I applied to the ad after being out of work for so long, and using the most high tech methods, various job boards, playing phone tag with receptionists and human resource departments. Ironically I stumbled on this ad the old fashioned way: reading the paper while I went to lunch. I was lucky to have an interview with the regional manager right away. He explained what he was doing and what he was looking for: Self motivated individuals with a good attitude who were willing to learn how to run a business from the ground up. Now you know how in some interviews they ask you what are some of your best qualities? Now some people will say they’re punctual, they’re a hard worker, they’re a people person, etc. I just said I was patient, willing to give things time to grow. I must’ve said the magic phrase, since I was called back for a second interview. It was an in depth account about how the business and the model they use. They were a wholesale company dealing with fragrances, we were going to learn all aspects of the business, from the marketing, to training others how to market, how to manage a group of people, and the administrative work that comes with running a branch location. At the end of second interview, he asked the same question, and I said the same answer. Maybe to see if you’re consistent with your answer? Whatever the case, I got the call back and was selected. I was so ecstatic after being out of work for so long, ready to get to work. When I came in the following week in the morning, I was amazed to see the people who were wide awake and were really happy to be there. That is what still sticks with me to this day, the high energy and great attitude in the work place. Like some of the previous reviews state, we learn to market the product to businesses, but we’re free to market it any way we wish. The one thing the branch managers stress after you learn the marketing, is to train others. They stress they don’t want just sales people; they want people who are going to pass on what they have learned to others. After all, being the boss is about delegating tasks, kind of like a sports coach, right? You don’t see the coach playing the game. One of the universal truths is that the key to wealth is to acquire income in a different manner than what we’re used to. Making real wealth won’t happen when you just trade time for money which is what a job is. You’ll be focused solely on that income, and really don’t have the time to make that income work for you. That’s what I picked up not just in this company, but in business in general. This may not be for everyone, but its worth checking out if you’ve been on the job search for a while.
