Employed again

December 19th, 2006

Man that was a long month.

I just received a call from the president of Networx, Inc. and they want me to come in tomorrow to discuss the benjamins. I am really excited. For two reasons actually.

  1. First off, I have no experience in selling the networking products that they provide. But I still got hired
  2. This is a new arena of sales and product, and seems really cool.

So, I am extremely happy to be employed, but now have to get used to getting up on time and all that.

 

***an update***

The benjamins are pretty sweet, yea me. The commission is also good, however it may be a quarterly payout. That’ll suck until my first check.

So far, I know that I will mostly be selling imaging products by HP. Networx just received a letter from HP making us a distributor. SWEET! So those of you that know, know I will be hitting up the local lab, LOL! Holman’s watch out, I’m taking your business!

On Friday the 20th, I go back in to do paperwork and get it out of the way. Then I start on Jan 2nd.

In talking with my father and sharing the good news with him, he asked what I would be selling. I told him and he asked me “What do you know about this type of product?” I said, “Nothing”. Then I shared part of the interview with him that went as follows….

Pres of company, “So… Todd… What do you know about selling networking and imaging equipment?”

Todd, “A whole bunch…. of nothing”

Pres if company, “I see…”

So, I tell them I know nothing about the product and I get hired. Hmmmmm, makes me wonder about the others they interviewed.

    YEAH YEAH YEAH!! :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

    This is awesome news! Networking equipment is a great arena to be in sales, largely because it touches every facet of the technology industry. Not only are you dealing with basic connectivity equipment (routers, hubs, etc…), but you can theoretically start getting into other communication devices like switches, backplanes, etc… that are affiliated with high performance computing. I’m curious to know what type of networking equipment you’ll be selling.
