Rough patch at work this week. Just found out that we are closing our Sleep Division (I'm in Medical Sales). I make about 50% of my commission in sleep so I have no idea what I am going to do.
I took my wife to a nice dinner and explained it to her. We are both freaking out. I also drank about 6 Martinis and for about a 5 minute period, I told myself I was going to get a can on the way home. Who cares at this point...right?
I got up, went to the bathroom, got my tools in order and said fuck off Nic Bitch....I may be willing to screw myself right now but not everyone who has helped me. I put my big boy pants on and went home.
Minny and his 1+1= 2 theory kept ringing in my head.
ParadigmDawg-Day 138!
So yesterday I found out that my company is closing it's doors on January 8, I feel just devastated and sick to my stomach.
I got on here to post something and feel sorry for myself and complain. I read the intro updates on "TxTornadoinOK" and realized just how lucky I am. I lost a job, big freaking deal....I will get another one.
The closing of my company was pushed back to the 13th of this month so that helps a little.
Key people are finally back in office after the holidays so I was able to get some interviews set up. I have been on two so far and have two more set up.
One of the ones I interviewed at ended up going in a whole different direction. It was with a similar Medical company, like I am with now and after my interview the manager asked if I could hold on and walked out of the room. Thirty minutes later the owner of the company came in and asked if he could speak with me.
We ran through all the details of who I am again and then he said that he had no interest in hiring me as a Medical Sales Rep.
One thing you never do is tell a top rep in his field, is that he is not wanted so I let him have it. I threw out the number of sells that his reps have in each account I share with them and compared it to my production.
I showed him proof that I was producing the equal to two of his reps and I was starting to get fired up and really go to town. He then said hold on...hold on....I have no doubt that you would be my best rep but I have bigger plans than that.
He then told me of a second company is is opening and asked me if I could roll it out for him at a national level. We spoke for a couple of hours and we both seem pretty excited about it.
The only issue is that it's still a little ways into the future and I need a job within a month or so. We are exploring ways to get me in the door early but we really have to wait and see as he is not finished with his fund raising yet.
Regardless guys, please keep me in your prayers. I will continue on with my other interviews and try my best to land the right job.
I never would have made it through this without the support of KTC and all of you who watch over me. The Nic bitch thought she had a shot at me this time but she was no more than an annoying little gnat.
Jeremy, thanks for everything you did for me, that was huge and I owe you brother.
