A new job
Yes that’s right, I have a new job.
I really like working for Networx, but it has been only a little frustrating because my sales are not where they should be. It has been really hard to close on these deals. I’ve submitted about 300 proposals and closed on about 3. That’s just not the record I’m use to. Selling to the military is brutal.
So, a company that didn’t hire me last year, called me the other day and offered me the position again. They stated that they didn’t hire me last time, thinking that the new manager would have a hard time managing me because of my experience. I told them, that would make his job easier because I know what to do.
So I negotiated a good package. A sweet base raise from what I make now and I will be making sales instantly so commissions will roll right in. This is a blessing, because we really need the money with how much T’s formula costs.
I will be selling hardware and components. Board level components, standoff’s and the like.
“They stated that they didn’t hire me last time, thinking that the new manager would have a hard time managing me because of my experience. I told them, that would make his job easier because I know what to do.”
You made a great point by saying this! I’m so happy for you! That’s great news.

Hey- Congrats “big brother”!
Anna has been keeping me updated on the process. It says a lot that they came back and pursued you and I’m glad that it ended up being a better position/salary. But even if it hadn’t, it’s nice to go to bed at night knowing you left a good impression and that employers want to have you on their team.
