the sales life
What a crazy month it’s been. The massive amount of orders is no where near being under control (a typical day sees about 30 or 40 orders left in the system… we’re currently at 1100 outstanding orders!)… but I’m starting to accept that and find ways around it to get things done for customers that desperately need things before Christmas.
What I just realised today was that this is basically the last week of the month… and I’m not overly close to hitting my numbers. And that is slightly poo. I’m waiting on a customer to sign this week… and if they sign the deal we’ve put on the table and stop asking 4 million questions, then I should be right for this month. But if they don’t… well, I’m in a little trouble. The commission that I wouldn’t get isn’t so bad… it’s the having to answer to my boss who won’t be overly happy that I didn’t hit my numbers :(
That’s how the sales life goes I guess!
About to head over to The Ranch to have some dinner with b-day. Should be a good evening - even though I’m not very hungry after having a rather massive Yum Cha lunch…
