Things have changed somewhat since the last post. We’ve moved desks, I’ve hit all of Feb’s targets, I took up bareback horse riding and I’m selling stuff somewhat better than before (handy when you consider that I’m a salesperson). As you may recall I was having a hard time last month and was seriously doubting my ability as a salesperson, I was looking at the possibilities of moving department. This has obviously changed and has done so because I was able to listen in to some other people and got told where I was going wrong by Gary.
So obviously I’m doing a bit better, better enough that my APP (the percentage of extra stuff sold) is at 0.93 where’s it used to be at 0.54 or something, a massive improvement. I’m now ahead on all things except IPP where I’m basically keeping up with my target. I’m still a fair distance behind Lucy (who sells very well) but in a position where I should start earning a not too bad amount of commision. New car and/or computer here I come!
The new desks means I’m now sitting right next to Ross which is… mostly bad because we’re both used to somewhat more space. I’m also next to Stuart whom I’ve been competing with since we started, currently I’m in the lead but he’s had some time off so it’s early days yet.
Up the lane are some horses that Cerys has been tasked with breaking in. Apparently my weighing more than Cerys means I’m a perfect candidate to help, oh and until today we didn’t have a saddle. It’s not nearly as bad as I thought, I originally only said yes because I was bored and wanted a break from programming.
So yes my life is getting a bit better, who knows, maybe this month I’ll grow a personality, perfect my “evil genius” laugh and work out how to wiggle my ears.
