Well at least you helped your other co workersStart a new sales job tomorrow. I'll be doing the same thing just with a different pay structure.
Long story short, I left my last gig after 6 months because they were ************. The company owned two businesses in the building I worked in. The other company was across the hall. One morning I go to work and get into the elevator with this guy. We start talking and realize we are originally from the same area. Both from Louisiana, even though he was from Baton Rouge, but I used to live there while going to college. Fast forward about a month and we're talking again. Keep in mind at my job, dudes were pulling up in Bentleys, BMWs, Land Rovers, etc. Not one Bentley, but two in the lot, right?
No salt, but I'm like how much are dudes getting paid over there?
So me and dude start talking and he lets me in on a secret. Across the hall, these dudes are pulling down $10-$20K a month.Same company. And in my office, we're basically doing the same ****, but they were paying us WAY less. Bruh, I was already disgusted with the leads they were providing and how I was averaging 160 calls a day and selling 2, maybe 3 a day. Perfect timing, this dude who left the job hit me up a few weeks ago and tells me where he's at and wants me to come work there. After 3 weeks he sold 50 people. And not to take anything away from dude, but he wasn't strong at all. But this new spot is all inbound and pays 25% per sale WEEKLY. So he's averaging like 3 a day and taking home some nice paper.
After I put in my 1 day notice, I go in to pick up my last check and the owners were acting super shady. Come to find out they were asking people where I went. I told no one where I was going. Even the accountant asked twice and I said "to another sales job". Talked to a coworker and they bumped the pay the day after I left and offered her a job across the hall because they didn't want to lose her.
I'm still tripping on the fact that they were getting over on us, while these other dudes were caking like that. Dude across the hall also told me that once residuals kicked in, some of those dudes were gonna be making $40K a month.
Not a good look being an angry black man all the time. The gym, I can be angry in. That's what it's for. But at work, man.... Look. The demographic I deal with there are makes me have pure hatred towards a certain privileged race. Help!
Only time it seems that I'm not angry is when I'm with my girl. I have got to change that
The first call I took today (which I didn't get on the phone until after lunch) was a sale. I'm thankful to GOD. I feel like all the **** I put up with over the past few years was a test. After I closed my first deal I got pulled aside by one of the partners in the law firm and one of the higher dudes at the company and they told me that they have big plans for me, just keep doing what I'm doing. Called my Pops and told him the good news and his advice as someone who has had his paper right before, was don't change my spending habits. As a man who USED to have two businesses, real estate, and rental property then lost a lot of it, he said he wishes he had 50 cents of ever dollar he spent on custom suits, expensive shoes, Rolexes, etc. He's financially straight again, but he says he lives like he's broke. Felt good to know my Pops is back on his feet. He tried to give one of my brothers whose doing well the same advice and he didn't take it. Started living like a baller. I'm listening though. |I
