last month, got a contract in last week, solid processes but never really got hang of the admin side of things (which there was surprisingly a high amount of I must say), and it was making me nervous when I was actually selling.
But I feel like I have a great foundation to build on and will defo keep rock&rolling, I built a sick work ethic at some 11hr/day, (I feel it's sustainable, never missed floorball, 3x+ gym per week and going out with friends weekly. . . Apart from the couple weeks around the girlfriend fiasco that you can read about on my teamliquid blog) learned a ton about the sales process and know what to expect now.
I got an interview tomorrow with some slightly shady outsourced sales hustlers (The "MD" is Romanian, and doesn't even have linkedin profile lol), I don't give a fuck as long as I keep the momentum going - I drank my first coffee last week in ages and don't plan on stopping. Besides, they will let me do things my way.
That's why I chose sales - it's so easy to get a job, hard to keep it when you hit a bad streak, reminds you of something perhaps?
P.S. Got a cold, so annoying
Also, met a Scottish girl some time ago - made out a bit and hopefully will see her this week :O
She's proper crazy, travelling all over the world, doing bungee, scuba diving, even went to Seychelles on her own once just for the sake of it and is going to work on a dairy farm in New Zealand in October.
You know - lives her life, something I feel I haven't been doing properly, and sales is similar to poker, as it gives you the freedom to do so, there is no excuse.
P.P.S.
There might be some time for poker as well, I had to work weekends too, but my next jobs should have them free - I will put $100 in and build that bitch up again and see where it takes me.

You usually want to keep a job while looking for a new one, especially with the economy these days.
