Wow! Is it ever hot! Yesterday we hit 102 degrees. That is almost as hot as my book. Alright enough of that, I hope everyone is fine. This book has taken me just a little longer than I thought. Still it is very close to ending. Please enjoy this next part.
A few weeks had went by and there were no sales at all. I begin wonder about myself, whether I was going to ever sell another car. I guess I thought my luck had run out and so I decided to approach Dan the guy that I'd sold the car to. I called Dan to see if they still had a position open. Dan said they did and that I should come and apply for the position, he told me to come on in Monday.
I showed up bright and early looking my best I wanted to impress after all I was a salesman in getting back in a route sales was truly what I thought I would need to do. I had an interview with the branch manager, Dick, he looked at me and he wanted to know how old I was so I told him that I was 34 and that I was interested in this sales position and he wanted to know why somebody of my age wanted to do route sales he felt that I was a little old to do that.
I explained to him that I explained to him that I was great salesman and that I had been route sales before and I had planned to get his job. I told him that you had to start somewhere so starting at the bottom was fine with me I would prove myself in no time and you see that my positive attitude would gain sales and that I would build me one of the best route sales people he ever had as well as become a route supervisor and then his job as branch manager.
He told me that he thought that I was a little cocky but still I showed a very positive attitude and he that he would give me a try. I was to start as soon as possible and that would be on the following Monday. I would still have time to sell cars maybe my luck would change and I would get a couple of sales in before my time to start a new position.
Sure enough my sales changed and I was on a roll I started selling cars like there was no tomorrow I don't know what it was I must've had a heavy burden lifted of worrying about sales, worrying about making money, but anyhow it still worked out in my favor and I was selling cars. Although I was selling cars and that I'd sold a few that week, Darlene was still convinced that I needed to take the new job. I assured Darlene that I would stop selling cars and that I would take the job. I knew that it had great benefits, insurance, pension, and 401(k), everything that we really needed to start a new career.
