OK, recently I started back in the cellular biz and have been doing good for myself, but this past week, my manager (that really should be ME...) and I had some disagreements on how things in the store should be run, and how my sales style was meshing into the fabric of the company. I work for a small local agency which represents a major cell company. Hey, I ran a company owned cellular kiosk SUCCESSFULLY all by MYSELF for about four years. I always made my monthly goals. Hell, I even won quarterly bonuses and awards for outstanding sales and service. Basically, I was just doing my job, and doing it damn good at that. Never set out to win these awards, but obviously I qualified for them and gladly accepted them. So why all the fuss? Is he threatened by my sales skills? Do I outdo him on my customer satisfaction skills? I am not sure, but as of today, my decision is I am moving on. I owe it to myself and I need to get back to my original cell company. I made a mistake a couple of years ago by moving on from that company. Fact is, it was one of the best companies I have worked for, so now I have to find a way to get back in somehow. Do I drive to corporate offices in Chicago or regional offices in Milwaukee or Madison? I will if I have to. That, and I am considering going back and getting an IT degree and work as a freelance IT specialist. Hey, I'm independent in so many ways. I really hate being under the microscope each day. Just let me do my thing and I WILL get it done. My goal has always been to be in business for myself, and it is about to happen. There comes a time when you need to make that decision and move on. So that decision has been made and you know, with a little faith, things will fall into place.
That I am sure. Even in this economy.
