quieter morning
Enjoying a quiet coffee at a little cafe in Chatswood this morning as I wait for a meeting to begin. I was planning on having a bit of a sleep in, and then heading out here for the 9:30 start… but I left the proposal on my desk at work. So into the city I trotted this morning, collected the proposal and then headed out here.
I had a bit of a crap week at work last week - one little issue with the sales team I now work alongside sort of hit a peak. The mobile sales person I am aligned with (who is supposed to be leading all the mobiles opportunities, and engaging me to complete the implementation. But she’s not overly fantastic at her job at the best of times. So when she found out she had got another job and was leaving… things were looking good. However, she seems to have completely switched off doing her current job, despite not finishing up for another 3 weeks. So I’m doing far more than what I should be as far as opportunities and pricing goes.
But it’s got considerably better this week - not cos she’s doing anything more, she isn’t - but because I found out the person who will be coming across to replace her is a champion. He’s brilliant at doing that job (he just currently works in a different portfolio of smaller customers), so I’m going to really look forward to working with him. The work’s still hard for a little while until he starts… but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel :)

ah yes but our entire team thinks you are a champion, so you know :) two champions = big results.
